Part-weathered Heljan Garratt 47971. 1949 early BR. Some photo-editing.

 

Dark satanic mills and all that....a cold morning, moving at walking pace, taking slack out of couplings, soon to have sanders on, on the up-down up-down gradients of the Midland Main Line, Brent-Toton and back three times a week, 100 empties north, 87 loads back. Industrial Britain, 1949... (well, the 3-returns/week was pre-war actually, when life for engine crews was harder)

I don't know if it qualifies for this thread. Great fun to do while waiting for the 'late July' prospect of heavily-weathered versions of these interesting and impressive Midland engines. Lovely model, too...

Magnificent, just magnificent.  Like a Shepherd painting.  Very artistic approach and when photo editing is done to this standard it proves just how good a tool it is to the modeller.  More please.

I don't think I have seen your work before I really like the first picture.....

Hi Jaz, glad you like the pic. You can follow my current work under Worseter .... in Layout topics. A selection of my various projects can be found in  www.johndarch.com.

 

Bruckless Junction was built for a friend. I think he bought most of the locos on ebay , so I don't know who was responsible for the weathering on the 37!
