The words sitting and duck come to mind. I do like that bridge, there's been a few times that I have seen one of those Tri-ang relics on eBay and considered it's potential. But then I would have to start another layout, which may result in my early demise... 3 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This something that I have suffered with and found two answers, not always successful but sometimes - pull the camera further away and then crop the picture or use the A (aperture) setting with the largest F stop you have, might need extra lighting for this or a bit of tweaking on Affinity with light settings. Where did you get the plough from? Thanks Kevin I will try your recommendations. Plough is a Springside kit, FM9 if I remember. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishplate Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Very nice @KNP. I also REALLY like the texture and colour on the vertical timbers to the front of the loco. John 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Is it one of those fancy new chain pubs where they expect you to buy food? A pub where toddlers run around screaming whilst their mothers make internet posts about how they can't cope with them and how they cost on their £700 I-phone? Or is it full of hikers with man bun hair who prattle on about climate change and their new electric BMW? If not, I'll happily pay an extra tanner for a pint. 1 3 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I was thinking more along the lines of pork scratchings and pickled eggs to be honest. Oh and mustn't forget the sawdust on the floor. Does that suit? 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and mustn't forget the sawdust on the floor. Does that suit? Possibly, although that may attract the hikers, or worse still, folk singers... It's tricky avoiding pubs that are very local, sticky tiled floors, fluorescent strip lights, jack Russell's and the smell of urine, though that may be the elderly owners who say: "You can't sit there, that's Fred's chair" Who's Fred? "E's bin dead twenty years, but he always sat there..." 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted June 26, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 Now there’s a sight you don’t often see on LM No not just three loco’s but three working loco’s that got there under their own steam..! That Lima one (on the left) tank sides sure are high compared to the Bachmann one, knew it was wrong but nevertheless they won’t been seen together very often. Pep pipe I think I will add, crew ordered and need to sort the side number plate now. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
