Love the feeling of distance and the mist.....

Looking down from the Mills Lane Bridge this morning and things seem fairly quiet so far. The 37 and 47 are both switched off, with only the 08, No 08173 messing about.

Andy,

A quick question if you dont mind, how big is Seven Mills - in terms of baseboards?

Thanks Andy, 

I'd gone back probably 70 odd pages and couldn't find that!  Maybe I need a trip to Specsavers!!!

Pictured in glorious Spring Sunshine is 08 No, 08740 and a Squid in Seven Mills Sidings.

I made a start on the River Axe on Bench Road this morning.

How it looked before.

 

 

Firstly removing some stones / Rocks and then re painting the River Bed. 

Finally a coat of PVA and this is how it looks now representation a shallow fast flowing River.

Excellent video Andy. I have to say the sound on that 'Dutch' 33 is mighty impressive particularly the slow speed flange squeal!

I must say, Andy, that SMS is a really interesting and inspiring layout - and that's from an S7 pre grouping modeller. Your scenic work is excellent and a source of ideas for me and the realism you achieve I think is admirable. I find that if I start to lose my mojo at times, a visit to SMS can often kick start it. Well done and thank you, keep it up.

Thanks Paul, I have that function turned on all the time and so any movement produces the sound which it very realistic I feel.

Thanks Dave for such kind words, I get times when I go off the boil, and then have a serious look at my Loco Fleet and the Mojo soon returns.

A nice pair of Choppers sitting in Seven Mills Sidings.

20156 in Railfreight and 20142 awaiting its replacement cab side numbers.

 

EDIT= To say that the Cab Side Numbers were fitted several weeks ago, and this is quite an old photo.

Great picture of the choppers and loved the video.

Great stuff Andy. It has become something of a ritual in this household for Saturday mornings! Get up, make coffee then watch your weekly video - what a  great start to the weekend

That sounds good, next weeks one is about half done, so I'll finish that off after the weekend. Again it involves doing some scenic work, but enough said for now.

08, No 08740 leaves a siding to actually do some work, on a glorious sunny Sunday morning.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Andy, just caught up on Fridays video while having a lie in bed with a cup of tea.  Very good. I must agree, the sound on the 33 is great.

Cheers, Ade.
