The cows are actually re-painted Jerseys made by Britains. The cow pat is a blob of solder painted greenish brown.

Broadoak Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 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.

Popular Post Mulgabill Posted March 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2021 Deep breaths ... 123 Breathe. 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 TONY 29 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadoak Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 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.
