The herd of Friesian cows being driven in for afternoon milking. The cows are actually re-painted Jerseys made by Britains. The cow pat is a blob of solder painted greenish brown.

Class 56, No 56047 and an old OAA parked up in Seven Mills Sidings for the weekend.

 

 

Hi Andy, hope you don't mind, I've tweaked the colour balance a bit:

The wooden bodied shunter was made in the farm workshops on an old lorry chassis. It too is powered by Gardner diesel engine driving a generator to power the front bogie traction motor.

Both doors open and the driver has his son with him for company, so it’s either a Saturday morning or a school holiday.

Is there anyway to post your pictures direct to the topic as all I can see is a tiny jpeg square...

Just a point, the above diorama was taken to the location in my Morris Minor van, of which a model of the said van is in the picture, this was a Springside Model - their works was just round the corner from this photo shoot, at the time I built numerous kits of theirs for their sale stand

OK so I didn't really ever think I'd post on here. Partly because I'd not

come across this thread until about 4 weeks ago. But also because at

the start of my layout thread, I had explained my thinking in calling it

"A cartoon of Helstonish".

 

As originally built there was a fundamental flaw, I'd not left enough

floor-space for access to the loft hatch above.

 

Consequently the fiddle yard got shortened, and the corner section

was built with a larger footprint. And I decided to try to make a new

"cartoon", to recreate a classic Ben Ashworth photo, of Soudley

Crossing, in the forest of Dean.

 

Some time later we have got close to a finish, and I tentatively offer

to share it here.

 

Firstly converted to grey tone, to compare with the original.

If this image is not known to readers, a photo of a book image appears on

page 19 of A cartoon of Helstonish.

 

And for those who prefer colour.

There are more pics of this train / location, but this, I think, is the

closest to the great mans picture. Indeed some of the others depict

BA in position, awaiting this opportunity. (And he's not up a tree!)

 

All the best

Superb Tony.

Wonderful and one of those scenes that makes you do a double take...

The Fordson Major rail tractor was built in the farm workshop and is loosely based on a device made by Muir Hill that used a Fordson Standard tractor for power. The chain drive was open on that one but on the farm they fitted a guard. With only three forward speeds and one reverse gear she is restricted to shuffling wagons around the yard.
