37206 arrives in Bridge End Sidings, at Seven Mills.

"Bit chilly in the shade. Nice out here though"

This probably doesn't fit in here but....

 

Not a model as such but this is the result of a test into turning Wills planked sheet into wood. 

This started off as Humbrol 103 cream (top) and Humbrol 62 Leather (bottom)

Weathered with Humbrol powders sealed with Humbrol acrylic matt varnish. 

 

This will be the 'colour scheme' for the buildings on the new layout, hence the test piece.

Looks very convincing. Ideal technique for unpainted wagons too, I should think.

Ideal technique for a certain Midland Butterly waiting room as well, as it adopts it new role as an ex- Great Eastern branchline terminus building ............

Dick Wolsley turned up at Capel Bethesda on a rather grey and overcast day in late 1962, to find 1628 simmering in the yard:

I very much like that. It's not so much that it makes me think I'm looking at an actual photo from 1962, irrespective of the standard of the modelling, but that it qualifies as a really good, well composed and lit black and white photo of a quality model railway, sort of reminiscent of one of the better Railway Modeller covers from days gone by, or a Peco "Shows you how" booklet.

The roar of the Gardner engine, and the squealing of wheel flanges, signals the departure of 03037 from Watery Lane sidings, on a trip working to Small Heath yard.

Early morning, and 37206 draws into the Bridge End Sidings at Seven Mills.

[6990WitherslackHall]

A photo taken from the overbridge of my work in progress layout. I know it doesn't look realistic at the moment but it will do once it is finished. I've got some ballast on the way and I'm busy looking up some pictures of tarmac and bricks to copy and paste onto a word document to use on the layout.

Morning. 

 

Another view of Sheep Dip.

By way of a change would it be acceptable to post some photographs of a couple of American layouts that I built some years ago that no longer exist?

I'm not 100% sure but I think it would be acceptable.

I am doing this with my old Exhill branch from 1982/83...

Newcastle to  Manchester, with the Midland taking over from the NER at Northallerton.

2183 class on the  09.55 ex Northallerton stopping train, at Embsay (Canal Road)

 

 

 

The return working is an express, stopping only at Skipton, Middleham  and Leyburn Junction..

The train make up is of 54’  clerestory, corridor stock with the original Midland     Compound,  to the design of Samuel Waite Johnson.  It came out of Derby Works in late 1901, as No 2631,  renumbered 1000 in 1907,  and finally rebuilt about 1914, and still exists.

Sunday afternoon at Bridge End Sidings, Seven Mills.

I'm happy to contribute something to broaden the horizons a bit more.
