Conserved Very little is "preserved", even the NRM is poor at preservation which suggests the artifact should remain in or be returned to an as used or as built condition.

Popular Post railsquid Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 (edited) Fairly classic "roundy roundy" with curved platforms and the main line's disappearance into the backscene quite skillfully disguised with an inclined overbridge, which somehow draws the eye. However they've gone and spoilt it by putting not one but two buses on the bridge. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicjoynson/53246874513/ Edited February 29 by railsquid 17 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those strange circular street lighting units, supplementing the standard concrete ones in Tipton Road are very memorable - I don’t remember them anywhere else except Dudley. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One with a Southern Parcels van (Hornby or Bachmann?) and a newly-painted cut & shut of a Ratio GWR Guards van kit. Obviously not anything like the real thing! This is before the obligatory Midsumer Murder... .. and one after, with an excellent selection of Modelu figures showing the TV detectives at the scene of the crime. How many glaring continuity errors can you spot? I still keep coming back to these. I don't understand why a model is in this topic. OK some aspects are well done - the trees are unusually large and realistic but just plonking the PMV on the platform looks awful. Paul 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
