mikemeg Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Nice picture above, but what is it, where is it? Are those r-t-r models on r-t-r track or are they kit/scratch built or a mixture of the two? Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
f#m Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 the loco is a knightwing kit as it comes out the packet and Bachmann mk1, the black and white makes it look a lot better than the reality 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 yes there is - "is that real?" I take the point about "no higher" being incorrect - it was just a rhetorical device, sorry. I think the general thrust of what I was trying to say is "that looks at least twice as big as it really is", meaning it must have required proportionally finer and more fiddly work to achieve, demonstrating more skill on the part of the creator. Of course I didn't mean "that looks like a poor combination of scale and gauge" I really hope Dave took the OP's compliment and my follow-up as what they were intended to be - compliments. If not I'm very sorry for any offence caused. Cheers, Will 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted June 18, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 18, 2010 I took it as complimentary Will. As an OO bodger the odd couple of millimetres here or there has never really worried me too much. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we both get the jist though Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixteen 12by 10s Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Â Hi Dave, Mr Waverly west. What a superb study of 37043. I can just imagine myself sitting on that trolley with a four pack of Mcewans export, after a skin full in the Gildford arms. Pure atmosphere.

JZ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Maybe not up to the standard that others have set, but I do like this one. Since this was taken, a canopy has been added and a few seat and other paraphenalia 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemeg Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's June, 1950 in the early morning of a grey (well magnolia actually - I really must paint a sky backscene for these photos) day. A T1 4-8-0 tank slides along the down slow, passing the hawthorn blossoms, with its guards van as it returns to Hull and its days work. I do enjoy taking these lineside pictures; it seems to re-create that wonder which we knew as kids just watching the trains. Cheers Mike 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted June 29, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 29, 2010 This is an image from my now dismantled Peterborough layout, which featured on the old RM web. There will be more if you are interested in BRM next month and the month after, and this image is reproduced by kind permission of the photographer, the inimitable Tony Wright, and BRM. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemeg Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 It's still June 1950 but on a glorious spring morning. A Peppercorn A1, then almost new, coasts under Hessle shipyard bridge into the early morning sun (and that really is the early morning sun - no-one could produce light like that) as it brings its train into Hull. I've posted this photo a few times and, as photos go, it isn't good; the depth of field has just gone. But for all that it does seem to work and convey something of the wondrous place which was the railway of our childhood and youth. The picture is simply called - Early Morning A1.
