 So many of the photographs I took as a kid look like this. A bit grainy, a bit washed out but 100% packed full of great memories. Great stuff - thanks

I had a camera like that as well...

How do you follow this lot up?

 

Green overload (not that this is a bad thing mind) as D6516 heads away from Titherleigh with an afternoon train for Exeter.

'November 1947

 

On a cold Autumn morning, Mr Ivo Hugh carefully nurses Skarloey Railway's No.2 'Rheneas' along the two mile mineral extension and is ready to fill the old engine's tank with water from 'Ta'n Ushtey'. They will then pick up the loaded wagons in the exchange sidings, destined for the Wharf at Crovan's Gate.

 

One of the local Ward Fell quarrymen has come over for a quick natter before No. 2 prepares to head back down the valley.'

In the late autumn sun, as I walk down the forestry track, No.2 'Rheneas' passes the crossing with loaded slate for Crovan's Gate.

Thanks Tim!

 

I’ve never enjoyed my modelling as much as I am now!

Don't think much to these new diagrams....

Skarloey Railway's No. 3 'Sir Handel' is filled with water at 'Thie Ushtey', before heading down the valley with several loads of slate for export across the island, and beyond.

^^^ that last picture is an imaginative take on the thread title, but without doubt very realistic

I lost all appetite for modelling during most of the various recent incarcerations and didn't go to the workshop for months on end. I have returned recently and I started with a small 4mm diorama.  All done from bits I already had (except the car as I don't normally model 4mm!)  The whole thing is 300mm wide by 200mm deep

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the many inspirational pics on this thread. i'm sorry, but there was no room for a railway on this one.

Cheers
