Hi Job,

 

The canal bank I walk along every morning is brick with some more modern (1920's?) Sections. It is blue engineering brick but there are sections above the water level in ordinary red brick.

 

All the best

Thanks Nick. Used your answer to do some google search and say that there are red (orange) and blue engineering bricks. The size is just like the normal bricks. So I can use Scalescenes textures to produce the canal dock walls.

 

Well, we are very fortunate that Philip Ogleby has provided us (and the Northall Gazette) with such interesting information...

 

That warehouse looks pretty good for a quick build. Job! I like the lighting behind it, the effect is very nice. 

How pictures can fool us.

The windows are just paper prints.

Missed your picture of Philip Ogleby in your reply.

Maybe its possible to create him as a figure on the layouit.

Hi Job,

I had another look at the canal on the way to work today. Some of the canal side and the locks are done in stone blocks. So you could pretty much do whatever you like the look of. There's an article on canals in this month's British Railway Modelling.

Thanks Nick.

I found some great textures with the following possibillities: blue round stone, stone, brick, concrete.

On the modern canal nearby my house in the Netherlands they used wood pilars.

Unfortunatly British Railway Modeling is not available in the Netherlands. Mostly I look to an article first before buying.

I like that picture, Mikkel. Must be possible to create him on the layout. Hope I have the right figure in my box.

He has that "cloudy wine" look, what is alright for a more experienced wine salesman.

The "cloudy wine look". Very nice way of saying it :-)

 

Amazing that those windows are just prints!
