What a stunning picture!

The colour and weathering are spot on as is the track and ballast and the firemans face is so clearly defined that I thought I recognised him!

Enough to make me change to S7..

A photo I took of Plumpton Green at the Bluebell Railway on Sunday. By far one of the best layouts I've ever seen. I don't often see Sussex layouts at exhibitions. Very inspiring stuff! I could have watched it all day. 

 

Colour and Black & White

A photo I took of my layout yesterday, in a rather lower league. :p H Class with Birdcage set and A1x with parcels in vent & passenger luggage vans.

No apology needed - fantastic pics.

The difficulty is finding shots taken from a low enough viewpoint to look realistic.  A survey of my own exhibition snaps reveals that I have consistently failed to take such pictures.

 

I wanted to see some shots of MrKirtley800's Kirkby Malham duly 'aged', so conducted a brief smash and grab raid to copy some of his pictures, so, again, I apologise for pilfering from others' posts ...

Coal activity in the main yard - the goods in the background hasn't left yet.....

All quiet on the Forfar line in a low sun.

A few of my layout. 

Not the best but I'm sure they're not the worst either.

Firstly, a GWR 2-8-0 prepares to depart Ashcombe, with the driver at the ready on the whistle.

A peaceful afternoon by a small foot crossing.

Cattle in the lineside fields settle down for the night in the long summer grass.

A night time shot of the evening dining service ready to depart.

Another black and white photograph, this time we see a Parkside Beetle prize cattle van.

And finally, my attempt at an ivy covered telegraph pole. It still needs some improvement but looks OK. 

 

I must say, some of the other photos here on this forum are absolutely amazing!

Cattle lying down is supposed to be a sign of impending rain, isn’t it, or is that horses?

 

These are definitely not the worst, and better than some of mine!

 

Yep, cattle...
