Going down with flying colours...

Vicar Sam Weech and Ollie Matthews - the Bishop of Welchester, nurse 'Thunderbolt' on the final charge to Mallingford. 

Having lost time due to circumstances beyond their control, the duo use the down hill stretch of the line to their advantage... taking care not to exceed the 25mph speed limit imposed by the Light Railway Order act of course...

Very neat, just a little tip or two, add a space between each picture as it makes them easier to view, and use a plain background to hide the workbench clutter

I got my stepbrother to tinker around with the sky using photoshop yesterday:

 

 

 I think this one is my favourite:

A railtour has arrived at Melcombe Magna. The railcar awaits the occupants return from the local hostelry.

Hope this is good enough to post I’ll remove if not

I know there’s a lot to do to complete this scene but really liked this picture of my under construction layout

The telephoto lens and natural light forgives a lot of sins, Bri.dolan; I think it's fine here and I'm happy to believe I'm somewhere in the northwestern parts of Greater Manchester on a sunny late morning c 1970!  Be good to repeat the shot when the ballasting, signals, and weathering are done, though!

 

I've just realised the similarity between EM1s and AT-ATs.

I’ll certainly repeat the shot once I’ve got all that and the overhead up 

They do do have a look of them don’t they ,might have to stick some legs and guns on the 76 and see what it looks like lol

I like the composition of the shot, it's very convincing.

There's more than enough here to suggest that it's going to be a cracking model railway and tends to tune out the unfinished elements.

My layout isn't finished either, but I've posted bits of it on here that I like and hope that others do too.

It’s  Always a bit nerve racking posting in a thread with such high quality modelling .

Lovely effects all round - weathered track, scenery, backscene...

 

And Jamaica Inn is just the other side of that tor....

 

Totally off Topic, but my parents had their Honeymoon in Jamaica Inn, in April 1945, as Dads uncle was the Landlord. Sorry Andy Y, for the interruption to normal service.

A couple from me (including my new ‘LAPFORD’ painted stones sign which was a flipping nightmare to make).

Just a collection of junk

My goodness, Mr Besley's modelling scenes are just great. Mine are not so great but I thought I would have a go.

 

 

39491 is ex works and failed in Basingstoke South Yard with a hot trailing axlebox. These fitters have seen it all before on Mr Urie's H15s. The consensus is to send it back to Eastleigh or at least get those B Works Fitters come out and finish the job...... In any case this old bird is due for the scrap yard anyway.

 

And another thing, you would think the Eastleigh painters could get the power classification on strait!

 

Little fitters by Modelu and painted by Dan Evason of Tunnel Lane Model Railways. H15 by DJH and 30368.

 

Kind regards,

Coopers Common, the N gauge layout I have made for my Son and his Children is now finished - below are new photos of the finished layout - but will post some with his stock added when he takes it to his house. Back to O and OO in a few weeks - have three layouts to finish off !

You’ve done a good job with blending that Kato Unitrack in, if I may say so.
