RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 Well, a classic day of one step forwards and two back. However, at least the water tower is finished with the exception of a pull chain thing.......still need to rummage ans find something. I'm quite pleased with it and feel it's a tad more individual than the out of the box Bachmann jobbie. Rob. 24 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a skanky bit of rope. I'll probably end up twisting a couple of strands of fuse wire together to make a rope. Rob. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The water tower looks great Rob. I like the fact you've taken what is a very good model originally, improved It and added your own touches. Really good modelling 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 22, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) If anyone wants to know where the inspiration for Sheep Dip came from, here it is. Taken by Norman Lockhart in 22nd April 1970. He took this snap. Not the best but a record of the former engine shed at Sheep Dip all the same. Rob.

Taken by Norman Lockhart in 22nd April 1970. Norman had been in a bit of a rush that day. On arrival at Sheep Dip he realised he had left his camera at home. However, he had just started carrying a Kodak Instamatic for just such eventualities. He took this snap. Not the best but a record of the former engine shed at Sheep Dip all the same. Rob. Nice try Rob. However, any fule kno that Instamatics produced square format images (now you're going to tell us that Norman trimmed a little bit off the bottom). 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
