RMweb Premium great northern Posted March 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2017 The Kingsbridge portion of the down Cornishman arrives. cornishman f1.jpg cornishman f2.jpg I'm not sure which of these two is the better shot. cornishman f3.jpg cornishman f4.jpg I'd say the second one has a bit more "presence" Alan, but they are both attractive shots.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The second one - it has all the locomotive, plus a little bit of interest in the darkness where you can see the end screen. Its the stronger composition of the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post westerner Posted March 10, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Thank you both. I think I agree with you. In fact I think this one may be better still with the light shining through the roof. Edited March 10, 2017 by westerner 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strong diagonal shadow does it for me, which is less dramatic in the third version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted March 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2017 Now all it needs is a puff or two of cigar smoke to simulate the blue diesel fumes filling the roof space! I remember Chris Leigh writing about that method in an old Model Railway Constructor annual, with a photo of a 'Western' loco under a similar overall roof. He said that the person 'supplying' the smoke was quite green by the end of the photoshoot due to the need for multiple shots to ensure the right composition and exposure - with the usual question of whether the photos would be usable once processed... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Walker used to do the same on his Laxford Bridge layout every time a train emerged from the fiddle yard. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerner Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 I don't seem to have posted anything on here for a week, indeed I don't think I've been in model railway room for more than a couple of minutes at a time. I'll try and get the camera down to Kingsbridge this weekend and see what I can spot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post westerner Posted March 19, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2017 As promised some more photos. First the Bubble Car departs for Slapton followed by Grenvile some 30 minutes later. The next train to arrive is an inter regional express headed by that Grange recently seen at ANTB 15 or so years ago. Burmington Grange I'm now a sucker for this shot And after turning and moving her stock into the Bat platform she awaits for the trip (as far as she is concerned that will be to Newton Abbot. 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold checkrail Posted March 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) When I saw Wencombe in RM a couple of years or so ago I thought it was wonderful, and have been meaning to catch up with it on RMweb for some time. So over the weekend I've had a thoroughly enjoyable journey through the 78 pages of your thread, following the evolution of Wencombe into Kingsbridge Regis. Wencombe was excellent, but with KR you've stepped up to an altogether different level. It's richer, deeper, more complex in its atmosphere and detailing. I love the street scenes, the harbour, the station and train shed, the turntable, and the realistically weathered and detailed stock in all its variety. Fabulous stuff. It reflects that steam/diesel transition period on the old GW lines so well that it immediately took me back to a 1961 childhood holiday in Totnes, where this 13 year old Mancunian, hitherto a devotee of Stanier and Gresley, saw many of the trains featured on your layout, 'cabbed' a Hall at Kingswear, and experienced a damascene conversion to all things Great Western. Now a follower. Keep 'em coming! Best wishes, John C. (Edited to get my age in 1961 right!) Edited March 20, 2017 by checkrail 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post westerner Posted March 29, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) After our evening shot, back to running trains. In my last group of pictures with Burmington Grange I mistakenly said that her next turn was to take out the train she had brought in. Actually her next turn is a semi fast goods. The express to Manchester will be taken out by Western Enterprise after she has disposed of the South Devon set in the Crriage sidings. After that she reverses back on to the Manchester set. and then leaves. Edited for typos Edited March 29, 2017 by westerner 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
