Brighthelmstone Loco Works - Inspired by Brighton 1870's

"Oh Sam Gary, what a little beauty!"



The lining really lifts the loco, and makes it look complete. It would be lovely to have a go at a focus-stacked image of loco and train on Oak Hill before "the end of days".

Can't help thinking that the Health & Safety Executive would have kittens at that open-backed footplate though! No handrail or anything!

Oh yes photos on Oak Hill are a must, but first I must add the final details to the carriages! (the glue on the windows is drying as I type)

 

The lining really does add a whole new level to it, just a shame there is no evidence is was lined as such, but also no evidence it wasn't! and post rebuild it managed to get fully lined IEG despite being only a shunter, so I feel happy giving it Craven's best!

 

As for the back, I can't see any evidence for a handrail there on the drawings I have, so left it off, but did wonder about it, still it's the 1860's who needs Heath and Safety!

That looks fabulous! Would you mind if I shared these pictures with the Brighton Circle FB page please? I’m sure members would be really interested to see it.

 

Cheers

Hi Chris,

 

Thanks for saying so, I hadn't even thought about sticking them on the Brighton Circle Facebook Group. I shall stick them up there as I am also a member.

 

Cheers,
