Oh its so cute! masculine, full of atmosphere.

 

Seriously that's a fine engine & rolling stock.

CK's workmanship put mine to shame - the little engine looks so at home here! I can build a trainsets, lay my own track, paint and weather locos, but just cannot make a kit chassis work! We each have our own areas of speciality which is one of the things that makes the hobby so much fun (and frustrating at times).

 

On a different note, it's interesting just how different the colours on the layout look when seen under natural daylight as here - alot more mauve (not in a bad way I hope). I coloured it for the built in flu-lighting which tends to subdue reds and enhance greens and yellows.

I rather like the outside version of the colours, especially in the first shot. Your backscene is supremely effective.

 

Agree about the loco, it's gorgeous. As are those fishplates, I must find and fit the ones I got for Whitemarsh.

I see what you mean about the "mauveness" (in a good way:) )

I think it looks great under the daylight (then again my Art Teacher is probably sitll laughing at my attempts 25 years later )

I have been to many car shows over the years where there are many interesting vehicles dotted around the car parks (some as good if not better than the ones on show). Does this mean we have to start looking round the car parks for impromtu layout displays?
