richard.h Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 While the 0-6-0 sorts out the wagons I try to learn how to sort out the photos with this new system. So hopefully the next photo will be below this caption. OK so far I'm getting used to it now. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.h Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Now the wagons have been sorted the J15 calls in to collect the empty coal stock And then heads out with the stock. On the subject of marshaling can someone tell me if there is a lamp code for an engine working solely within the confines of the Station and Yard. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.h Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I recently came across this Laser Cut kit of a Woodmans cottage which seemed an ideal addition to fill a spare space on the layout, so it was duly built and weathered. In order to create a little cameo scene I then sorted out a couple of suitable tree armatures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.h Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 The footprint of the cottage was then scraped out of the grass so that it bedded in properly in the field. The Tree Armatures were then trimmed to fit the site and built up by gluing seafoam sprigs to the ends of the branches followed by a spray of light brown colour. When dry they were sprinkled with layers of blended turf held in place by firmhold hair lacquer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.h Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Finally further work was done by adding extra vegetation to the cottage and the field to try and create a more natural appearance, 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard.h Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Time is a little flexible at Byford (it has to be to give me an excuse to run a wide variety of stock). So today we have gone back to the early fifties to see the ex GNR Atlantic arriving. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I got the idea for making the trees from the Little Muddle site (superb work) as its the best method that iv'e come across. Its a little fiddly but you can make very realistic trees fairly quickly and i'm getting a bit past spending hours making trees from twisted wire anymore.

richard.h Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 A couple of different photos this time from a new perspective and all featuring Duchess The City of Liverpool. The first uses the road bridge as a frame to view the station, brave or foolhardy photographer 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.h Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 And the next two are taken from on the road bridge looking down on the station. These seem to work quite well but could do with the background elements tidying up to cover up the exposed wood framing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.h Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 I really liked the recently introduced carflats so I gradually acquired three of them and fitted them with a selection of Morris Cars to represent a factory delivery. Here we see D137 The Cheshire Regiment approaching with a mixed train including the carflats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
