@barryluck16252 ай бұрын
Nice to hear from somebody who knew the station! There are two things which help with good depth of field. One is to use good studio lighting, which I was able to do with the Plumpton videos, under controlled conditions. I have two softboxes, each with five 600w flourescents, giving a total of 6000w. The other technique is to take the video from a reasonable distance (say 6ft) with the focal length at mid-range (ie not telephoto) and use software to pan and zoom to get the close ups. I hope that helps.

There are fiddle yards at either end of the layout representing the signal boxes either side of Plumpton. There are block instruments in each fiddle yard, (identical to those shown in the video) so there is two-way communication between the Plumpton signalman and the two fiddle yard operators. The block instruments are used in a more-or-less prototypical fashion to control trains arriving at or leaving Plumpton. I hope that answers your question?

Pulborough was built by the Mid-Sussex 1883 group, a Scalefour area group. In 1997 we embarked on a new layout called 'Brighton Road'. Various members of the group moved away and we disbanded sometime around 2005. Brighton Road had a brief period on the exhibition circuit but was dismantled in 2014. In 2012 my son and I started a new layout 'Plumpton Green' which has been exhibited many times over the past ten years. (We own all the stock which ran on Pulborough). We are now building a smaller layout 'Ouse Wharf' which will be exhibited at the Bluebell in July, and Uckfield in October.

For the first couple of years on the exhibition circuit, the signals were non-working. Making them functional (including all the ground signals) made a huge difference to the pleasure of operating the layout, and also dramatically reduced 'operator error'. We had a plan to interlock the lever frame (as on Plumpton Green), but I only got as far as drawing up the locking table. For the last few years we used the block bells from Plumpton, which improved operation.
