Another layout appearing is Clive Mortimer's Pig Lane. A compact, pre- tops, Western Region diesel servicing point located on the borders of Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Unsure which way round we'll have this on display as it is capable of being viewed from a variety of angles...........so if you've seen it before you might not have seen it from here/there..............Come to think of it, it could be a surprise to Clive if he leaves it unattended for too long...... I thank you....... Isn't magnadhesion wonderful. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are staging sidings beyond the bridge, for photographic purposes I placed a bit of white painted wood behind the bridge. I don't have fiddle yards as this song always comes into my head when I read fiddle yard. 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backscene now fitted which is allowing buildings and other previously loose items to be fixed down and bedded in.

choo1choo Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I used to live in Carthew and we had a real live tree in our garden that was green!.....even after the 2pm explosion and best efforts of the local work force to cover the entire neighbourhood in clay dust. It was a holly tree so the clay was quite useful at Christmas to add a little festive cheer. Craig, 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had a look through my period colour photos of Wenford clay dries, the trees are green. Only the very nearest vegetation has a hint of white. The whitest area is the dries loading docks and the concrete apron. I wouldn't really class Wenford as classic 'clay country' through, so perhaps local circumstances were different. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted for discussion purposes regarding vegetation near Wenford clay dries and extracted from The Steaming 60s not by Peter Coster ... Definitely green. Probably because it was a nice tidy LSWR branch. Shocking if the WR let their clay get everywhere. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
