phil.c Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 My last Pannier picture of the day before researching how to build a buddleia.! Paint brush bristles dipped in coloured sawdust would work...probably best to colour the sawdust with ink rather than paint is it would clump/set together, the main objective though would be to get the scale correct as the majority of flowers posted are way over scale!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 4, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2017 I will certainly give that some thought plus might have a flowering plant or two growing out of the joints as well. Food for thought. Thanks Plants growing out of mortar joints back then - perish the thought! Such sights are very much a good time after the end of the steam era.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted September 4, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) No, Little Muddle is more realistic than that... I would imagine the drivers are complaining about the foliage blocking sighting of the signal, and probably being told to wait for winter!

Such sights are very much a good time after the end of the steam era. I will use artistic license and approach the subject matter with a sensitive touch......it will most likely be only one strategically bush with a light smattering of weed growth. It will most definitely not look like some of the ones in the pictures I posted...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 I saw this on the internet Kevin and I immediately thought 'wow! that looks just like Little Muddle' GWR Picture.jpg Well thank you for that compliment it fact I was toying with idea of entering this cameo layout competition and just have a single line of track going across it just like in this picture (no point though) but rammed with scenery and a road bridge.........but I haven't so you can all rest easy?????

I would imagine the drivers are complaining about the foliage blocking sighting of the signal, and probably being told to wait for winter! Thanks. I've always fancied building a winter layout set in light/slushy snow. Until yesterday I thought it would be difficult to model but whilst running a picture through the editing suite I got some of the settings wrong for a B/W picture whilst adjusting the brightness/contrast levels and ended up with this.......

Like this picture because you can see through the cab and see the drivers outline..... 1004.jpg Still working on ideas for the buddleia plant...... My ex, who was a horticultural student back in the 80s, says that she was taught that Buddleia was known in the trade as the British Rail bush. This was apparently because it spread along railways as the seeds were sucked along in by passing trains. I have no idea if this is true, but there is an awful lot of it about on railway property!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 5, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2017 I saw this on the internet Kevin and I immediately thought 'wow! that looks just like Little Muddle' GWR Picture.jpg Y'er tiz in colour - although from a rather different angle. But take care with the signal - alas Trevor seems to have gone a bit wild when he conjured up that one so it includes something which would never have been seen on BR let alone on the GWR. But at least there is a proper Western FPL cover in the four foot on the point by the signal. And as the 'box diagram shows there can be some major pitfalls in copying the signalling on 'heritage' railways although a few of the signals themselves are extremely nice. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Last batch of the Pannier 4612 pictures, literally. Say goodbye to 4612 as she is now no more...... She has hung up her number forever, gone to that great resting place for loco's brass plates.... No!!!! not Barry Island...........? Oh dear, put your hankies away........ all I have done is re-numbered her to be more in keeping with time period that this layout is meant to represent. Tomorrow is another day, another picture, long live this little Pannier. Edited March 9 by KNP 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
