RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2018 Very nice Kevin. One day I will model a station with canopies and stuff....... Even the Memsahib asked where the station was going on Bleat Wharf when I laid it out yesterday. I did explain she would have to wait until Lamb Regis...

But, I do have a bag of Dart Casting wall clocks so I better get on and put some up! The other thing that I noticed was that the Shawplan glazing was picking up the reflections of the trees and building either side of the camera, so I had to move things a bit so the camera didn't appear!!! It's these secondary items that, for me, makes a picture - reflections in the glazing, able to see right through the coach to fencing on the opposite platform, passengers inside. This second picture shows that ever better... Didn't originally post this as the RH third door and windows where slightly out of focus. Time for the first train out - quarter past something or other!!!! Edited June 9, 2023 by KNP 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted June 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2018 Didn't originally post this as the RH third door and windows where slightly out of focus. I think it says a lot about your modelling when the only possible criticism of a photo of your layout is that one of the doors and windows is slightly out of focus! Those really are wonderful pictures with no real tell tales that they are a model. It's definitely inspirational and something that I can aspire to when I finally get some decent modelling space back and can lift plans off the drawing board! Kind regards, Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said before, many times, taking pictures is a part of this hobby and to me, it's of equal importance as the model itself. Wish you both luck with your own respective layouts.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2018 'Fanshaw Minor instantly regretted straying into the end compartment of the B set. Not until he had closed the door did he realise the compartment was already occupied. Grayson, the school bully regarded Fanshaw with a look of utter disdain. Fanshaw turned to flee but Grayson was upon him in a flash, like a tiger pouncing on a deer. In a trice Grayson had folded Fanshaw up and deposited him on the seat of the compartment. Fanshaw felt the weight of Grayson as the school bully settled down. 'Damn fine comfortable cushion you make Fanshaw but kindly stop wriggling about or you'll have the finest of fine thrashings!" Being sat on was one thing, but being sat on by the school bully was another thing entirely. It was going to be a long trip thought Fanshaw. Not the start to the new term he had hoped for.....'

KNP Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Escaping from under the seat, Fanshaw Minor, quietly made his way out of the station by scampering over the platform, cross the track and through the hole under the wire fence made by animals.... He could see Grayson sitting totally unaware that he had escaped by sawing through the carriage floorboards with his trusted Swiss army knife. Stealthily moving around the edge of the field now at the dead of night - not sure when that happened but for continuity please follow - tripping, stumbling through the potato plants he spied sanctuary. There in the darkness, lit by a waning moon was the headquarters of the school chess club..... There, they will meet and plan revenge on Grayson...….

stevejjjexcov Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) I did hear that young Scripps stopped playing when the board got water damaged by a sudden shower. It was felt the lack of a roof was part of the problem. Evening games have been suspended,an electrical fault was to blame caused by the sudden shower that ruined the board. This was overheard in the boot room just before prep. Is there any truth in this rumour? Young Scripps would be a loss to the club. Mr Chipps It is noted however that buildings can deteriorate when you get an infestation of public schoolboys!

You have done a lovely job bringing these ancient coaches up to modern standards-they really look the part. He can blame me for that! I just call it 'weathering' Bit harsh on KNP after he spent all that trouble fitting the windows; mine are a cheat with back glazing. But they scrub up well for old timers, don't they! I reckon getting rid of the old glazing, which had a 'prism' effect in it's (noble) attempt to achieve scale glazing depth, is definitely worth the effort, along with filling the surplus window.
