but the strange meteorological event in the sky rather detracts from it. smile.gif

You've done a nice job removing it Martin.  I'm sure I'll be able to do similar with Affinity Photo when I finally manage to set aside some time to learn how.  

 

Nice to know you're still watching - value your views & opinions, and your support.

 

Cheers,

John.

5000 Launceston Castle emerges from the tunnel with a down express and heads through Stoke Courtenay station.

As I'm now self-isolating like on old Peco point there will probably be more posts from me on here over the coming days.  Unless I do something really radical, like some actual modelling.

I never tire of those tunnel shots John. Although I have slightly less width to play with, I'll be trying to replicate your ground profiles at Tremewan Tunnel.

Oh I do like a Grange but I don't think I've ever run one on a freight......

You will Robin, you will ….. !

 

There's a good pic of 6801 on a freight at Aller Jcn in the Norman Lockett book, assisted in the rear by a large prairie as it starts the climb to Dainton.  Interesting and varied mix of wagons too.

Three more of the Grange-hauled freight.  Must neaten up those tarps and make them look a bit more secure.

Do not want to sound critical - this is more out of concern.  But does the yard crane have a lean on it?

Vol 1, GWR in the 1930s, Fraser, Geen and Scott, illustration 73 (there are no page numbers!) is of Kingstone Grange, 6820, on coal empties when only a few months old. Lovely pic too. (Also posted in Stoke Courtney)

It's across pages 48/49. 

 

Found it and there appears to be a tank wagon, could be Esso, in the wagon rake too.
