  1. There is also the point that everyone pretty much sees colours differently anyway, at least to some degree.
  2. The backscene certainly helps set the scene with the mid Cornwall vibe.
  3. It is just that the headcode is obviously a class 1 train and from London...
  4. Was 1C07 not some sort of postal or parcels working at the time? Could be wrong there of course.....
  5. On the NLS map the longer one appears to be about 330 feet.

    https://gelligaerhistoricalsociety.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/NEwsletter67-January2023.pdf on page 7 of the PDF linked above is a Francis Frith picture of the whole area.

    Most interesting. My paternal grandparents were married at Aberbargoed, though they did not live there (her family did at the time). They may even have got off the train at that station at some point !
  8. Having had a look at it in zoomed in on big screen I am going to suggest that it is pretty immediately post war, say up to about 1946/47. That is nothing to do with trains or cars or rationing or whatever, it is just that the overall look of the people says late 40s to me - It is certainly not the early 30s, if that is the other likely option.
  9. Think of it as my vote in a Lifetime Achievement Award.... All the way back to Rotherbrook in N :)
  10. I like the planning and detail you have shown, it all helps to capture the feeling of the area. Kyle is not a place I know a lot about but ever since seeing Pete Matcham's rather iconic version of the place in 2FS I have thought it an ideal prototype to use as the starting point to base a very small layout on.
  11. I like that picture, and the story of the dartboards. My mate had a HA van that was pretty much the same colour as the Renault 4 in the picture, at least on the outside - and the same colour as the nearby road sign on the inside. I assume it had been a BT van at some point.
  12. One suspects that the two points here may be connected 😉
  13. That work is actually just a badly drawn Spaniel. Check it out and you will never unsee it now ;)
  14. I wasn't in the slightest surprised, I was just reporting something as good news, rather than the more frequent negativity mentioned in this thread.
  15. on a brighter note, I called in at Rails today and they are reporting record levels of orders this week,.....
