Sadly the figures got knocked over so are in a slightly different position now. And a closer crop, but I prefer the wider one as it captures the old gate and poster. (I have also now invested in a pot of tacky wax.) That first picture with the water piping fence and collapsing gate instantly remind me of the first photos I ever saw of Tetbury. If I was shown that picture in isolation, my guess would be Tetbury, it needs nothing else. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham T Posted May 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2021 The uncropped looks better I think. That embankment has a real sense of distance to it. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted May 10, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2021 I thought I'd give the green 64xx a run over the weekend, and grabbed a few snaps of it working a two coach train into Tetbury. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted May 22, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Just in case people are fed up with the photos, I put together a quick video showing how the trees for Tetbury were assembled. The trees are intended for the Carterton project but use a slightly improved Tetbury technique. Edited May 22, 2021 by Chris Chewter 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
