GreenGiraffe22 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Found this photo of an E2 from the Mike Morant Collection whilst researching my local station Hove that my layout is loosely based on, looks like something taken straight out of the 'How realistic are your models photo challenge' thread https://mikemorant.smugmug.com/keyword/LBSCR;lbscr/i-MGFKhGr/A Edit: The Mike Morant Collection is the single best photo documentation of the LBSCR & SR I've ever found, incredible photos! check out this other modelistic photo, when the loco and carriages seem to be a different scale https://mikemorant.smugmug.com/keyword/LBSCR;lbscr/i-ZdxxCc3/A Edited March 3, 2018 by GreenGiraffe22 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 An interesting lighting technique. Illuminating only a small part of the layout allows minimal landscaping of the remainder: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/653370/ 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted May 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) When the white metal kit has still to be painted. Carrickfergus with the RPSI loco 461 in undercoat. These photos are all from the archive of the late Mike Collins, former DCDR chairman. I think the gentleman standing beside the locomotive is Peter Scot (in his overcoat!) .

Rugd1022 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 66714 and 66727 at Bardon Hill by robmcrorie, on Flickr Look at that absurdly tight curve. Train turning through 90 degrees within its own length! It's also uphill Andy, rising quite steeply to the road crossing on the A511! When we used to back trains in off the mainline at 3mph it took seemingly ages before you were in clear with the regulation twenty wagons on. When getting a train ready before taking it out of the yard, the golden rule was never to create the brake until you had the road out onto the down line as the gradient is steep enough for you to reach over 30mph through the diamond crossing, you would never hold the train on the straight air brake alone. One or two chaps found out the hard way! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Forgot to add - when drawing a train out you'd often have the brake in at around 3.5bar and the weight of the wagons woudl still be pushing you down through the pointwork, once you were about half way over the pointwork you could release the brake and the uphill gradient towards Coalville would slow you right down.

I don't bother posting anything to that page any more. To be fair, the main reason is that various subscribers have referred to Westerns as 'ugly'. Not being funny but even those who can't abide 'Maybach Music' generally acknowledge that the Thousands were amongst the most beautiful locos the world has ever seen. Must be an American thing. Wouldn't like to see their wives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
