Really Stan, I don't think it necessary to take a break after only doing half the lawn. It is only 4mm scale after all.

Could you do a shot with the garage doors open so that we can see Stan's layout. When he has found some petrol and finished the lawn of course!

 

Excellent modeling. Regards Shaun

The second of the five vehicles which made up the Colchester c1950s breakdown train is finished, at last (!), a scratch-built GER double bolster converted to the crane match truck, 961658.

The first vehicle completed was the GER 6-wheel Mess and Packing van, 961520 (D&S kit) and the next wagon, will be the other crane runner, a cut down GER Dia 17 open, 961657, also from a D&S kit.

 

The final two vehicles are ex LD&ECR 6-wheel brake and a Cowans crane, which hopefully Hornby's takeover of Oxford Rail, won't stop its production (CAD drawings were well advanced in July), albeit no doubt there will be some ramifications!

Not sure how this will display but here goes.

By the way I just joined Rmweb today. I'd often looked at topics ( most recently the 200+ pages of the thread of real railway images which if you ran them on your layout would attract adverse comment) but felt it was time to join up.

I like it. The transfer on the grass box of the mower really sets it off and adds realism.

Another quiet morning here at Tunstead Sidings.

I've never posted pics on here before, but thought I might stick my neck out and show a couple of drone shots of my preserved South Lancashire Railway.

They forecast snow on the moors later during the morning; not that the crew of the class five are worried.

Mrs Miggins waits for the 20:15, shame it’s gone half past already…….must be too warm in there!

Practically rush hour this morning at Tunstead  Sidings.  1365 finds its on duty to return a cattle and a van back to Tunstead.

Hi All,  A big thank you to all of you that have "liked" the  pictures of my South Lancashire Railway layout, you've given me the confidence to post again. 

Here we see former Manchester Ship Canal Peckett No11 with a wagon of coal for the coaling stage at Highfield loco shed, together with an overall view of the end of Highfield Station, with an exhibition of preserved buses in the car park. Each bus has played a part in my life. I hope you enjoy these photos.

All is quiet at Upbech Drove.

J50 68940 was captured on film crossing the disused rope hauled tramline once used to haul coal up to Queensbury from  Hole Bottom pit. The photographer would have been standing on the walkway connecting the the two subways at the Halifax corner of Queensbury triangle.

The end of a perfect September day.

An attempt to blur the line between model and real as much as many of the fantastic photos already posted here, another from Charlestown Kiln.  The backdrop, sky and exhaust are all from a 'reality' photo of Caledonian No. 828 during a visit to Bo'ness.  Everything else is model.

Absolutely beautifully done, seamless presentation

Wow, I wish I had the computer skills to do that. Certainly looking at it on the small screen on this phone it absolutely looks like the real thing.

Hello John,
