You may see the rough edges, but trust me; not many people (if any!) do. I can feel pretty confident in saying that given I am very much in the same mindset; I knew exactly what was "rough" on Sandy Shores, yet for some reason all I seemed to receive were compliments! Seriously, I really hope I get a proper chance to see Bleat Wharf; you seemed to have developed a knack for modelling the last years of steam very well indeed. I thought the concrete roadway at the front was particularly convincing; not least because of the really subtle textures you've managed to recreate. Given that John Betjeman's film immediately sprung to mind when I wandered on over during the end of the show, I think you've done a cracking job. Thanks for your kind comments Jamie. Lovely photo as well. I watched yesterday, once again, Branch line Railway and once again enjoyed it as I never fail to do. I am so very glad I took the decision to rip up Bleat MK 1 before Christmas and start again. The first incarnation just didn't feel right. This version does and it really does capture the look and feel that I wanted. I can now concentrate on adding a few details as working through the snags as I see them.......however, at present all I want to do is play trains and that can't be bad...........

The performer knows where all those little errors are that not noticed by the audience. As I said to you, I feel you have caught a real sense of S & D atmosphere with the layout that places it geographically however much you might like a J70 or J15! Would now like to see the other layouts in the saga for real. Martyn Morning Martyn, Thank you........I must say I thought the J70 from Upwell looked very much at home on Bleat, courtesy of Wiggers. Mutton will be at the Exmoor show in Minehead on Aug 3rd and at Railex in Taunton at the end of October. Be good to see you if you pop into either. Bleat is at the SDJR Trust show at Edington in January and the Small Cardiff show the same month. Nothing after that at present. Nothing booked for Sheep Lane as yet.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2019 Taunton show is one I enjoyed last time, in 2017, so I might manage that this year. Although it's awfully close to the next Brexit deadline, and I need to be here on that date if things aren't good. I do not fancy arriving back in France to be told I can only stay three months in my own home.... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
