Yes it's slow - and there are 2 red banner messages at the top of the page announcing there are 'issues'.
-
Perhaps a small branch (piece of shrubbery) blown on to the permanent way during recent storms?
-
I'm sorry to say I don't think this shot can be replicated - The engine shed has two doors! Apart from that LM has this beat with horse drawn wagon and a dodgy salesman with bicycle.
-
Very nicely weathered
-
501 now, just 499 to go. Gotta get the post count up - the only thing that does move fast in LM.
-
Do I notice a bit of 'lamp leaning' on the front too? I think the fireman has imbibed a little too much festive cheer these past few days.
-
From this angle it looks like the shrubbery has grown onto the back of the lorry - it's been there that long! Sorry for interrupting the tie-bar modelling and potato watching storylines...
-
You know what this means - time to get another Railcar!
-
The porter looks most impressed at your handiwork - as am I
-
It might 'tick' all the boxes - but can it help 'unload' or even 'open' one
-
I think LM is quite safe: 1. WW2 hasn't happened yet so no air raid shelters. 2. PC Plod is talking to the shop owners to find out if sugar has been sold to the local kids. 3. There's no buses on/under bridges the gunpowder vans might pass under/over
-
The main thing that jumps out at me from the old S-on-S pics and the real LM pics - is that S-on-S has two fitted loco shed doors!
-
I was thinking a Ship Chandler, being it's next to the harbour. But it will interesting to hear what KNP has in mind - unless there's enough local trade to support two pubs...
-
So what's going to happen to "The Station" public house once the 'Unicorn' opens for business?
-
Who nicked the wheels and left it on blocks by the goods shed?. Perhaps LM's venerable PC should stop chatting to the shopkeeper and go find the culprits!
-
I'm looking for the fox but I don't see it.....
-
If it's a new one then could that large crate on the lorry (at the Dairy) have any connection? 1. The reason everyone is still conversing is they weren't expecting it there - wrong delivery address?... 2. If it is a new door then it's been delivered in kit form....
-
Did you deliberately line up the telegraph pole with the chimney? A masterly touch
-
Pictures are OK this end too.
-
The attention to detail on those two shops is amazing. Taking that much trouble for something at the front of/in a prominent position on a layout I can understand, but for buildings 'tucked away at the back' (and sideways) it's even more admirable... Jolly good show!
-
KNP, do you have a Siphon in your growing (and excellently weathered) collection of rolling stock? Regarding the crate on the lorry, could it contain milk churns, and the collective wisdom of the assembled crowd be debating whether it's worth unloading?
-
Seeing the empty Dairy siding, brings a question to my mind - Would Siphon G's (or similar) still be used for deliveries of milk churns in this time frame? Rgds Steve J
-
no RN required - not when you have the Squadron Leader from the EAF flying in support - that's the Encombe Air Force - not to be trifled with...
-
Yes, but... Because the detail is so good I look at all the little details which brings me to the Harbour Master building roof - and the missing guttering! - so it's not just cameras that go off.
-
Empty coal wagons delivered to the yard by 8701 - am I missing something? (or just the wagons) I've been looking for period pictures of ship fenders, rope or otherwise, but not found anything suitable yet... my search-fu is failing me.
