MrWolf Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Shipston on Stour had quite a big cattle dock on the goods line, just forward of the loco shed. That is if you want an excuse for one? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but something had to give when I truncated the layout so it could fit into the room and still get a decent curve out over the viaduct..... 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lifting flap across the doorway, move your workspace into the dining room, join it all up as a continuous circuit. The King really would have somewhere to go, then, over and over and over and over again . . . . . . . 1 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted March 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Now, here is my attempt at a picture we have, no doubt, taken when riding on a coach behind a steam train. We either hang out as far as we can or stick the camera out the window to get that picture of the loco. Not quite right as I feel after taking this picture I would have had to have very long arms to get this far out, plus that telegraph pole is getting closer.....!!!!! I tried some steam as well but not a fan but here it is anyway, someone might like it..... More experiments will follow....

Try chopping up a spare coach and mount the camara on the edge of the body by inserting it into the coach side.... that might get the desired effect as the coach side will be touching the lens.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Bachmann's version but repainted. Still awaiting brass number plate and I have been assured it is still on order and in the system.

A good paint job makes good plastic locos look less plastic. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted March 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I thought, that last picture of the Earl was over 2mths old so I have just been up to the layout and taken a couple of fresh ones. As of 10mins ago. Extra weathering added especially to the motion, fire irons added (Bachmann and came with loco as accessories, I have to say they are some of the best ones I have seen - need them to sell them separately and I would buy a load...)

KNP Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I did buy a paint pen that you could put your own colour paint in a few months ago with a few to paint these sides (and touch up damaged areas) but not got around to it yet.

Popular Post KNP Posted March 28, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) The Old Pub update. No, I've not abandoned it rather got to a slower stages, namely roof tiles and painting them. To bring you up to speed I can confirm that the name of the pub will be..... .... .... .... The Unicorn Now, this pub will pre-date the railway and some of the harbour wall works as well so it would have stood almost on its own and buildings/town grew around it. Design plans have changed as ideas where developed and you can see some on the pictures below. Garage now slate tile Store now a wriggly tin roof Fill in store changed to an open wood store. The plan for the pub itself is that it will have rendered walls, thatched roof with a brick/stone (not sure yet) pub façade. Side extension will be brick with a plain tile roof as if a newer addition. Shop, work in progress, but I expect I will get to that part and sit back and let the old memory box visualise various options in the minds eye. So as of last night this where we are at. Pictures are a bit darker than I was hoping for when I brought the model down into the dining room as it is rather a dull day... Decision made on the garage door , which now the building is glued to the base I can get on with. It will be a triple door with the RH door a hinge occupation door that will be the main entrance with a other two a pair of sliding, folding doors that push back to allow a vehicle in. Please note the suggested inspection pit has been included by just scribing the card base and painting with Lifecolor wood.
