Andrew P Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Nothing done on the Layout since the running sessions on Saturday, but I have a couple of mates coming around tonight and another tomorrow so at least I can have another couple of good testing / running sessions. I may be off to Porstmouth again on Thursday to pick up the good Lady but not sure yet. Here's the last lot of stills from Saturday. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I know you said the canal scene was one of your favourite shots but I think the sweeping curves and rolling countryside takes some beating as well. Still a lot of ballasting to do...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 12, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2017 I agreed with KNP - but then thought everyone might think I was agreeing about the ballasting. So just to clarify - I am really impressed with those curves. They just look so right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just look so right. Cheers Guys, yes now the first Hillside is in and the Track there is Ballasted, I must say I do enjoy watching long Freight running through there. As for the rest of the Ballasting, well maybe next week, I now have George T coming down on Thursday as I'm not going to Portsmouth now, and I've also got some more weathering jobs to do once my new Air Brush arrives. I also want to wire in that Signal at Dore End as well, but I've spent the last two days, plus today, walking the Dog and just sitting in the Conservatory Painting, BLISS. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was refering to the backscene painting video. (Not to mix shades of green). Green locos, thats different! All the best TONY p.s. Do I still have to do 100 lines? If so can I chose 2mm that should be less work! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I usually read these threads without bothering to log in so I haven't commented before but I just had to say how much I enjoy this layout and find it very inspirational. I am one that follows the Rev Peter Denny's thought that OO guage is best viewed from at least 3 feet away so I never pay a lot of attention to the finer details but tend to stand back and look at the bigger picture. I think the reverse curves you've created really capture the feel of the railway scene almost anywhere in the country ., and looks terrific. BTW , for me to say a layout looks good when there are diesels running, especially 'orrible blue diesels then it's got to be really good. Any chance of improving it with a few more steam locos though ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Are you sure they were mountains and not hills (those familiar with south Wales will probably understand that one ). Not heard of one Mike, I need to do some Homework on South Wales. I've only ever been to Newport twice, once to the Golf Club for a Renault 5 Launch, and once to the Station Train Spotting, and a ride through to Cardiff and back.

There will be some more Steam Stock coming on again very soon no doubt, maybe even tomorrow as I have another Visitor who prefers Steam, but for now, I'm afraid it's more pics of Blue Diesels to follow shortly.

Andrew P Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Whilst waiting for Mike to arrive this evening, I decided to PLANT 4 Trees. They are from the fairly new 4 Ground Series, and although a little bright, they are very nice for a small Tree. I then sprayed them with a cheap Hair Spray, well it's no earthly use to me now. I then diped them into a tub of Woodlands Scenics T49, Green Blended Turf, as recommended by Kevin / KNP / Little Muddle. And this is how they came out. They were then used to disguise the Farm Track exit, but a few more will be required on the embankment.

Andrew P Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 This evening I've had my friend Mike around, he is suffering from Dementia, and hasn't used his Layout for some years now, but still enjoys the Club and coming around here, plus it gives his Wife a rest. This evening we just ran Trains, which he loves to see, but I also did a short Video of the 08 Shunting the Goods Yard at Kings Moreton. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
