RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted October 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi Andy, Looking good! That first shot of the 9F stood alongside the puddle, looks like it was taken an hour or two after the fireman had been using the blowdown valve! Nice work as ever mate.

Focalplane Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 And photo no. 2 (Jinty 47500) looks as though someone has been spilling some oil in the puddle. Quite authentic in my non-PC opinion (having worked in the oil industry for far too long). Nice natural weathering, Andy! Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have noticed that there are four types of modeller, The engineer type who likes to build things, no matter how good and accurate it is still a very good model. The collector type who likes to buy things, and with what he has brought has a very enjoyable model railway. The know it type who never does anything but can be a wealth of information. The arty type who can make things look realistic and lived in like our Mr P does with his layouts. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focalplane Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Andy, what you now need is an Edge Hill A1X sitting, rusting away in the yard. Here's an artist's impression: http://warwickshirerailways.com/misc/bf2.htm There is an OO Gauge model, isn't there? Hope you're feeling better, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you should know that. And of course, there those of us who might just span more than one type. Happy to build things, weather things, buy things, ignore expert advice by invoking Rule 1. Etc., etc. Real hybrid modellers, brought about by one's age and time left to complete what needs to be done. Paul 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hi Paul There are the sub groups within the main grouping and of course some people do fall into more than one group, take me engineer type, collector type, know-it-all type but I cannot call myself arty type.

Andrew P Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Cheers Guys, Thanks for all the comments, and as for the Artist bit, well I wouldn't know where to start with a Kit or Scratch building a Loco or coach, so each to his or her own, and long may it be that way so that we can all admire the skill and dedication of others work. I think I need a stiff running session after that. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emt_911 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi Andy I thought you told me that there wasn't a lot to catch up on It's taken me most of the day to read the posts and watch the videos. An amazing amount of progress with the track work sitting in the landscape. I have to agree with many of the comments above about the standard of this layout. Absolutely stunning. Hope you're feeling better soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Puddles look good Lovely to see some BR Late Crest Morning Dan and thanks, I wanted to do a few puddles just to give the Yard a bit of character and take away the blandness of the sidings, I'm very pleased with them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're feeling better soon Hi Duncan, firstly it's good to see you back mate, and I hope your Family problems are now getting sorted. When we spoke on the phone last week, In my mind, I didn't think I'd done much since you were last around, but I'd forgotten about the Videos, the cough is still here so another day or two I should be outside again to finish off the Yard and get onto the next bit, that will probably be re looking at the Goods Yard. Keep in touch and when your working up this way next, give me a ring, and we'll arrange a visit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks Guys, and much appreciated your comments above. This morning I've been out and wired in the 5 Point Motors for the New Yard into the switch panel, so just the last two Signals to add Looms to, and then fit at the down end of the Platforms, and that will be all the wiring completed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
