davefrk Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yep, only 0.63mm out.. That ballasting is rather good Mr F. Just needs a red carded (hot box) ammonia tank sat up against those stop blocks & you'd be sorted. Could almost be P4. P Nope it can't be because it runs faultlessly…only saying!

SR DUNCAN Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm not called Duncan! Don't know why it decided to post my reply that way! Richard Thanks Richard for the nice remarks about the water. Your computer was obviously having one of its moments! The water was created with many coats of clear varnish which was stipled into ridges whilst it was drying. This method has been described on the Forum before. Duncan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR DUNCAN Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 As I have just submitted some photos that do not contain much railway action but represent the miles of country between the main stations here is a view across the railway cutting and farmers field to the blacksmith's forge. The farmer needs to get some cattle in for the long grass or he may be leaving it for a second crop of hay as it has been a good summer in model railway land.

If not yours, I'm sure I've seen something very similar with industry and small engines in a garden layout. No Ruston it's never been in any mags' in the ten years i've had it running, i can't say i know of the other line that you may be thinking of as i have never bought that mag' for well over 40 years and so i would'nt have seen it! Sounds like it might be summat worth me looking up though for more inspiration and ideas. Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but one swallow doesn't make a summer however I'll be happy to now add this to the list of layouts ..shunting planks not included..that actually work now making three! ( Mostyn and Charlotte Road being the other two). Enjoy yer oatcakes they're not that popular up here but they seem to sell well south of the wall. Finally I would refer you to the email address of a certain belligerent mutual friend with the biggest and most Excellently Magnificent layout of its type in the country.
