73c Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 That Peak in the background hauling a tanker (TTA??) plus mark1 coach.....really???? The Peak looks like it has some panels missing so I'd say all 3 are scrap 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack374 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 https://flic.kr/p/RmkrJU Surely a model...cleanly ballasted trackwork (using the new Peco bullhead points), photoshopped backscenes to hide the sides of the layout and to top it all; running in of the new Bachmann FFA/FGA wagons!

pH Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This really looks like a model to me, but I cannot explain why: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/680436/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.hill64 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This really looks like a model to me, but I cannot explain why: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/680436/ Gaudy backscene, no weathering of the stock, plastic bridge kits, lack of plants. Definitely a model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted December 12, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2018 Gaudy backscene, no weathering of the stock, plastic bridge kits, lack of plants. Definitely a model. And, I suspect, heavy handed use of the "enhance" function after the file was moved from camera to computer. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 .... probably a proscenium arch for the lighting : maybe 'warm white' would have been better than 'glare'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimble Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The 1st one looks as though it has a pantograph? Stewart I think it's for knocking icicles in tunnels down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The 1st one looks as though it has a pantograph? Stewart The locos used on snow-clearing duties on Donner Pass have various modifications - icicle breakers, clearview windows, mesh screens on cab windows, snow hoods over the engine air intakes (and probaby others as well). Here's a picture showing all of those on a GP38-2: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/349287/ 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Should have weathered the locos and some of the figures needed more realistic poses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted February 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2019 Not a railway subject, but this footage made me think of a model set with stage smoke across it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-norfolk-47132158/drone-captures-southrepps-radiation-fog-daybreak 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Those DCC smoke units work really well. Not too sure about the soundchip though? https://www.flickr.com/photos/stuart166axe/32054658287/in/dateposted/ Edited February 7, 2019 by Porcy Mane 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post Andy Kirkham Posted February 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Leaving Carlisle. by John Whiteley, on Flickr "How to fill a corner" Artfully conceals that just inside the tunnel mouth there's a really tight curve to the fiddle yard round the back of those houses. Never leave a square inch empty if you can fill it with sidings. Excellent backscene. Edited February 14, 2019 by Andy Kirkham 39 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold daveyb Posted February 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2019 Couple of Smiths or Hartman models of Scammell Routeman 8-wheel tankers in the background with the newer Pretflos, better than the old Airfix kits. The weathering on the Peak's headcode box has gone a little awry... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
