@giubarabino23 thankyou, I also find Italian bells interesting as they have full circle ring and call changes, although not as advanced as English change ringing the fact is it is a cultural phenomena which only happens in Italy.

It could be arranged plus a visit to Brian's outdoor battery powered( HO x2) layout ie O gauge

Thanks, I'm pleased with it.

I have no idea how it all works but Brian is very high tech and im low tech

I don't believe it has but it has been rung manually a few times and there is a video on youtube showing it being rung, although not one of my videos. I think it's about justifying the cost to replace the motor.

@@Steven_Rowe Very nice to hear that it has been rung manually! Must take a lot of strength (I am assuming multiple people) to get it swinging. Hopefully everything is fixed soon so it can be heard more often, glorious bell to say the least!

@@annawx_ two people can ring it. Great )eter of Yorkminster is 10 tons and is easily rung by one person

He used to get in from the tower where the 12 are and walk over to the other tower but now you get in via a security entrance and walk along high above the nave of the Cathedral.

No other at all.

A very good question, I need to complete my A4

@@Steven_Rowe Thank you for your reply. Hope everything is alright for yourself and family.

@@tulyar1043 I just get so tired and it really drains my enthusiasm.

@@Steven_Rowe Sorry to hear that. Have you had a check up by your GP? Maybe if you started to, say, checking the rolling stock on your layout and do any repairs,tweaking needed this might help bring your mojo back.

@tulyar1043 i had a bone marrow transplant 26 years ago, the chemo really changes you, it's like it aged you 10 years but also damages other parts of you, in my case lungs. I need to get back into the A4, even a few bits a day will help.

It is Billy Clarke, do you know Billy? He lived in Sydney but now resides in the UK. Billy is a good ringer and a it of a heavy bell man too. A very humble and decent man if ever there was one. I know who used in ring at Clerkenwell a lot. One of my favourite 8s in London G&J of course.

@@Steven_Rowe I've rung with Billy a few times.

@@RingerThomas I always enjoyed ringing with Billy, the other thing I love about Billy is he is not a member of the ringing elite who look down upon lesser ringers such as myself. One thing I have never been is a fantastic ringer I just like lovely bells and well struck ringing. The Perrins family here in Aus are cracking ringers

​@Steven_Rowe Do you know James White? He is in charge of Imperial College, Windsor Castle, and St Margarets Westminster. Great ringer and he also called my first peal.

@@RingerThomas I know the name. I never rung at Windsor but have been up the tower with my dad in the 1960s as dad was a bell hanger for Whitechapel. When it comes to great ringers I know Brian Bladon, I have know him all my life , I can remember sitting on his shoulders watching the Lord Mayor show in 1956. Brian has rung in the vicinity of 5000 peals.

Algorithms has nothing to do with anything. The bell weighs 16ton 14cwt 2 quarters and 19lbs So in pounds that is 37483lbs. Metric would be 17002.003KG

@Steven_Rowe What thing does hit a 37,500 lb bell?

@@EricLeiserArtist00 you can see it, it's called a clapper.

I'm doing well. Just been to Tasmania for 3 weeks Now to finish my A4

Pretty cool

Hello Steve, have you finished your B1?

@tulyar1043 Yes, I'm surprised you didn't watch my video. It's in the play list which I have linked below ruclips.net/p/PLAptIJZrV7qZ5KWIMNSSQy7Lf9sfo5jvp&si=kvfCgIYB23C2nPel

Definitely not from China.

The hour bell was cast in 1717, the quarter or Ting tang as you call them were cast in 1707 and Great Paul in 1881

It is a DJH loco kit

@@Steven_Rowe Oh, well awesome job mate!

@samuelsmith9586 thanks, I try hard and the next model will be better.

Thanks

No problem

It does run well and its BIG

The lining isn't as good as I wanted it to be, it's a fiddly job that requires good eyes as steady hand and lots of patience , but overall it looks very good and it runs well.

Thank Rob. The A4 next

It's a brass spectacle plate surrounds

@@Steven_Rowe thanks Steve

I would like to believe in divine providence

@@Steven_Rowe God Works in Mysterious ways ✝️

I try hard.

The N2 needs the quad arts. I'm slowly trying to build all I have

The N2. Is a Warren Sheppard kit

Thanks, I would like to think my down to earth warts and all modelling helps, im no expert except at making mistakes.

Exactly BER WIAN. Scwewy Bwian, wasn't the messiah, he was just a naughty boy.

No I have heard the DJH news but no doubt they are giving up the model train business, failing interests and rising costs.

Thanks Dale, still a bit of work to do, but I'm almost done

Thank Eric, I do my best.

Thanks, I covered a lot of sins

In over the moon . Thanks

I can't wait either

I'm glad the tender is finished, now onto the loco which is almost finished, and then full speed ahead on the A4

@@Steven_Rowe Choo choo

Thanks, yes I know I'm not even a novice when it comes to kit collections and having a lot on the go I'm trying to focus on one thing only

I bought another spray can of the same make , only satin, I have now sprayed the tender, and it looks so much better, I'm now working on the loco.

It's been so difficult, I realise I'm not as good as I want to be.
