I recently added Mrs Wallace's husband and took advantage of todays' natural light to soften the scene.

Light work for this reasonably clean big tank, seen drifting past Sharnham Crossing with a late morning working from Tonbridge.

Like the smoke - rather better than some - the steam less so. I know it's very difficult to reproduce smoke or steam ..................

Superb picture. I thought it was the real thing and I was on a different topic until I looked very closely.

 

Is this layout on RMweb? Please could you add a link if so ?

Thanks; steam locomotive emission added to photographs is something of a “Marmite” taste for many.

In this instance I was attempting to portray a coasting Standard with steam passing through a “cracked” regulator tinged with the haze of cylinder oil. As in many aspects of modelling, I find my 74 years a little trying, especially editing photos with the tip of my index finger,

Thanks for your kind comment. There is no topic of the layout itself, however I’ve posted quite a few photos on this thread over the last couple of years or so.

Shame it does deserve its own topic if only to keep all the excellent photos and modelling in one place, allowing space for you to expound in greater detail how some of the work developed

This is a much cropped ( hence the quality ! ) image looking into Sheep Dip from the Fiddly Area Reshuffling Table.

The original work was by the late John Watson (Laxfield in MRJ 0). The layout is being restored electrically and scenically as it is a little 'time worn' i.e. faded, dusty and the original groundwork (surgical lint) had become distinctly mothy. It has to be said that John's scenic methods were well ahead of its time (1970s/80s...no lichen used!) using some of the classic Pendon methods.

 

Teaser....Wait until you see the allotments!

Hopefully I'll be forgiven for yet another view of Avalon shed taken yesterday evening.

Chaps and chapesses,

 

To those who gave me thumbs up and the like, I hope it was for the comment that I attached to the picture by @Right Away .  I just hope no-one thought it was my picture as the computer and I weren't getting on very well on the day and I just couldn't do the picture as a quote.

 

I did think the smoke was just right - a coloured haze and no more. As Right Away said, it's a bit of a Marmite thing and I've no issues with it and I happen to like Marmite!

 

Cheers,

 

Philip

A gap in the clouds

Full sun in the yard gave me a chance to drag the Fife coastal scene into stronger light and hard shadows.

Busy times in High Peak Junction yard. 97201 waits to move back onto the Tribometer Test Train after an earlier fault required a light engine test run, while 25071 has just arrived back from Toton with an independent snow plough that had required maintenance. Not quite sure where they are going to put the revenue traffic!

There seems to be an abandoned tractor at Middleton Top this morning.

Back on the harbour and the infamous 'haar' has settled for the day, nearly obscuring the gaswork's Barclay!
