Waverley West Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 There is a ghost driving the train. But a great photograph. Terry Actually Terry, there is a driver. You just can't see him from this angle. Honest. Cheers, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 9, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi All, just finished this Cl.25 and thought it might enjoy an outing on this post. D5182 simmers in the loading dock bay at 'Junction Lane Goods' just at the entrance. The summer sun has dried out the Winter's application of muck and she could do with a visit to the washer! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LNER Tom Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Very good Phil, that's some very nice weathering on D5182, very nice shot indeed. Your track weathering looks quite realistic indeed....envious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 10, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2011 Very good Phil, that's some very nice weathering on D5182, very nice shot indeed. Your track weathering looks quite realistic indeed....envious Hi Tom, thanks for kind comments, getting the track to your own taste (and thats the important bit) is an evolution. I swapped from Peco to SMP 20 years ago cos I just love bullhead rail . Most of the track on this layout is recycled from previous incarnations and some of it tests the best locos to the limit!!! The track weathering is simply an overall coat of sleeper grime, some areas have had the rail sides painted (tedious job!) with a Humbrol colour, rail rust I believe, but I don;t think you can get it anymore? The shade is a very subtle contrast to the sleepers, which works for me. Ballast is a mixture of N chippings & black powder paint stuck with dilute PVA. Cheers Phil.

S.A.C Martin Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks. I also found this clip of old silent cine film. That's a really good start chap. My only criticism - and its one I've had to learn for my own filming - is that when you're that close to the models, you need to get the camera down to a realistic "eyeline", so somewhere around the bottom of the buffers, looking up. I'm lucky in that the camera I use gives good quality, and allows such an eyeline. Here's one of my own: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWwrCeGOJIc Not 100% happy with it, but I wanted to show something similar I'd been working on. EDIT: and my god, I wish I'd removed that tension lock before filming! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Jim, BR's apt building site yellow complete with rust that had replaced the maroon of earlier times on platform vehicles is well captured, particularly as the vehicle itself must be very small in 4mm. The 1970's town and inner city grot is not an era I personally would wish to revisit, but it hasn't prevented me from appreciating good modelling.
