P.C.M Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi Peter, hope all is well, very nice update, great looking large logo 47. Just noticed the disused siding in the bottom left complete with catch point, brilliant. All the best Leon Hi Leon, Thanks, all good here. I have another large logo 47 to do but it's a Vi trains one. I thought I would give one a try as all my other 47s are Bachmann. It's not a bad looking model just needs a bit of work. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 great shot peter, never really looked at the platforms until now and they look superb, really nice details on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi Peter, Thats a nice photo reminds me of simialar real images from some of the old copies of Rail I have from the 90's. I agree with Neil, the weeds and the slight curve really bring your platforms to life. I noticed the flask train in the background as well still need a nice 31 on that!

All the best, Mark Thanks Mark, I still have a heap of Rail mags from the 80s and 90s, I still flick through them now and then if I am looking for some info or an old article. 31323 bought the flask in, it had shunted the train into the yard and was on the headshunt and out of shot when I took the pic.

P.C.M Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 A fine looking cat with some sharp reflexes. Hi Matt, He is about a year old now and is a real pain in the ### . He is knocking bits of the Christmas tree as I write this. It makes a change from him attacking the dog though. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 I went down to Llanbourne this morning as I heard there is a Christmas Shoppers Special running this week from Llanbourne to Manchester Vic with loco and stock. The 2Z08 leaves at 09.47 and returns as the 2Z59 at 18.25. Things didn't go well today as a DMU was turned out to work the train. To top it off the unit failed near Mostyn and a Pair of 20s were borrowed from a ballast train to work the train to Llanbourne. HELLFIRE. :locomotive: Merry Christmas, Cheers Peter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Must have been one hell of a failure, the station lights are out and it's blown out all the oil lights in the signals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted December 20, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hello Peter, How I've missed your thread with over 100,000 views is beyond me. BR blue is not my favourite, but I've just spent a very happy half-hour scanning through the posts. Some wonderful stuff here - I did a double take at the photo you posted in # 1306, so real did it appear! I shall follow proceedings with intent from now on.

'CHARD Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I like the way the 108 is sat halfway down the platform in 1316 with a sense of space behind her. Real less-is-more minimalism which reaps realism from mundane ingredients, beautifully realised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi Peter cracking shots as always I like your 108 it captures the look of them in service so well just how I remember them at the end of their careers! Hope you have a great Christmas. All the best Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Must have been one hell of a failure, the station lights are out and it's blown out all the oil lights in the signals. Hi Woodenhead, I agree some staton lights would be good, I would like to re build the signals at some point, and lights in them would be nice, bit beyond my skills at the moment. may be one day.

P.C.M Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 I like the way the 108 is sat halfway down the platform in 1316 with a sense of space behind her. Real less-is-more minimalism which reaps realism from mundane ingredients, beautifully realised. Hi Chard, The lack of station roof at that end was the real reason, but I like your thinking. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
