And money.
And time….
the whole project is quite exceptional. There are lots of “master class” examples.

flagged for interest a couple of months ago.
and earlier than that for the full concept.

Berlin Anhalter station (Berlin-Basel-Milano 1930's) - HO.
Every now and again something interesting pops up whilst flicking through youTube and this is no exception. It's early days yet but this recreation of Berlin Anhalter station is looking incredible. The detail and thought that has gone into it so far is fantastic, some of his earlier videos on...

That was interesting, but is does bring to mind the original architect, who started with a drawing board, blank piece of paper and a pencil!

Can't beat it ! no programme to learn or pay for, no electricity, just a human rain, simples

not so simple. Draughtsman was a profession that required a lot of knowledge about technical terminology and drawing rules. When I was a student of mechanical engineering in the 1980, I had to produce correct transparent paper drawings in indian ink and standard lettering.Can't beat it ! no programme to learn or pay for, no electricity, just a human rain, simples

Similar experience - still have one of my student books - still have painful memories of trying to calculate angled pipe intersections with a cone!

Fabrication, being part of the job description, we had to produce allsorts of weird shapes, the worst was the elephants &rse, the recognized name for gas turbine exhaust which was round where it came off the back of the engine round, turned through 90° and end up square or rectangular with radiused corners, but had a hole to accommodate the the drive shaft from the power turbine to the gearbox.

Type 42?

Woosh?? Simon said "Type 42" so Tony obliged and entered 42 on his keyboard. I thought it was a clever response.

Type 21, 22, 23, 42 and the baby carriers. I've not worked on any other classes of gas turbine boats.

Just to clarify…. As an undergrad I worked on HMS Liverpool at Cammell Laird, which as Tony notes had two Tynes and two Olympus (Olympii?) and thus four elephant’s arses, which prompted my question to Phil. I didn’t get to play with the engines 
probably just as well…
(I did get a chance to play with the Rover 1S60 gas turbine fire pump that Liverpool Poly had in one of the engineering labs. That was fun.)

We refitted her in the late 80's early 90's.

Tony typed 42 and asked what next.....the question mark, he forgot to type it !

I'll conceded - pedantically correct.
