Frank is obviously enjoying his stay with Ashley Benworth. Not in the lamp hut I hope.

An early colour photograph of Clinkerford station that was probably taken sometime in the late thirties. What a beautiful sunny day in the Forest of Dean. There must have still been a reasonable amount of traffic judging by the light reflected of polished rail surfaces.

Undoubtedly ‘Clinkerford’ is one of the best models of the FoD. I was always drawn to it at shows (East Dean too). The trees and bracken are brilliant, the bracken is something I’ve yet to master anywhere near as effectively.

A couple of arty farty shots from the on shed diorama. I have put them through a couple of filters to try to get a diesel fume look but I’m going to try to achieve this naturally over time. 
Still lots of detail to add. Iv tried to add a wet look to the floor using woodland scenics realistic water and just spongeing it over lightly.

Signalman Fred Francis has pulled off the outer home in plenty of time to allow the next Up train to run unhindered straight into the station at Treneglos. He will want our photographer to get out of the six foot well before the train reaches the viaduct!
