Foster Street - Time for Another List

Well this time last week, the Domestic Overlord and I were running around trying to get fit the proverbial quart into a pint pot, or more accurately Foster Street into the a Focus.

 

Well it just about fit and I just about fit behind the steering wheel, anyway a week later, and no modelling has been done, to be honest I needed a bit if a break from it.

 

However I could not quite break away from it entirely, and I have spent a little time working on a list of the things that either need completing, improvement or even starting.

 

The problem is even I am amazed at how long this list is, and how many things I have added to it that are not really a priority like my pressing urge to build a breakdown train, and before anyone remarks upon it, its not because my motive power keeps failing :)

 

Anyway during my moments of musing of the expanding jobs I had a look at some of the photo's of the layout taken by Phil who volunteered (press ganged) to help operate the layout at its first exhibition, and despite his constant moans about how the LMS is vastly inferior to the SR seemed to enjoy himself.

 

What hit me is how Phil's mastery of that instrument of the black arts, aka a camera, has managed to make even my modelling look passable so here are a few of his photographs.

 

Until Next time as ever Happy modelling :)

Now that pics are such a key part of blog entries, you should have a talk with Phil and get yourself a camera that can do justice to all your models - close-up focussing is a must (NB Christmas is coming so start dropping hints!)

 

That close-up of 'Trafalgar' is great - hard to believe it is N-gauge!  Nice to see it 'crewed' but I thought lamps were another of your pet hates  :)  I like the fact that, in modelling, there's always something else to do! 

 

The canal scenes are very atmospheric, especially that wall and the overhanging trees - I can almost hear the drips echoing. (there's an idea for sound effects!)

 

I look forward to seeing your breakdown train.

I ran out of lamps, maybe I have too many engines?

 

I think your right about the camera, I may have to splash some cash

Unfortunately I'm going to have to agree with Mike, the Jubilee is quite impressive for an N gauge model. Particularly when set against my "00 modeller misconceptions".

 

We obviously need another running session to take more photos then!

Its the weathering that sets it off lol only joking,

 

 

I just have to get permission from the Domestic Overlord to put the layout back up in the spare room. :)

Lovely pictures of a nice layout.

Especially the picture of the canal and the small factory is impressive.

Job

 

Thanks for the kind comments but there is still a lot to do on the layout
