RMweb Gold toboldlygo 11,828 Posted March 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Must have a high crime rate there, judging from what look like burglar alarms on your back-scene Link to comment
bgman 17,107 Posted March 15, 2015 Whilst I don't know too much about this region you seem to have captured something in your modelling of a rural backwater and keenly observed idyll. Gets my vote Well modelled and excellent photographs. Looking forward to the next instalment. Happy modelling Link to comment
MikeOxon 7,154 Posted March 15, 2015 I agree with bgman : these scenes have great atmosphere and you have put a lot of excellent detail into your models. It looks as though you have enjoyed finding the best viewpoints for photography as well. More please Mike Link to comment
David C 602 Posted March 15, 2015 Nice layout! The one thing you seem to have missed out is the church - I got married there almost 25 years ago! David C Link to comment
RMweb Gold wenlock 4,051 Posted March 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Really lovely looking layout, the stock's rather nice too! Looking forward to seeing more about it soon. Link to comment
orford 771 Posted March 15, 2015 You want a photo of it, David? - it's sitting there in a corner of the layout right next to St Bartholomew's Halt! I can tell you the names on most of the headstones in the graveyard too if you really want me too - all authentic on the layout ....but no-one after 1880 out of respect for the locals. Have modelled The Jolly Sailor too - that's just off the end of the station platform on Quay Street. Link to comment
orford 771 Posted March 15, 2015 TBG - As someone asked in the J15 thread - where's the 'smart-ass' key when you need it? If you can get me a picture of the back end of Wickham Market without the burglar alarms - I'll use it! Mind you - you are quite right - I really must touch them out. Link to comment

You could say they're nest boxes and possibly get away with it. Fortunately I haven't spotted any satellite dishes Great work though Link to comment
orford 771 Posted March 16, 2015 Ha Ha - I checked for those (and also painted out a fairly modern 5cwt van in one place).....but never even thought about the burglar alarms! Next time I have an appropriate colour on the paint brush, I'll touch them out. Link to comment
