Hello everyone. It's still the same problem. Some will pay because of people (I wanted to use another word, but I'll be polite) messing around. Like the insurance premiums which increase regularly because of the dishonest who abuse. Both at home in the UK and with us in France.

Thanks RogerB. steam_locomotive

Goodnight all. How long to wait for avatar approval?

Thank you RogerB. Glad to see I'm not the only one and it's not bad manipulation on my part. For forum reading, I use Chrome because there is instant translation. And to create a post or reply, I use Firefox.

Hello everyone. As I don't speak English well, I use Google translate. With Chrome, I can't copy/paste the translation into the message. It's not hardware as I tried on W10, W11 and Android. The text is copied and erased immediately. On the other hand, with Firefox, no problem.

Hello Wapples. That's 1/5776. Good luck. Personally, I already have trouble with the 1/76 and the 1/87.

Thank you PH for this information. I use Google translation and the grammar is not always respected. And in French, the two expressions mean the same thing. I made the correction, but I want to leave your message. Feel free to correct my mistakes, it's learning. Thanks again.

Hello everyone. Thank you very much for all your very interesting answers. Strange this bus accident. Even if it is not the planned route, the driver must know the height of his vehicle and know if it passes or not. Especially since it's not a few small centimeters removed. Or maybe it's his first time driving a double-decker and he's forgotten. To return to the original subject, I asked this question because I am in France and I do not know the British measurement system. And in the first photo, without a landmark, it looked small compared to the dimension on the panel. But in the photo with the SAAB it looks correct. I discovered the British railways by watching television series (Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Barnaby, etc) which we adore Madame and me. And I fell in love with these railways. I had already talked about it on this forum, a long time ago, but I was very ill and I remained absent all this time. Now that I'm better, I'm going to start model railroading again. I want to make a small UK-inspired network and while researching I came across the Llangollen Railway and its Berwyn station. Of course, I will not represent it 100%, but simply an evocation. Just as I do not wish to represent a particular company. Well, sorry for the novel. I will come back to you for other questions later and on another thread. Many thanks again for all your answers.

Here is what it says on https://metrication.uk/transport/roads/vehicle-restriction-signs/ IMPERIAL HEIGHT To obtain the imperial figure shown on the signs, the deck height is measured in feet and inches, rounded to the nearest inch. 3 inches are subtracted from the measured value. The remaining value is then rounded to the nearest multiple of 3 inches. The bridge is signed with the rounded value in feet and inches. If I understand correctly: The measurement of the bridge equals 14' 7"5/8. Round up to the nearest inch, which is 14' 7". 3 inches are subtracted from the measured value, resulting in 14' 4". The remaining value is then rounded to the nearest multiple of 3 inches, resulting in 14' 3". Is this correct?

Thank you for these responses. I understand that it is not the height of the bridge at the level of the arch, but the maximum height recommended for a vehicle. Above, it may catch. Here is another photo with a vehicle to give an idea of ​​the height. I actually asked the question because I want to depict a diorama of Berwin Station on the Llangollen Railway and that bridge is the station platform. And without a landmark, more than 4m seemed like a lot to me. But with a vehicle underneath, it seems possible. So I can start my calculations to represent this at 1/76. Many thanks again for your explanations and the various very interesting links.

Thank you for the clarification The son of Triangman.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello all. Interested in old British railway companies, I am researching to model a station. I already have some interesting ideas. But while doing my research, I saw models of vehicles in 7mm and 4mm. Can you tell me what scale it is? In advance, thank you for your answers. I don't speak English well, so I use Google for translation. So sorry for the syntax.

@Duke Thank you very much for the explanations.
