I like the way you start each layout with an aerial overall view, then get down to line-side level for the more detailed shots, and the way you leave the camera focused on something as a train goes out of view rather than trying to follow it. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post SouthernRegionSteam Posted May 7 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 7 Apologies again for the long break between posts! I'll be away for 3 days, so there will be more gaps between photos, but we'll get there eventually! Anyway, onto @Paulrhodes 's absolutely exquisite 'Old Parrock'. This little cameo layout in OO is a delight, and, like many layouts at SWAG, proved that you don't need a lot of space to create something impressive. The layout was well presented, ran beautifully, and looked stunning with its Pendon-esque buildings and some lovely scenic work and consistent colouring. I feel it was quite brave to opt for 3-links on what is, essentially, a shunting layout - yet it worked very well. I suppose the small size of the layout means that at least you don't have to reach across a wide baseboard to uncouple! Happily, most of my time at SWAG was spent admiring, and taking photos of the layout - so watch out for more photos and a full layout feature in BRM somewhen next year. But for now, here are a few sneak peaks: 24 1 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulrhodes Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Thank you for sharing those great photos of Old Parrock, Jamie, they're really excellent, and I really appreciate your kind comments too. Exhibiting the layout over the last eighteen months has been hugely enjoyable for our small team and also informative. I've been adding to the freight stock but it's now time to think about a second passenger train which I'll start building this autumn. Obviously it'll be short! 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted May 10 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10 Old Parrock was a wonderful layout, and inspirational in so many ways. 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post SouthernRegionSteam Posted Sunday at 12:20 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 12:20 (edited) I'm finally back, which means it's time to move onto the next layout at SWAG - @wiggoforgold's 'Lydbrook Dean'. Yet again, Alex has produced a very atmospheric and cohesive layout, with the unique autumn setting giving a lovely vibe - catching glimpses of buildings and trains through the bare trees. The vegetation is a treat for the eyes, and the autumn colours really work well across the board. It is unmistakably Forest of Dean! I would've liked to get more posed shots, but I was starting to panic about not having enough time, so these will have to suffice I'm afraid: Edited Sunday at 12:21 by SouthernRegionSteam 22 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted Sunday at 13:34 RMweb Gold Share Posted Sunday at 13:34 Really evocative, and I particularly liked the lane sloping steeply away behind the level crossing. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
