That is a deep IDEA. I belive it is a starting point to a PhD thesis !!!!martink wrote:The idea that hobbies are stress-relieving is a very common misconception. Their actual purpose is stress-balancing, since how much you do is under your control, so that you can always maintain a constant amount of stress in your life. After all, if you ever do ever become stress-free, the universe will sense this and take drastic corrective action - very risky!
Very impressive Doug. This project will be quite something when it's finished. I've been following your progress and it's looking great. Brilliant detail.dkightley wrote:The Royal Albert bridge is starting to take shape.....
The track deck, sides and tube. Not shown are the 11 crossmembers. The sides glued to the deck.... Test assembly to fit the ends of the deck sections and the tubes into the columns... Closer view of the detail of the girderwork. The crossmembers still need fitting....but I'm going to paint the track bed first. I'm pretty pleased at the level of detail I've managed to achieve.....
The spans are around 12 inches long each and have good access along the sides to get tweezers, etc into to persuade a stuck train to move. But with reliable running...and a well pre-cleaned track... I get virtually no issues. At least I got very little on the Forth Bridge, where access was a little worse!Question of reality - How will the hand of god sort out things if you have a problem on those 2 loverly complex spans?
