Mini? Sure add it to the list..... Nice!

I went off to work in Brixton walking tall dhig how cool, I daresay we have all had meets with the greats. I wa in the back of our VW beetle as we drove thru Windsor Great Park as we drove along a policeman waved at us, my mum waved back.....moments later Princess Anne came down the long drive which you see from the building at the top.....it was a close enough shave.....to rattle my parents. Obviously the nice policeman had NOT been waving. Could you imagine.....crashing into the Princess Royal!!!!!!!! oh she was in a car...scimitar I think......

runs as required Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Could you imagine.....crashing into the Princess Royal!!!!!!!! This earlier bit of my CV is just about still 'on topic' - provide you think of the Princess Royal being 00 gauge (and probably back in the tender drive era)...... I once got pressured into taking Miss Hornby to a dance just off Edge Lane L'pool. All I got was a %&$£#*%£$ for crashing into her and being a crap dancer. dhig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 OK we did Peterborough, and I took some pictures, but we did not return Sunday after all, so I do not have a good selection of those on offer. As you went in the building on the left was rmweb3182pertershw.1 It may be larger than 00, but I found it had some nice elements in in. rmweb3183peterbshow.2 I like the track here rmweb3184peterbshow3 and some nice texturing rmweb3185peterbshow4 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Still on Kendal MRC rmweb3186peterbshow5 rmweb3187peterbshow6 rmweb3188peterbshow7 the larger size allows for some lovely detailing rmweb3189peterbshow8 edit=I have to say, it was a good welcoming layout. On the other side of the main entrance was The Great Train Robbery, there appears to be some controversy about this layout, but I queued to go inside and listen, the spotlights picking out pertinent parts in another wise darkened area,as a recorded talk walked you through, I found interesting.....and well conceived. Outside a display of facts and a charity donation box. In my opinion I thought it was in good taste, others may have a different opinion. Something of interest for history buffs..... edit= being 'inside' I did not take any pictures. Edited October 20, 2014 by Jaz 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Still in what might be termed the welcoming foyer area there was also another piece of history. A diorama work by David Shakespeare was on display and is being offered for sale. rmweb3190peterbshow9 rmweb3191peterbshow10 rmweb3192peterbshow11 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Al, I do like to get 'in' the layout if at all possible....Although on the last one I would have to be a trapeze artist hanging from a gantry perhaps? I also wanted to show the end of the area hence the track not being cropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Wellbridge....OO gauge, and some lovely diorama areas rmweb3193peterbshow12 and their fiddle yards not too shabby rmweb3194peterbshow13 the only way to get a good picture of this area was to stand back rmweb3195peterbshow14 I had to wait ages to get a spot to take pictures......so others clearly liked this one too rmweb3196peterbshow15 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Wellbridge...cont'd....

Jaz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The police house needs a top light...I was going to scratch build on, and was looking for how to best to go about it....when it occurred to me a window might be a good basis rmweb3216policehoudse48 window on left from a wills kit window in place and you can see i am adding some green putty to try and disguise the appalling join rmweb3217policehouse49 one i had put the window in place on its side....it seemed pretty pointless to make one. I may or may not cut out the bits that divide it into 3 ....because i think they look smart. What with the fancy lintel tops, and the top light....it is getting less and less like the thing i was supposed to be modelling.....ah well....I like the result and i will apply rule one....LOL. Am still looking for the evasive pack of evergreen to sort out the dodgy window..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweven Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hi Jaz Have been catching up on the thread (again). The photographs with the pylons in the background are superb (I can recommend EZ Line if you ever want to string them with cables). The police station is coming along really well - you have enhanced the stone work beautifully. I particularly liked the bowling green and back gardens from Wellbridge. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
