RMweb Premium Popular Post Steven B Posted October 11, 2023 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2023 I think you'll agree this is a rather lovely scratch built Flatrol MJ. They've done a half-decent job of photo-shopping out the railway room clutter too. (Dave McDigital on Flickr) 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good use of the Oxford Diecast cars though, but shame they've chosen figures in such lifeless and unrealistic poses... 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon that's one of those quizzes modellers do for kids, spot the number of dogs on the layout. Sneaky hiding one driving the car :) 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also repainted/relicensed the Fiesta. The standard Oxford model is red & A-reg! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post railsquid Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 Nice little 70's station diorama, haven't seen that particular Peco backscene before. Not sure about the "driver striding over the tracks" pose, unless that centre track is not routable, looks like a recipe for derailment. The be-anoraked trainspotter on the left looks a trifle under-scale too.

Sheffield Midland Yorkshire 1st September 1973 by loose_grip_99, on Flickr It's funny how the backscene tries hard to show perspective, with the embankment up to the buildings, but still manages to look completely flat, right behind the retaining walls. Weird. 🤷♂️😉😁 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I can't remember what the application was, but the curve was so tight that Bagnalls had to build a loco with wheels bigger one side than t'other ! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulton Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Should have kept the original long Y point, this short Y point, is too sharp and will never blend in, seen Saturday near Dusseldorf Wehrhahn station. 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
