spine If you're into evil, you're a friend of mine See my white light flashing as I split the night 'Cause if good's on the left, then I'm sticking to the right I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives Nobody's putting up a fight I got my.....

Good spot, probably accounts for the blades of static grass stuck to the buffer stop as well😃

Thanks Brian. Best Wishes Clive

The other end of the canal

Thanks Sweet pea. It was the first scenic bit of the layout I completed. I adopted the @MrWolf (and others) technique for the water (several coats of gloss polyurethane varnish), I tinted the varnish with Woodland Scenics water tints. The varnish was painted on a sheet of clear plasti-card, which I've cut to fit between the canal walls. The canal walls are 7mm embossed plasti-card, the walls on the tow paths are 4mm embossed plasti-card. Towpath surface is Redutex cobblestones. Best Wishes Clive

😄Hand of God I'm afraid, or maybe a sister boat. It occurred to me I'd never taken a photo of the narrow boat from the bow end. Problem is it looks as if the boat ran empty both ways. So I probably need to add a removable load, if I'm going to pose it heading in different directions Best Wishes Clive

Thanks for the compliment and for visiting my thread. I'm trying to take more photos of the parts of the layout which rarely get seen on my thread. Best Wishes Clive

The canal

Another photo of Curran's back yard, including redundant private siding

This is from the archive, and been posted before, but not in Black & White. Photo taken when the steam locos were on holiday

Andy - I think Neal dis-connected the smokebox speaker, so only using the Youchoos 4ohm Clive

Thanks Rob, very kind of you to say so and for others to agree. I must take some more photos of the layout. Dr Beeching will never find Dewchurch so it is safe in it's own little world. I also need to start building my next tank project. I really enjoyed building the Centurion last year, so have been tempted by another 1/16th scale model, this time the U.S Abrams. Clive
