Sunset, a level crossing and a railcar
Broithe replied to heirflick's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
I've never seen it specifically for this application, but Evergreen do an angle strip - http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/Shapes.htm - although the smallest is still a bit big at 1.5mm a side for 00 gauge - but, the 0.75mm quadrant, lying on it's back, might be about right..? -

These are the old triangular wooden type.. ..they used these where the gates didn't close off the track completely when they were opened for the road traffic..

They use a concrete version over here to stop people straying sideways off pedestrian road crossings - can catch you nicely if you stray onto it in the dark... https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=stafford&ll=52.802474,-2.113224&spn=0.001425,0.002411&hnear=Stafford,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.802474,-2.113224&panoid=dmJ6T7-8fVA_zkaGc9K10w&cbp=12,325.59,,1,15.62 -

Try walking on the pyramids and you'll find out how awkward it is, whether you have human feet or hooves - they used to use triangular bits of wood in the old days.. -
Do you deal with the public at all...? Anyway, everything should be orange with a black stripe through the window-line - seems obvious to me.

A yellow band would make it look a bit An Post..

They'll be a struggle in O scale....

As I always say in these circumstances - it's almost a shame to paint it.

It's a perfectly simple self-assembly replacement procedure - it's then just a matter of waiting for the materials to cure - sometimes takes months, I understand.

It's OK - risks have to be taken. Children are quite easily replaced - video opportunities are far more important and potentially unique.

There's never too many pics. ..did you stand on a child at the end of the video..?

It was well worth the risk of you getting hypothermia for pictures like that. -
Millionth is pretty close....

Marvellous! Indeed, one can almost feel the rain.

At least it wasn't an acid bath.

One of the features of Irish railways that can be very attractive for a personal layout is that many locations hardly altered over several decades. Merely by changing any road vehicles and, maybe, the odd footbridge etc, you can justifiably run steam trains or a 22000 on the same layout.

Irish Rail on Twitter - Drumcondra Station closed UFN due to a mechanical fault on a freight train. Update to follow.

Excellent - I wouldn't be too surprised of the pads do rotate somewhat, even without the belt - the centres seem slightly offset from the line of the rail and that should have some turning effect imparted to them as the wagon moves. Might be worth putting a mark on the edge and seeing what happens.
