The pictures I took a couple of years ago at Paignton show what looks like hundreds of them. Your pictures indicate the rope colours I was on about along with pot identification bands..

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted October 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2020 So much better than the resin pots. Could I suggest a few strands of scale seaweed. I bet Noch don’t make that! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can get away with a limited number but aside from seaweed some loose ropes might be needed (although probably not blue as below): (Sizewell beach, Suffolk last week).

KNP Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 My plan is add plenty of ropes of all types and sizes, floats, flags, buckets, rubbish, junk and anything else I can think of. I want to make the area look a mess!! 7 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Fishing floats back then we're either cylindrical pieces of cork about 6" long and 6" diameter, strung onto rope or green glass spheres about 5" in diameter with the rope weaved around to protect them. I would think that 2mm glass beads would do? 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I remember fish boxes like this being piled up on quaysides well into the 1980s, you should be able to scale it from the lobster pot. 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make the area look a mess!! Those new pots are so much better than the resin examples. A bit more rust, some scraps of wilted seaweed, ropes and very small beads to represent floats will make them extra realistic. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for posting this photo Mr Wolf. I was painting some N gauge fish boxes yesterday and was really struggling with the colour so I’ll have another go later. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. By coincidence this is being discussed in a thread on "Foreign" wagons under the pre-grouping section in Special Interests at the moment. A little early for Big Four era but the proportions would remain about the same, plus that the wagon lettering didn't change overnight of course. May or may not be useful.

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted October 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2020 I’m impressed with the compost frames, I’ve never seen that modelled before. Charles Dowding ( of no-dig gardening fame) would thoroughly approve! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted October 29, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 For those of you interested, here is a seldom modelled item - a compost heap with three sided bin... This was made 10 odd years ago on a separate module that follows the fence line so I could work on it on the bench. Has been titivated a few times over the years.... 20 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the benefits of remote uncoupling but to me they look just as bad as tension locks! For some time now I have been using the Bachmann DMU style couplings which I find are less obtrusive and by using the Brian Kirby method (as applied by him to tension locks) you can have auto uncoupling although you can't reposition stock without it recoupling. I use a shunters pole with a magnet on the end if needed but find that 90% of the time the permanent magnets are in the right place. Apologise for the poor photos my box brownie is a bit ancient! Keep up the excellent work please Kevin. Roger 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted October 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Every now and then you take a picture that looks and feels right. The next one falls into that category, as soon as I saw it in the viewfinder it looked right. Here are two versions, colour and monochrome, for you to decide which looks best. I have my favourite and it is already my desktop picture on the computer. Edited March 26 by KNP 28 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted October 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2020 Really keen on all these new angles, Kevin. A benefit of keeping the buildings removable, I suppose. I like the way you keep all your verticals vertical, by the way. I don't feel dizzy when I'm looking for faults features....... 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
