Paul's Fantastic Workbench!: A ride on the Poppy Line.

http://paulthehalfwit.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-ride-on-poppy-line.html

Confessions of a serial kit builder. Sunday, 9 August 2015. A ride on the Poppy Line. What to do when holidaying in North Norfolk and the rest of the family are having afternoon tea? Tea and cake is fine, but afternoon tea sounds rather too formal for my liking.) Simple, find a steam railway and go for a ride. This year it was the turn of the North Norfolk Railway (last year I rode on the Wells and Walsingham. Heading back to Holt I failed to photograph the yard at Weybourne as a young girl stood at the ...

Saturday, August 3, 2013. EL Moore’s legacy in the 21st century: A start. I’ve been thinking for some time about a series of posts on E. L. Moore and what his articles and projects might mean here in the 21th century. I figured I’d make a start as a prod to get me to write the rest. Here goes. E L Moore was one of the most prolific writers in the model railroading press in the mid 20. 30 in Model Railroader,. Along with 5 in Railroad Modeler. And 3 in Model Railroader. I’ve also drawn on Model Rail...

30 Squares of Ontario: Persistence of Memory

https://30squaresofontario.blogspot.com/2015/05/persistence-of-memory.html

Saturday, May 2, 2015. I’m slowing down a little on E. L. Moore related posts as I prepare to meet with a number of collectors and Mr. Moore’s step-son in the summer. In the meantime I’ve been wandering through old family albums and ephemera. I was rather surprised to see this drawing in the August 1974 issue of CARtoons. By Jerry Barnett that I bought in some Scarborough smoke shop many years ago. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). E L Moore in the 21st Century Series. Twenty-five years at the Movies.

Monday, May 4, 2015. The Model Railroad Right of Way. The Model Railroad Right of Way. By Oliver Wilson Whitwell, published by The Modelmaker Corporation, 1935. I bought this well preserved copy a couple of weeks ago for $20 US]. But remember those good long articles by George Allen . they were long and strung out but intensely interesting. However, there aren’t too many George Allen’s around and incidentally I wonder what became of him. By the by, where is he these days? Used to illustrate the concepts&...

https://30squaresofontario.blogspot.com/2013/09/e-l-moores-legacy-in-21th-century-balsa.html

Sunday, September 22, 2013. E L Moore's Legacy in the 21st Century: Balsa, cost, a handcar shed and organic veggies. I shall tell you what I used in the way of building materials, and in spite of what the editor may insinuate, I do not grind up balsa and mix it with my breakfast cereal, and as for grits the balsa might improve them. but I’ll admit to a weakness for using balsa for almost every building purpose. E L Moore winding up on materials for his Small MFG. Plant. That's balsa on the left, and bass...
