I was going to make some awhile back but then Scalemodelscenery came out with some nice ones so here they are....eventually Just used half of them for now Think I might added a paving slab to in the grass by the last one as it looks wrong at present. (also need to sort the cobweb out be the telegraph pole!) The posters come with the kit, very smart - normal disclosure - just a very satisfied customer.

MrWolf Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Seeing as my layout is set near the GW/LNW joint line, I have used that as an excuse to have wagons from the LMS and its constituents. Many wagons are good, more must be better. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I suggest that the sign be made freestanding as signs that àre fixed to private properties, as this appears to be, would have have to pay a fee to the property owner. Unless of course the house belonged to the signs owner. 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always told by a good mate of mine that you can NEVER have to many Wagons, Mind you he said the same about Locos and extra Sidings as well. 1 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Oldddudders Posted October 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2020 Two things, neither of which will be met with universal approval, I'm sure. The shed door being still out of place gives every reason for leaving that splendid crane alongside. The re-location project is a work in progress, and so can be a sort of timeless cameo. Wagons. I model Southern in the South West, and as you have lots of lovely GW wagons, so I have a great preponderance of SR wagons. It was never so. The whole point of a wagon was to move something from here to there. Thus we should all have a much greater percentage of "foreign" vehicles, representing the import of goods to our area from other parts of the country. I need, and suggest Little Muddle does, a much bigger presence from other members of the Big Four, or at least from the LMS and LNER, as SR didn't have as great an "export" business. Learned folk on here will tell us a percentage by Company, but even a few more of each would add credibility. Just a couple of thoughts. 9 8 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cameo scene with the shed door will remain, every now and then you might see a train whizz past with a similar looking crane in tow on the main line.....! Regarding the wagons, totally agree and this is being addressed with hopefully some arriving for Christmas and I might just order some beforehand as I thoroughly enjoyed making these kits. 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Olddudders. That was precisely my excuse for obtaining a bunch of LMS and a few LNER wagons. But you have laid out the argument in such an erudite and convincing manner, I think I will have to copy it down as a defence against any negative comments that the domestic authorities may have on the subject of too many wagons. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The percentages were written up once, possibly by David Jenkinson or Don Rowland, but in my decrepitude I can't remember where or when. Plenty more useless information available on request.

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted October 25, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2020 One possible damp squib on the notices front, would that many have been in colour in the period modelled, as a kid most notices seemed to be black and white as they were produced on spirit printers, or just typed up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted October 26, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Had to retake a series of pictures because I had the 'ghosting' back again, wrong setting on camera as it was on P and not A so had to start again.... 2251 backed up for coaling, removed the tracked crane and timber so the camera could sit there and get this different angle. Crane removed as it is on the other side of the layout for that earlier group picture....! Edited March 26 by KNP 29 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted October 27, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Lobster pots built. First pass at colour but I think they need to be whiter as the pictures show very light grey shade when left in the sun. As as we know it never rains in LM. Looks like I could do with some more as 12 doesn’t go far.... Edited October 27, 2020 by KNP 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted October 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2020 I think that white might be a bit too stark, Kevin. How about a creamy grey dry-brushing? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great photos but those gentlemen do not fill me with much confidence that that door will be back in place anytime soon. Their bearing just oozes the tempo of Little Muddle. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
