Maybe she's saying ' o isn't she beautiful Zebadiah, just like those pictures you showed me. Please say you'll let me drive it, you did promise, whilst he's saying " well I don't know my dear maybe but she is a beauty isn't she!" Just another day in LM.

Can you post a first rendition pic from a few years ago, and the current pic in one post as a direct comparison on how the whole area has changed over a few short years please Kevin?

That’s a good idea I will see what I’ve got when the computer is on.

Computer on and I've done some trolling back through some 5000 odds photo's I've taken since this layout started in 2008.

Since I started posting on here in 2017 not only have my photo technique improved so has the number of pictures taken has seemed to take off as well.

 

So this what I have found.

 

28 - 02 - 2010

Station building just finished and the corner site building in place - no Goods Shed yet.

28 - 08 - 2011

Originally the corner site building was stone paper but I wasn't a fan from the moment I finished it but decided to park and get on with the rest of the layout first

19 - 10 - 2011

Just to show the original harbour wall line and even back then I made card mock ups to see how a proposed building fitted - and that changed!

24 - 04 - 2013

Fed up with stone effect paper so I painted it with my own version of masonry paint - talcum powder sprinkled on wet paint then over painted again.

New entrance porch added and cladding to first floor jut out fitted, path laid to door

14 - 03 - 2017

Just prior to the mass of building works starting  - Cathcott Field was a name coined by Stubby47 and I liked it so it stayed.

16 - 06 -2021

And the whole area taken a few moments ago

Wow, I knew it had changed a lot but until I bothered to look back through the pictures wasn't aware how much it had changed.

I like it so it will be staying......well perhaps....might change the - but that's for another post!!!!

 

So thanks to Andrew P for suggesting this trip down memory lane.

Thanks Kevin.

Wonderful, and thought provoking at the same time, brilliant, cheers for all that.

I really like the way the pub sits in the scene. The before and after pictures are great. It is funny how there were concerns about putting houses behind the station. I could not imagine anyone saying lets remove the building an have a field instead now.

What I feel as well is that the station now feel likes it’s part of the town as well.

I rather like the open nature of the original setup. Just a few buildings to support the idea of "Little" Muddle. Maybe you should remove the building and have a field instead.

 

:jester:

 

 There's always one............................... ;)

Wagons roll....yeeha

 

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rawhide

 

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them wagons rollin', rawhide
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
