BWsTrains Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Hi Andy, That last photo from 45 degrees across the crossing doesn't work for me as all the immediate land beyond the left gate appears to be lower than track level and so the track just disappears into thin air. It does look good viewed from the far end but I'm wondering if there's a scenery solution that can look good from both POVs. Tricky I know and it is in effect a consequence of having the gate so near to the boundary.

The Line goes around to the left behind the Bushes on an Embankment but I will add some higher Bushes there next time I have the Scenic Boxes out. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2019 I do like that 25 (mine is next up on the list for weathering) but it looks like your cab glazing needs popping back in. In my opinion it is also crying out for a rake of clay hoods! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but no Clay Hoods in North Wales I'm afraid, I'll have to sight the next venture back in deepest darkest Cornwall. haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just an idea, the gates. They are not in use, and have not been since the good doctor done some surgery. Would the paint be all flaky, exposing some rotten wood? And could there be weeds growing through the cross bars? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a small Quarry beyond the Gates, but only accessed a couple of times a Month. I like the flaky paint idea though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had the privilege of viewing the scenic area and some running I can confirm that when you are there it looks right i.e. much better than the photographs. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 You obviously have the luxury of a double bus option - one at each end of the layout, something most of us can only dream about....! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 I really do have the Blues, yesterday I started my next 4mm project, Mason Street (Goods), This will run alongside SMS once Bala Town is Sold / dismantled / smashed up. More work on SMS soon as I have some new ideas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Popped into the Model Shop in Poynton Garden Centre today and amongst other bits for Mason St, I picked up some more fencing for SMS so I can do the next stage on here when the mood takes me. My Rat also had a run out on George's Grundy St today, and what a cracking Layout that has turned out to be. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
