I generally look like that in the morning after a few too many the night before......

But without the hair hanging down I assume.

Seeing how this is coming together makes it all the more frustrating we won't be able to see for real at Taunton. I'm sure you'll get invites to take to other shows though.

 

 

Rich......see here.....

Another visit to a sunny Sheep Dip this morning provides a further morale boosting image as the Peckett heads into the morning sun with a few 16 tonners.....and returns.......

ISTR glycerine being quoted somewhere as a good preservative for such wood brought indoors. Where you'd buy that at any time, let alone right now, I have no idea!  

 

Used a lot by folk who decorate cakes like wot my mum used to do innit.

Once again some superb photos of your modelling, thanks for posting.

Beautiful stuff Rob. Overused cliché perhaps but the middle photo truly looks like an archive film shot.

Morning all. Thank you  for the kind words and 'likes' etc. 

 

Here's the final image, for now,  provided by Norman of the (very) occasional workings at Sheep Dip.

 

A study. 

 

 

Rob.

Oh...and a monochrome reworking in the style of Cavalier and Silcock..........if you haven't got a copy of 'Visions of Steam', seek it out. 

 

A must have if you have even a passing interest in industrial steam. 

 

 

Rob.

I've loved all your layouts Rob, and I don't know why, but there's something very special about this little one - really lovely stuff!

Very nice looking again Rob as ever 

Thank you for sharing 

[The Johnster]

Magnificent.  I love those 'against the light' shots;  you can almost feel the morning sun lifting the mist...

Such a comparison is well received.

 

Much inspiration is drawn from the  Mountain Ash system.

 

Thank you CK.

Having spent what seems like a very long time on the track work , attention will now turn to the buildings.

 

Here are a couple more images of the track. Some tidying is still required to remove errant grass fibres.

I wish you’d stop taking photos of real life track

Don't remove too many. The randomness and untidiness at the moment looks pretty good.
