  1. I had a quick look in at Popham airfield yesterday and came across this box being used, presumably, as a store. I was thinking it was one of the 1960s vintage Freightliner boxes?:
  2. This is excellent modelling, in any scale. Really talented modellers at work. Thanks for sharing. Best Scott.
  3. I have to say, Matt, based on previous threads, and the information you're able to share on this one, I'm thoroughly looking forward to getting my hands on your new book. Best Scott.
  4. some inspiration: 43 033 tails 43 022 1C05 0800 Paddington - Penzance as they rumbe into Parsons Tunnel near Horse Cove at Dawlish (1125) Sunday 18th August 2013Horse Cove near Dawlish (1125) Sunday 18th August 2013 by Colin Brooks, on Flickr Rocks and Rollers by Stapleton Road, on Flickr Kennaway Tunnel by Stephen Dance, on Flickr
  5. Could I make the following suggestions? I think the left and right hand sides of the layout look perhaps too symmetrical, to the extent that it might jar and annoy/ruin an illusion, so could you start your backscene before the junction, on the left hand side, hiding the junction (it doesn't need to be under scenery if you didn't want to, you could just have a back scene hiding it, or you could have removable scenery to allow access to the junction for derailments, cleaning, etc.) Similarly, you could hide the sharp curve on the approach to the right hand junction and make the run in between similar to the Dawlish sea wall area you reference above. There is at least one very short tunnel through an outcrop in that section which could be modelled for extra interest, and as I say to hide the sharp curve. I wonder if it is also possible to have the station curve concave as you look at it from the operating well, rather than convex. It might help with the sharp corners at each side of the station? The edit of your drawing, below, hopefully conveys my meaning, although I appreciate I just scribbled quickly, and it is very rough and ready. Best Scott.
  6. Excellent, thanks Andy. The XP64 Type 4 looks lovely. Best Scott.
  7. Delighted to see the LMS Twins. I'll be taking 10001, at the very least, and I think I might take the XP64 Type 4. Best Scott.
  8. A for me too. the upright tree adds to the framing of the scene to my mind. Best Scott.
  9. Steven, is that a typo or are you party to information not yet in the public domain? Or is it wishful thinking...? Best Scott.
  10. Steward's enquiry! The goal posts have been moved! I shall get some cardboard and write a stiff letter to my MP...
  11. I am follower number 100, and I claim my £5!!! (or whatever the prize may be...) Best Scott
  12. I asked Rails a couple of weeks ago and they said no. I placed my order with nscaleamericantrains.co.uk instead. Best Scott.
  13. I understand, thanks for the response.. It was more about the scenes that appeared to be possible with that kind of shelf, but I get where your coming from and what it is you're trying to achieve better now. Sorry for the diversion. Best Scott.
  14. Have you seen this excellent thread? IT might be of inspiration, if not:
  15. Terrific modelling, in any scale, and truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing in such detail. Best Scott.
  16. I managed to take my father to the 2022 show, his first Warley visit at the ripe young age of 74, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He was a bit like a kid in a sweetie shop and the whole weekend was a joy; so much so we had planned to attend together the following year. Unfortunately he succumbed to a long running illness at the start of November 2023 and we lost him. One of my most loving memories will be of taking him to the show and enjoying all there was to see. Thank you to everyone involved for giving so many of us such a spectacle and such lovely memories. Best wishes to everyone at the club and in connection with the event. Scott.
  17. Ah my mistake. Still getting used to this being 2024! Best Scott.
  18. Hello @gusrus Did you progress with this project at all? I am seriously considering DCC++EX for control of my N gauge layout and would be interested in your experiences. Best Scott.
  19. Now, this is an interesting one. A royal saloon in amongst blue and grey stock, albeit with the requisite shiny motive power, through Princes Street Gardens:
  20. Tell me you're at Kittybrewster without telling me you're at Kittybrewster...
