The GWR track work just flows, so well!. The track tone  is spot on and i love the long check rail in too the yard, Superb!

The whole scenic work looks so natural and alive, not to much,just right, A great bit of observation to the real thing, well done! :good: .

Do you have anymore of this layout?.

Very nice Lloyd - but an interesting name on the signalbox or do I keep misreading the layout name?

Yes, Mike. A slight cockup was made with the spelling which we haven't corrected yet. There's another 'Sumara Road' name board on the staircase of platform 2/3 and a 'Harford Street' name board still on the platform 1 stairs. The derelict signal box will be renamed 'Cambay Street Goods' as its actually outside of station limits anyway.

I was up in the roof this afternoon looking for the photographs (for Andrew P) that I took at Bitton, way back  when building the models for Brinkley. Didn't find them, unfortunately, but did find this one of my N gauge layout of Kingham built 30 years ago. However, what was really a surprise, was to find, in another box of old photos, a 2mm project that was abandoned when I moved up a scale to P4. Boy, did I spent some hours hacking away at that metal body. I lost count of how many drills I broke drilling out behind the steam pipes!

Crikey, mezzonman, I had to study that to work out which bits were models and which the backscene.  Cracking work!

Hi C&WR, Thanks for the nice comment.

 

The sky was hand painted, the bit between the two buildings is a combination of suitable photos and the buildings scratch built using Wills sheets and basswood trim. A little bit of serendipity and the lighting make it believable.

 

Oh for that to be the same for other areas of the layout, we try our best. :)

Rubbish composition, terrible exposure, blurred and out of focus.

 

Probably one of the most realistic pictures on here.

Well done.

 

Mike.

Thanks very much Mike you had me going then! ;)

 

Thanks again, Paul
