Truly stunning Chris B)

A great picture, is the Morri Traveller the Oxford or Classix one. We had one just like that when we were first married, over 30 years ago now .. But the paint had come off the aluminium roof leaving it silver, the faded green looks just right, the models I have seen in the shops look too bright.

That is beautiful...for me that pictures sums up what Model Railways are all about.

 

Thanks for sharing Chris

That photo really captures the time and place. I do like it.

Every time I see your stuff, Chris, there is a conflict between inspiration (some of the most realistic and atmospheric models and photos I've seen) and dejection (why the ____ do I bother?) ! Thankfully the former wins......

 

Thanks - stunning, as Redgate says.

Stunning (as usual). The natural light certainly makes a difference over artificial light. Seems to make the colours even more natural.

Thanks - natural light is far more gentle on the beige, greens and yellows which tend to get distorted with artificial low energy lighting like flus. They're still better than spots though with their mulitple shadows and pools of light. Daylight or my daylight photographic lighting is best though.

This shot taken under the layout's own flu lighting makes an interesting comparison, note how the loco green is a little richer http://www.nevardmedia5.fotopic.net/p68950792.html
