Interested in the local nature of the roofing material. I would have assumed that Warnham brickworks might have been the source of tiles, but evidently not. Warnham last shipped by rail in the early 1970s.

A splendid representation of this iconic bridge, so emblematic of the Padstow line. I think I cycled over it in 1997, but my last train ride across it was 1965, sadly.
Might the cylindrical elements be called caissons? A chap who used to be on RMweb, Torr Giffard, was building a comparable 4mm structure from metal and I think that was the term he used. He left abruptly following the loss of his wife, but his thread may still be extant. Ah, yes.

Pete - you will do a lot better for responses by posting your query in the open forums, rather than in your blog, which is not seen by so many.
Try posting it as a new topic here.

Full marks for the description. Can the Micro SD card be replaced by something with more storage - they go up to at least 32GB? Mind you, that would take some filming/filling.

A technology whose time has come. Those look superb.

The 'nana vans are Dia 1478 under order A812 of 27/3/34. Built at Ashford 8-12/1935 and fitted with steam heating.

Delightful. And there is something about a diesel parcels car that its passenger sisters lack - a sort of secretive purposefulness, perhaps, as we can't see the contents. Loads of atmosphere here.

I'm sure if you promise to do all the cooking and kitchen chores in future, any issues of the modelling clutter will simply fade away!

The vessel looks delightful! Full of folk having a good day out, too.
I hope you enjoy your Bluebell experience as much as I did in May. They really have got things pretty much as we might wish, and the link to the national network is icing on everyone's cake, I think.

Utterly charming - captures the true and appealing essence of rural railways.

Gosh, the last pic took my breath away. I am glad modern Germany can face up to the hideous past, when brushing it under the carpet would be so easy. TVM for posting, Dom!

I do hope Revd. Cope doesn't see the church picture!

In the days before Chris's pics, there used to be a sizeable - by UK standards! - grain elevator or similar building in the background, demolished in the '80s, I think. A low-relief version might meet Jerry's idea of a backscene?
-
A very fine layout, Pete, so well done. Great to see a result like this after all your hard work - and the comments above show what other finescale modellers think, too.

Most of us would struggle to do as well in 4mm - this is 2mm, so don't be hard on yourself. It will all be alright on the night!

Crikey! What a nice surprise - a delightful blast from our past! Yes, anything about the AVR would be of interest - one of the influential models of its era, surely. Oh, and, at 84, you are a bit of a leveller to those of us convinced we are old in our 60s!
-
If I can make my 4mm juice rail look that good, I'll be delighted - and yours is 2mm!

In my day I think they were just E40. With E10, E50 and the new E03, they were the modern face of the DB. Just a few years ago, of course!

Looks great - and full marks for imaginative use of materials. In my experience, it's generally better if the seat has a hole in it.....

If the Southern green apes Birch Grove as currently painted, then it represents the SR in the '20s, rather as the umber will be post-1905 LBSCR. There is then a gap until early-BR. The GE Division had a very pretty little blue pilot at Liv St into the '60s, too, so there are precedents elsewhere for a heritage paint-scheme. E4s regularly worked across the marshes to Ashford, so the loco is right for the locale, but only you can decide which livery will be most pleasing.
-
There comes a point when it is the only sensible decision. Really hope it all works out for you and the family.
Good luck!

Like the "Commandement" Picasso! I never cease to be amazed by people's achievements in N gauge, given my performance in HO/OO/On30! This is a fine collection.

Lovely stuff but, while I know older houses had poor insulation, should there still be a smidgen of snow on the cottage rooves somewhere?
-
Not my favourite class of loco - but this looks like a very fine model. The smokebox rivets add something, certainly.

If it's any consolation, half-relief oaks do exist in real life, and can be very healthy. I have two on the north boundary of the garden, and every Autumn the farmer gets his contractor to cut away the growth on his side from that year, as he is entitled to do. The rich foliage in summer, and the large number of acorns, indicate the trees are unconcerned.
