Short steps to excellence. ;) Well spotted Andy. In my defence though, my usual modelling eras are triple grey onwards. 😊  Edited July 4, 2022 by ayrmrg 35 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model is a modified NuCast kit, upgraded so it can compete with RTR offerings in terms of detailing, sitting on a modified Hornby Adam's chassis with wheels appropriately changed with correct diameters. 52 15 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can pick up on is the countryside visible through the goods shed, where there should be the tracks from the platform leading into the distance. Park a van in there and it would be near impossible to tell. Please don't think I'm criticising, this is far in advance of what I could do! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a thread on here for this layout? Thanks jay   Thanks. I don't have a layout thread as such yet, the image is actually taken on my Charlestown Kiln diorama with the kiln removed (the structure was made removable for storage purposes). I found it substitutes in well as a generic section of river shore railway line, similar to other areas on the Fife Coastal route or the Bo'ness branch. All that changes is the backscene, exhaust and sky which are added in photoshop.   1 hour ago, 97406 said:  That looks like the real thing.

No, that’s good. One thing that I feel makes my pictures still look model-ish is down to the lighting. I’m experimenting with cooler LED bulbs at the moment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2022 I use LED anglepoise strip lights to illuminate the layout, and these have 3 levels of light output and 3 colour casts, warm, cool, and mixed. I can therefore simulate sunny, bright, or overcast conditions and to an extent the time of day, wihh low output for early morning and late evening. My default is cool overcast medium; this is the South Wales valleys, not an area famous for bright and sunny weather and a grey drizzle is more typical.  Natural light does affect the railway room around midday on sunny days, and by coincidence rather than design the layout is geographically aligned very similarly to the real Dimbath Valley in which it purports to be situated, so I occasionally take advantage of this for photos as well. For photos, natural light is best! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
