The Gill area needs building-in, and it looks like there's snow on the fells....but it's only bare plaster....

 

....but the model is (hopefully) starting to resemble the prototype (of which, nice pic attached).

Jeff - Will you also be building a photographers gallery, wet weather Hut, near one end

of the viaduct. (As in the proto pic)?

 

You have also reminded me it's about time I nagged Mrs MB into some more walling.

 

All the best

Tony, I'll give a more detailed answer - when I can find my derelict model hut from 2013 - on Gill Head tomorrow, so I don't block up this thread.

 

Simple answer, "no" - lack of space, though I'd like to.

Nice weathering but still rather too clean for most SP locos I came across most of which were closer to black and that was after the black livery had been abandoned!

Mike, Yes I know what you mean they are often so dirty you wouldn’t be able to see out of the cab windows. I had a video of Tehachapi loop and in the middle of a set of SP mid train helpers is a UP loco that is the same colour as the SP tunnel motors, covered in soot. I presume you don’t see that now I assume with more modern power meaning less locos, I can’t say I have seen any recently made films.

Kind regards Peter M

In other words, 'the grumpy old farmer's knackered Landrover approaching the bridge!'
