RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2019 There were two senior railwaymen called Eccles in my time, they were brothers. One went on to be a TOC MD, I think, while the other was my last boss. Although a few years younger than me, I believe he is sadly now deceased. He had had an interesting career, including managing a Transmark project, resignalling in New York of all places. I have seen an official photograph of him shaking hands with Mrs Elizabeth Dole, then US SoS for Transportation, and wife of Bob Dole, who was Republican leader of the Senate at one time. He maintained links with the Doles into the present century. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, someone has either attached a camera to his balsa wood glider or has climbed a tree in the style of Ben Ashworth: It’s been a while since i last caught up on this thread, but the progress looks awesome. What a lovely little layout this has turned in to, full of atmosphere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Captain Kernow Posted January 1, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2020 I've now replaced the backscene, so the layout is once again viewed from the normal viewing side. A little bit more scenic work was done yesterday as well: Farmer Thomas's Landrover wheezes up the lane leading to the overbridge. Further scenic development will take place here, with trees at the rear of the bridge parapets and down the bank at the rear, further masking the 'join' between the scenery and the backscene. 24 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 5, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2020 I should mention, because I forgot in my earlier post, that the trees were originally very kind and unsolicited gifts from John Farmer (Re6/6). John is one of the best tree makers around, having followed the methods employed by Gordon Gravett and his scenic work has been published in BRM and elsewhere. Because we weren't sure at the time of the required depth for these half-relief trees, I have since trimmed most of the armatures and removed some of the original foliage and also applied new foliage of a slightly darker hue over the top, in order to better match the existing colours on the layout. This afternoon I started making some patches of thorns and scrub, from teased out postiche (theatrical hair packaged up for modellers), sprayed with hair spray and different colours of foliage sprinkled on, and then all sealed up with a further spray from the hair product. 6 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
