A hazy day at the Small Heath Metal Box factory sidings. Charlie Strong's Peckett, affectionately known as Mae, and a BR 350HP shunter.

Wonderful sense of depth and use of “aerial perspective” together with the back scene.

Bakers apostrophe removal (which I’ve probably still got wrong).

Wow...  both Redhead and Irish.....?

 

Do you juggle Dynamite sticks, with lit fuses, too??     🤪 

 

Alright, just joking, I'm with you on both counts.

That last shot is particularly convincing- amazing what a bit of carefully placed cotton wool can do to enhance a pic

I mean, he'd just rebuilt the house, sorted out the mine, paid Warleggan off, secured food for the villagers for the winter, got the harvest in, and finally got to sit down in front of a roaring fire with his feet up and no worries, and Demelza comes out with that.  I really felt for the poor b*gger!

Beautifully observed modelling, full of atmosphere.  I particularly like the wonky fencing and the texture of the roadway but my favourite is the fella paused at the door of the pub looking down at the cat.  Superb.

 

If I have one criticism it's the Austin / Morris traversing the level crossing which is a bit of a modelling cliche, but that's a very personal view.  I'd love to see more of your work.

During RailEx Taunton 2023 I had the opportunity to take-in one of Britain's finest model railways - Chilcompton Tunnel - Stephen Jones and his team's stunning recreation of this much photographed location on the legendary Somerset & Dorset Railway in OO.
Filmed in the style of the legendary railway photographer Ivo Peters, we see just a small selection of over 20 prototypical train formations as they tackle the challenging gradients of the Mendip Hills edited with real sound. Sounds are provided by a number of prototypical and similar locomotives from my collection, captured at various Gala and Preserved Railways over the past few years.
Trains as featured:
0:18 - Fowler 4F Class 0-6-0, No.44447 pilots West Country Class 4-6-2, No.34091 'Weymouth' on a South bound express.
1:18 - Stanier 8F 2-8-0, No.48773 heads North with a Pigeon Special, whilst GWR interloper Collett 2251 Class 0-6-0, No.3210 emerges from Chilcompton Tunnel with the stopping service to Templecombe.
2:44 - Fowler 4F Class 0-6-0, No. 44331 makes a powered accent of the Mendip hills on a stopping goods.
3:28 - S&DJR 7F Class 2-8-0, No.53806 makes a spirited getaway from Chilcompton with a rake of empties bound for Radstock.
4:18 - BR Std 9F 2-10-0, No.92220 'Evening Star' heads South with the 'Pines Express', as BR Std 5MT 4-6-0, No.73082 coasts toward Bath with a fertilizer train.
Hope you enjoy!
