Wonderful coaches. It must be very challenging to do dark lining on a light base - very unforgiving.

I was thinking the same. I can imagine it's a pleasant exercise until it all has to be written up!

Here's one of the best photos I know of GWR corduroy. And some familar stock. This is alledgedly 1905. But no 3-plankers in that shot, so here is one to compensate.

Impeccable taste!

Maybe one door was painted in GWR days and the other under BR! For Little Muddle you'll want something neater I think.

Good grief, that is outrageously good. I looked and looked to see if it was real or not. In the end only the shoe not firmly on the ground gave the game away. Incidentally Kevin, here's a proposed paint scheme for your famous shed doors 🙂 https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/165383-western-times/?do=findComment&comment=5487517

I agree. In fact I am not sure that you need a forced perspective at all. Will the sloping parts not give you trouble when viewing (and taking pictures) along the platforms?

That mis-diagnonsis must have caused you a lot of stress. Good thing you got it sorted, best wishes for the further recovery. In that context, two huts and a weighbridge in two weeks seems pretty good. In fact it's good progress in any context! (BTW, the "like" buttons seem to be disabled/missing in this blog, in case you don't know).

I like the shed doors on the front cover. Not mentioned in any BR livery instructions I think :-)

Thanks Andy, though I really should add lighting (gas piping etc) ! The darkness inside has led to numerous unfortuante incidents on late night trains at Farthing. For example, there was that situation with the parrot, the vicar and the butcher's wife... Here's how it should be done, Steve's lovely build: http://www.gwr.org.uk/prot36.html

Interesting photo in Andy's thread, here: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/163683-helston-revisited/?do=findComment&comment=5487694

What a lovely photo. And a rare good shot of a round-ended 3- planker with lefthand GWR!

Hi Matt, very pleasing to see an old kit like that coming to life. The aluminimum look is almost arty. I'm sometimes tempted to pick up one of the old wooden wagon/van kits that come up on ebay etc sometimes. Just to see what they're like. I doubt they can match this though!

What a great finish, all the modified parts are completely integrated with the original body. I'm impressed with "Croesnewydd", very neatly arranged, not easy when you're adding each letter individually. I enjoy it though, there's something satisfying about making up the words letter by letter.

Interesting. Turns out that Sam is a hands-on person.
