Andrew P Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 OK, I’ll see what I can do. I have a few pictures that need editing so I will see what I can do. Been working on Cold! planting conifers and building fences. More important, how are you feeling? Hi Kevin, much better thanks, still resting though.

Popular Post KNP Posted January 17, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) As I have mentioned many times before once I have set all the photographic gear up I take a large selection of pictures so I have, at present, about 2 dozen waiting in the folder for editing from Post Focus into single merged pictures. So after Andy's request here are a few I have rattled off through Affinity.... Then hearing this the Squadron Leader wheeled out his newly acquired RE8 and with Ken in the observer seat (after much persuasion I might add) they did a quick recon mission as well.

We often try to have the trains in view all the time but it looks so much better when they disappear and reappear as in real life. Following your recommendation I have just got a trial of Affinity to see how it goes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted January 17, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2018 Another picture worked on. Notice the new Modelu standpipe to the left on the coaling station by the wheelbarrow, fitted the other day. Very nicely made, came in a pack of three so now I'm looking around for other places for the other two!!!! 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard.h Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I can only agree with other posts in that it is a very impressive layout modeled to a standard that very few of us could achieve I was particularly interested by the way you made the trees as it was a method I had not seen before, I've used sea moss previously which look pretty good but I feel are let down a bit by the thinness of the trunk at ground level. Anyway inspired by your article I found an American supplier who would ship to Europe and ordered some Sage Brush Armatures, they finally turned up last week and I was able to build my first tree with materials to hand. Even by my standards it looks really good and is the most natural looking tree on the layout so I can't wait now to get a selection of vary coloured leaf material so that more can be produced.

No I don't think so, I tried the the website listed on this thread first and it said that they were not shipping outside the US at the moment so later on I did a search and found www.scenicexpress.com which would ship to Europe, so unless the original company had changed their policy that's where I bought them from. The actual items are listed as EX0240 Super Sage value packs in their product range Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted January 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sagebrush is a member of the Artemisia family and several varieties are commonly grown in UK gardens. The most well-known is "Powys Castle" and it does get woody and leggy over time, just the like photos of American Sagebrush on Wikipedia... Hmmm...

Popular Post KNP Posted January 24, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) The other day when local photographer, Ken Dobettar, was at Middle Farm he was able to catch 4825 steaming past to Encombe with a small mixed goods train. More importantly attached was the new Toad which up to this point had not be seen in action....!!!! Slight oversight there by the operating team, I believe, as all attention seemed to have been focused on CBC Cold! recently.... A question for all those learned colleagues who follow this topic - would I be better off removing the word 'Paddington' from the side of the Toad and leave it blank?

In theory it would have been very unusual for a van to get that far adrift in those days -.especially as the only person who would have had the necessary key to get into that one should have been a Paddington Goods Guard. Which might suggest a course of action to you, but what name would you put on it instead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
