I thought I would chance my luck by posting my garden diorama again, first featured on pg94 of this thread. However, this time with different characters and slightly different caption, same deckchair though!!

 

"I hope you don't plan on sitting in that, you've only done half the lawn and don't forget to water the plot and finish putting more compost down."

"Yes dear!! Spot of bother with the mower, I was going to sit here and read the manual."

"Manual, when have you ever read a manual, why don't you just kick it or hit it with your hammer. That's what you normally do".

Lovely garden diorama Mark.

Not much there to tell you that it isn't the real thing, John, absolutely superb.

So another update on my goods yard layout. Scratchbuilt the yard lamps today. Based on the ones that were at Brora station and goods yard in the late 70's to mid 80's.

I reckon you should be able to pull it out by the root if you grab a decent handful of it John…

That had me fooled, only the quality of the photo tells you it's a model, now adjust it for a 1960 Voklander and black and white Ilford film ....  Lose some of the high definition and blink and you'd miss it

Without doubt the best use of real smoke I've ever seen on here - or anywhere else.
