RMweb Gold checkrail Posted January 9, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2019 Do you mind me asking who makes those figures The figures are from Monty's Models (Dart Castings). Loco crew figures are by Modelu. John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted January 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) A lovely time with John yesterday; the layout is quite superb. It's evident from all of John's pictures that he's a remarkably tidy and exact modeller and everything looked 'just right'. Every aspect has room to breathe and there are some wonderful viewpoints as we know. Anyway, the pictures will do the talking in due course! Feature_3s.jpg That car gets everywhere, eh Robin?

Anglian Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I have to admit that I come back for another look on an almost daily basis – I like this layout so much and especially that sense of wide open spaces. Given that it's not an enormous layout I think that has taken some skill in judgement. The goods yards in particular is wonderfully uncluttered.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted February 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2019 When I say next month, I should say that I mean the issue that is released next month (ie April) not March that was released last week) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold checkrail Posted February 23, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2019 Yep, Stoke Courtenay will be in BRM April issue, out 28 March (or a few days earlier for subscribers if 'Spring' edition which arrived today is anything to go by). I'm delighted with Andy Y's photos, but even more so with the video he did of the layout, which will be on the DVD for subscribers. I'll say nothing of the footage of yours truly doing the talking-head-to-camera bit, but the views of the trains in motion are pretty damn' good, and had me thinking, 'Crikey, did I really build that?' As for my own rather more pedestrian photos I've been waiting until I had something new to show you. Things weren't helped by searching frantically for my camera for a fortnight until I found it - attached to the tripod and tucked away behind the layout under the purlins. But it's nice to know there's still some interest out there and I'll get on the case and post some stuff during the next few days.

RMweb Gold Popular Post checkrail Posted February 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 Ok, especially for Limpley Stoker, here are some with no trains! I remember reading in RM back in the 60s that the true test of authenticity was if you could recognise the railway company from layout views with no trains. Probably dear old CJF. Well, it's easy for the GWR given its distinctive way of doing things, and even easier given what the trade can supply these days. And a layout with no trains is always better than a pub with no beer. John C. 24 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post checkrail Posted February 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 And here are some of freight trains, first up being a short branch goods heading out of Stoke Courtenay for Earlsbridge. (First pics I've posted on new improved RMweb, and must confess I'm a bit baffled. I select two pics of about 1.5 to 2.5 mb each, but when I try to add a third I get told 'Computer say no, max size 10 mb'. It must use a different arithmetic to the one I was taught. Back to the FAQs I guess.) John C. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold checkrail Posted February 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2019 So I try to attach the next two photos to a completely new post, but I click on one and up comes the little box telling me I can only add 10 mb. But I haven't added anything at all yet! utterly baffled now. John C. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post checkrail Posted February 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 Let's try again to show you the next two pics of 4574 on the branch goods. Ah, that's better - worked ok that time, but kept it to two because one of them seems to be 6.2 mb. John C. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold checkrail Posted February 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2019 Might be getting the hang of this now. It seems that before I try to send more pics attached to a new post I have to go out of my thread and back to followed topics, then come back in again. Just two here again, as one has come out at 7 mb, though the other is only 1.9 mb. Might have to revert to the bad old days of compressing these jpeg files before posting them. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold checkrail Posted February 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2019 Not quite there yet with this attachment malarkey. I'd worked out how to select position for photo using cursor, but it seems that unless I've already written some text below where I want the picture, I can't then add any text below it afterwards (though it will let me add another picture (file size permitting). Anyway, let's continue. Ah, this time it's let me. Perhaps I've done something right?! Don't know what's under that LMS tarp, but it sure looks big.
