The Hymek is nicely framed by the lamp hut and the Tilley lamp post, so that it looks a complete scene rather than a crop of another. Model making isn't half bad either ... 3 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBRJ Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 The more I look at it, the more I think that that "Hymek" picture is one of the very best model railway images I have ever seen... There is something there that goes beyond well taken picture etc, something that gives it that feeling of been there, and just how BIG locomotives (or any stock!) actually are when you are up-close and personal with them in a yard setting. 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have exactly the same sort of problem. You only have to look at the number of my posts which are edited with the caption: Stupid Autocorrect. For some reason this glorified speak and spell ignores the fact that I have an "A" level in English. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a blue route, but in an emergency the Divisional Control discussed the situation with the Civil Engineer and a decision was made to permit the move, subject to a couple of additional speed restrictions being imposed over a pair of culverts. The line from Leominster as far as New Radnor was eventually upgraded by the GWR, to match the route availability of the extension to Rhayader, when the latter stretch was built in the early Edwardian period.
