GeoffinOz Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 nit picking, does the track and some spare rail cover the two railway items, you really need the relay boxes or the half wagon I think. apart from that it is the best one I have seen so far, some are to realistic for me.

puck Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Could possibly add a shunt signal suggesting exit from siding back to main line? Excellent modelling as always. Regards Puck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I could claim that the rail and sleepers are two separate items , then of course there is the ballast to consider ............... I do get your point though so I will see what I can do .

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted December 6, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2017 My kind of modelling. Love it! Hope you find a suitable cherry to put on top. That would make it really delicious.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Very effective and understated, glad you have removed the 'half tank' as it seemed to distract the eye from the model itself. I agree with Stubby47 some electric cables fixed to the Armco barrier and/or rely boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
col_kilgore Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well it would seem that following major investment the rail infrastructure serving the cake works is in the process of being upgraded ! Nipped out to Ilkeston today to visit the model shop , came back with some relay boxes and some trunking. I chose the Bachmann boxes after deciding the Wills kit ones looked too big ( to my eye anyway ) plus they are ready painted. I also found that I had to sand quite a bit off the depth of the Wills trunking for to sit right . Looking at it I think once ballasted I could have got away with using the same card I used for the slabs to represent the lids of the trunking. Anyway just need to add a bit of grass back on and I think it will be finished. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffinOz Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) That looks better, I like the man with the spade admiring his (your) work. I think this is a winner Edited December 8, 2017 by GeoffinOz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 It'll be jam in the tanks, so it won't go anywhere if there's a leak.......... .....it'll be jammed in. It could even be wooden 'pips' for the strawberry jam.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
col_kilgore Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) It could even be wooden 'pips' for the strawberry jam.... I had that in mind while making this one as I remembered reading about this in connection with somewhere in Derby , just done a google search and discovered it was an article in the Fortean Times about this being an " urban myth " . There was a guy who claimed he had a saturday job when he was a lad here in Derby putting wooden pips in jam !

Crisis Rail Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Turned out well - this was (is) excellent - multiple likes! Subtle pastle shades and perfect weathering. Why could it not be expanded or used as a concept for a new layout? Ian Edited March 2, 2019 by Crisis Rail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
