RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) All we can say for certain is that it has arrived and not yet departed. No tail lamp to suggest that it is to br moving away from the camera and no headcode to suggest the opposite so we do not know the direction of travel; my interpretation is that it has just arrived and that this is where this service terminates. The guard and driver are in the process of changing the lamps around, and have been called in to the office in the process, or we’d see them on the platform. Utterly convincing; you can almost feel the midday sun and the birdsong… Bit of a culture shock after ‘grim up North’!

RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted July 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2021 Hi Johnster, thanks for your interest and comments. This link takes you to the platform build of Brasted station.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have to say I'd never have thought of vinyl. I can feel a re-surfacing of Cwmdimbath's rather rough and crude platform coming on, with a different surface where the stream passes beneath it and possibly different again beyond that where it's been extended. The goods platform needs re-doing as well. Thank you for this support, kind sir! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted July 18, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks for encouragement a few posts above, here is another go. A BYA with its original cover latches still in place stands at Fairport awaiting inspection: One of the foot steps shows some impact damage, perhaps there has been a collision with a road vehicle. - Richard. Postscript. The crane looks ok in daylight but a bit fresh here. I have just given it a minor rebuild after Harry gave it a strength test. Only two joints came apart. Harry belongs to my neighbours but spends his time with me whenever they kick him out Edited July 18, 2021 by 47137 Added postscript. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a bit of a character! Harry is allowed everywhere in my house except the hobby room and he knows this. One day he made his way onto the window sill and got stuck in the blinds: I ended up clearing much of the bench to get him out, this was when I noticed the crane. He doesn't try to get into trouble, he just does. He is good company around the place, really his most annoying habit is walking around my legs in figure of eight patterns when I am using the toilet. No decorum whatsoever. - Richard. 2 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tank wagon on hire from ECC / Caledonian Paper, newly loaded with liquefied industrial waste at Fairport: I built this layout for photography and then installed it above my bench where I can only see a few angles. One day I must take it out into the garden and try some more. - Richard. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
