Thanks Bob.To be honest I wasn't sure that angle for the photo worked.

A regular contributor to this thread,Mikkel, has just uploaded a video which whilst being brilliant it also has a very apt quotation at the end.It could be the reason for this thread.

 

'Men do not quit playing because they get old.

They grow old because they quit playing'

 

Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Have you ordered the Orange paint for the beach hut yet? There could be penalties if you are relying on some last minute Robben to get hold of some.

The first hut wil be yellow but there will be an orange hut if Holland win the gold trophy.

That'll be the 'Neymar' luxury beach hut then, it could be worth up to £250,000 in today's money.

Well things are about to get exciting as with Captain Kernow's excellent South Hams photos I've managed to get them stitched together to make a rather excellent fiddle yard back scene . However, due to copyright I won't shew it till its finished and paid for.

 

I'll shall miss the blank canvas. ;)

Just need to blow the 1366 up to 7mm for spams to have some decent motive power.

No need, he's building the Agenoria kit in 7mm as we speak. ;) I wonder what Heljan's rtr 4mm version will be like.

I must admit the Castle is stunning

 

Thanks Paul.I built it long before I had a layout let alone building ANTB.Of course it's now redundant probably like the 1368 due to far superior rtr items coming along.It's a lot heavier than the Hornby version that's for sure.

I think am sure Spams will do a good job,  My view so far on Heljan's effort tends towards the opposite extreme because the liveries hinted at show a distinct lack of research while the CAD was very unimpressive.  We will see what we shall see.

 I think like me Mike you wish that Kernow had taken the 1366 class on especially as they did a great job of the Beattie well tank.

Little change of direction if you don't mind. 

The 'new'  Hornby Grange. Anyone want to comment on it? I rather like what I have seen in BRM this month.

Edit to product- place Hornby!

I though the Grange in BRM was by Hornby.  It does look nice.

 If it's the Hornby Grange, I recently acquired a (heavily?) weathered  BR 'Paviland Grange' R3019. It runs and pulls fine. Hornby seem to be closer to getting back "on track" with this release, as the build quality seems better than some recent releases.

 

I believe from comments and pictures on another thread that a small "spindle" is missing, when compared with earlier releases, although it seems to have taken some time for anyone to notice it's absence.

 

The only "complaint" I have is that the "weathering" seems to be largely concentrated on the nameplates, although they will be replaced in due course.

 

I wonder did the GWR/BR(W) make any special attempts to keep plates, numbers and insignia cleaner than the rest of the locomotive?

Tonight I'm looking for opinions on a couple of items.

 

Firstly I've printed off a sample of the Captains photo to see what it will look like in situ.

With a Grange. ;)

Secondly.In last years August BRM there was an article on repainting the Skaledale garden shed in a candy effect paintjob for a beach hut.Picking out alternative planks in colour but I think that would be a touch ostentagous post war.I think it looks quite nice with just the door and roof trim picked out.Any thoughts here.
