Castle Anthrax

[Anonymous]

Working on an idea I got from Nick, I am going to build a castle for my area 3 on which I am working.

We are working on naming a few features and I have thought that a few scary and/or notorious type names would add flavour to things

A few other ideas I had were Vampire Tunnel (every one knows vampires live in train tunnels). What about Atila's Viaduct ?

What do people think and do we have any further ideas in this direction

Ian Frankenstein.

PS I am also buiding a diviathon, have many other people got one and is this name poular outside Australia, it doesn't sound like an Aussie name to me.

NSW actually has one or had one, on the main line between Sydney and Melbourne, near a place ca,,ed Bethungra.

Ian,
Can we just call you "Igor" from now on??? Interesting flavour you are adding there. Let us know what you come up with. Rgds eh...Brian.

I see Monty Python is making the rounds. The Castle Anthrax is straight from the Holy Grail. it's not scary, it's bawdy.[swg]

Chris Walas and his buddies built a fantastic example for public display. Here's a link that will tell about it:

I knew it was only a matter of time before you showed up on this one Vic. I was actually surprised I beat you to it.

I like Whiterab's suggestion, but for a couple seconds I thought he had misspelled ROO. Then I remembered who started this topic.[:D]

I don't watch much of Monty Python well not at all really but I have few movies etc.

What about Widow maker curve.

Ado;lph Hitler memorial bridge or Nero'd Viaduct.

Ian,
would a voodoo engine driver be a 'Shayman'?
would a skeleton log car rattle your bones?
would Castle Anthrax keep animals?
would a loco shed be used as an asylum?

questions, questions.................
Cheers mate,

Hey Ya'll,

I think Vampire's Tunnel is a great name. I am at a loss at what to call the castle though. How about Blink Bonny Castle. (I combined the name of a Gresley A3 locomotive and the castle). It sounds erie like those scary scottish castles. I might suggest making a Ghost Train to go along with it. See my Topic on Ghost Trains.

(Caslte Azkaban might work too. It is the name that JK Rowling gave the feared Wizard prison in the Harry Potter Movies and Series)

You obviously have been down the old rbberdy dub again.

Castle azkarban has been done.

Ian,

Franc-en-steen! I look forward to your pics on this. Will you be using jigstones?

[Anonymous]

Hey Ya'll

Igor, I didn't understand your reply. Did that mean that is the name you are going to use, or does it mean there is another castle called Azkaban?

You could try adding a grail shaped becon.

Ian, or is that Igor Macabre,
You'll have to have a gallows, hang 'em high I say!! Could even have a gallows flat car to travel around the Kingdom (sorry, I mean Republic), any serfs (Poms?!!!) found loitering - string 'em up! In fact a gondola full of coffins would be a very nice touch together with a cabosse for the grave diggers to travel in - unless you make the serfs dig their own.
Cheers,

We are knights of the round table---Everybody sing!!!

[vsmith]

King Arthur standing in front of an imposing castle that looks slightly like a cardboard cutout...

"Knights, I bid you welcome to your new home...

Let us Ride...to Camelot!..."


Da Dum Da Da Dot!

"We're knights of the round table
We dance when e'er we're able
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impecc-Able.
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot!
[dancing]

"We're knights of the Round Table
Our shows are for-mid-Able
But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsing-able
We're opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm a lot!
[tap-dancing]

In war we're tough and able
Quite indefatig-Able
Between our quests we sequin vests
And impersonate Clark Gable
It's a busy life in Camelot...

...I have to pu***he pram a lot!"

Dum da dum da dum dum dot, dum da dum da dum dum dot!






"No...on second thought, lets NOT go to Camelot...it is a Silly place..."

Who runs the railroad - could it be Count Tracula?

Tender could be dripping blood and the cow catcher could be two really big teeth.

Ian,
I'm always down the rubber dub dub mate, that's why my railway grows but slowly. What's a diviathon? does it eat Moby *** (& therefore Capt Ahab) for breakfast? Does Castle Anthrax do bed & breakfast and does the bacon/sausages etc come from the butchers or is it carrion? Saying that, what am I carrion on about, this is a railway/python forum. So much confusion!
Cheers,
Kim

A diviathon is when two tracks of a dual track main line run separately, usually for reasons to do with tough terrai, as it is at Bethungra.

With my diviathon one line goes down hill across a bridge etc and becomes part of my clockwise reversing loop (don't forget I have an anti clockwise one down in area 1) will rejoin the main line down near Pumphouse Tunnel. The left hand track heads up hill and will run across the Adolph Hitler memorial Viaduct. This is being m,ad out of concrete blocks and will be 4 m long (13') with 14 spans and 400 mm (16") high.
Il'l send you a photograph whenIget the tracks to that point, I am still getting my geometry right for the hardware as yet.

PS, just checked the map, 14 degrees sea temp

[Anonymous]

Gee thats good Kim, 14 degrees that should be as warm as it gets in the Irish Sea, but how do you swim in it. My pool is 20 deg and the Coral Sea is 22 degrees and were only 6 weeks out of winter, and its a bit cool just yet for me but Doreen is swimming regularly in the ocean and bit in the pool.

On to Railways, we have Vampires Tunnel just about completed now and my little fun train looks really neat coming out of it. It is 225 mm storm water pipe 1.8 m long and the portals are made of concrete blocks from my Jigstone kit, which I got the lead on from Old Dad.

It is just getting dark here now so i can't get a good photo will try tomorrow mate. It must be about 8 am there now, and 6 pm here we are 10 hours ahead of GMT.

Regards

Ha yes old chaps, now I realy know how you get around this time of season! [:D][}:)][:O][alien][X-)][:-^]

[whiterab]

Are you going to give space in one of the towers so the Wizard of Oz can practice his alchemey?

[Anonymous]

Hey Ya'll

I have something that you might find interesting. As before mentioned. You might want a ghost or a scary train to go with Vampire's tunnel. The Ghost Train topic I set up should be around here somewhere. You might want a blood red colored train decorated with vampire carb to go with you tunnel ian.

Re the space for an alchemist toi work, i would dearly love to have a few explosions and smoke from time to time but Doreen wouldn't allow it.

I would also like a blood red train bat again, see above.

I already have the plans for the castle and the means to build it, I think if you go inot Jigstones, you may get and idea of it. This is also link I got from old Dad, and its a goody. They al;so actually have plans for a tower with a 4 sided clock that works and is illuminated, I am looking at hat as well.

My tunnel portqals were built from Jigstones and they are to die for will get some photos out soon.
