Northern Maiden Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Lovely layout with lots of nicely observed wee details (like the inlaid steps to the track on the platform sides) and the well-tended station garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P I must admit it's not looking too great after all the rain we've had and the lawn needs cutting but I spend to much time on here and now I'm promising videos.The list goes on......

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted January 11, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2014 Grass looks fine in those two photos... Hopefully the signalman at Wrangaton will stop that parcels train, looks as if the fireman did not secure the lamps correctly! :-) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted January 12, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've just found something nice to put on my bridge for when I model the down Royal Duchy of '57.I'm sure Mikkel will approve. A new release from Base Toys. B106B_1581348_Qty1_1.jpg What route will it be taking to cross the water to that destination from Brent, remember no bridge in '57.

Coombe Barton Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Saltash ferry, Torpoint ferry or go round via Tavistock and Gunnislake. In 1957 that's the route we took to Looe on a coach from Plymouth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted January 12, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2014 Right you lot.Don't all go and moan at the quality but here's a quick clip I've just done this morning in a freezing railway room.Put together with not much thought,see what you think.Nice sound effects though. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll wait for the "Director's Cut" of this video, as it will have the CGI of the Finchings walking along the platform reinstated in the opening sequence, which will liven up the plot, as very little happens in the first two-thirds of the movie.

The cameraman's hands were shaking with the bitterness of the cold air flowing down the platform.It's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted January 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nice touch at the end returning the signal to danger. Better than the end of the French version of Jaws where they just put one word on screen......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) ISTR the Two Ronnies did a version, with the fin swimming about, a girl screaming, and then Ronnie C, fin on back, standing proudly holding the lower half of her bikini!

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2014 I did like that clip, it just the right feel of waiting by the lineside on a cold Sunday morning for the only train for a while to pass through.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted January 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ronnie C had quite a self-deprocating wit at times. He lived on my patch when I was a cop, and turned up late for an event he was guesting at. "Sorry I'm late," he said "I was cleaning the birdcage and my wife wouldn't let me out till I'd finished." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks CK.Of course you could easily go down to the bridge and video for real today' s Brent action but I very much doubt you'll catch a 45xx with a short van train anytime soon.

In a similar vein, it reminds me of the atmosphere on Brian Harrap's 'Quai 87' - a cold winter Sunday morning waiting for the ferry at Zebrugge, nothing to do, nowhere open, and another two hours to go...

In 1957 that's the route we took to Looe on a coach from Plymouth I think that I will take the train, at least they have some of Stubby47's facilities for a journey like that. I pity the driver and Clippie on a trip like that. SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nice clip although I was expecting an 'Express Passenger Train' (4 bells) and not a freight train (well it had a freight brakevan on the back so it must have been a freight train - wasn't it?
