RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6, 2016 Finally got to see the layout for real and have a chat. Great work and captures the atmosphere superbly. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Having been to the Stafford show and seen some quite outstanding modern image modelling on numerous layouts, where such amazing high levels of detail were evident at eye popping quality. I have concluded this level of modelling equates to that of fine art, where as, I feel much more comfortable with a thick brush and pallet knife as an impressionist, I use as an example the operating theatre boxes on Brighton East, excellent. I came away very envious of the patience, dedication and skill at replicating in miniature the protypical railway. that so many exhibiting individuals at the show are able to devote to this hobby. It was a truly inspiring show. Good to meet so many fellow members and put faces to names. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturol Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 These will most probably be the last images I'll post of the area, taken today stood on the roof of an Iveco truck in Jewson yard, ( whilst no staff were looking.) This last image has the reach stacker and the DOW plant in the background. Forthcoming tour dates will see the layout at:- Tonbridge this weekend Thornbury in April Derby in May Weston super mare in September Swansea in October. Possibly at Cardiff show in October. Dates into 2017 are also booked, details to follow. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted February 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2016 Having been to the Stafford show and seen some quite outstanding modern image modelling on numerous layouts, where such amazing high levels of detail were evident at eye popping quality. I have concluded this level of modelling equates to that of fine art, where as, I feel much more comfortable with a thick brush and pallet knife as an impressionist, Whether it's manipulated toothpaste tubes to give an overall impression or individual rivet applications to ensure precise accuracy, the consistent approach will produce the best model railway layouts. This was evident at Tonbridge where Vopak and Much Murkle were right next to each other. Both were busy all day with a constant stream of admirers, although I'm not necessarily saying that either of them used toothpaste tubes or individual rivets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Wanting to run the MPV with containers is still on the cards, but I can't overcome the issue that the MPVs use an electrical connection between the units, not a Kadee, I want to run some frets between the power cars similar to that found by Ben for me in this image. Luckily I've also got the RES 47 to hand, so thinking caps on. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 66059 worked the ADJ to Barry today, and was unloaded on a different concrete apron located on the north side of the dock where DUNN bros, scrap used to be located. There was a secondary reach stacker performing here whilst the normal one was moving containers across the water as normal. Three shots taken whilst the train blocked the roadway as it re positioned to allow the final three frets to be unloaded. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
