Morfa Bach Picture update 29 March 2012

Getting towards the finishing stages now, that's if a model railway is ever "finished" there are always little jobbies to be done somewhere.

 

Morfa Bach is no exception and I shall still be adding detail and paint in 12 months time!

 

But, all work and no play is no fun, so, taking advantage of this weeks fair weather I dragged the layout out on to the back yard and posed a few locos wagons and coaches for some natural daylight pictures.

 

Here's a few of the many shots taken this afternoon.

A Collett mogul 7340 on another UP frieght.

 

Finally, I couldn'd resist taking these last two pictures of both sides of Morfa Tunnel.

Another update when I have some thing to show.

 

Cheers!

Excellant Frank , looks like the real thing in daylight just needs a puff of 'faux' smoke

from the loco's . :-)

Brilliant, Frank!

 

Just love that photo of the Mogul and carriages and the one of 46520 about to enter the tunnel is a real money shot. Glad you're enjoying the good weather - long may it last.

 

No model is ever finished in the eyes of the creator, that's art for you - we can't stop tinkering with them. Lovely and inspirational piece of work.

 

Must say, you're stock is highly detailed and very convincing by the way.

 

Regards,

Oooh lovely! Frank this layout is so appealing, and - significantly - it is also different. Those two shots mentioned by Mike are also my favourites. Moguls rule, OK! :-)

Hi Dukedog

 

As a resident of the Aberystwyth area, I can say that you've captured the character of the locality to perfection.

 

I recall speaking to you at the Wolverhampton show when you were there with Pen y Bont. I think Morfa Bach was then just a twinkle in your eye? Just shows how well you've progressed. Keep up the good work!
