ianmacc Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Come on mate. That the worst scenic treatment I’ve ever seen. Just dumping bags of Javis dark brown and bright screen scatters onto the hillside…. At least make some attempt to blend it in…. Edited to say I’ve just noticed how uncannily the bush in the from right foreground looks like a lump of that lichen stuff that was the staple of layouts in the early days of scenic treatment !!

EDIT Snap! The red one is one of the rebuilds - you can tell by the little triangular fillet at the bottom of the body side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Radford Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) So you've damaged the sleepers at the end of a length of concrete sleepered track and only have a few wooden & steel spares... Opposite Tutbury & Hatton Station platform 1 - Derby to Crewe direction. Plus a track join to more steel track. Track from Derby appears to be welded steel sleepers up to this and welded concrete sleepers toward Crewe.

The LNER ones have shorter footsteps and lack horizontal handrails on the balconies. They also have an extra lamp iron on each end, though that’s not so visible in this photo. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite was an Old Oak driver who pointed at the eth "on" and "off" buttons on a 31/4 and dryly remarked that they determined whether you wanted to heat the train or pull it. 8 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
