RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted July 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2018 I do hope the Railcar is arriving at Endcombe, otherwise the Passengers for LM Service in the B Set will be well Peeeeeeeeeeeeeed off. Looks to me like it's left, as has the other service, they have missed both. Better hope the tea shop is open while they wait. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 I wonder how the dairy keeps going - you never see any staff, there's never a milk tanker being shunted in or out, just a manager's car badly parked out front. It is the 30's where life was much slower! If you look carefully you can see where I have moved one of the shrubs out of the way of the recent gap works and left it in the yard. I take your point about staff, it is on my list off things to do...…… as to the shunting well to be honest I have an electrical problem with it shorting out so I removed the feed to the polarity switch and it now works as a piece of track at the moment. It was an old secondhand Y point that I altered in the time honoured fashion for electrofrogs but until a few weeks ago it worked fine, so another thing to add to the list.....! I KNOW. Do you, as it has a driver at both ends! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but it made for a nice staged picture...…… There is more in this sequence and the railcar has been moved in the direction of Little Muddle, so I would surmise that it has left! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted July 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) I imagine the driver of the red car is the dairy owner's wayward son. He's supposed to be taking on the day to day management but he's not very interested. He screeches into the car park in the middle morning, asks the staff if everything's OK, and rushes off again to do something much more immediately gratifying.

Popular Post KNP Posted July 19, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Yep, it appears to be leaving... Not sure what the main line trains are doing as they appear stationary! Definitely heading towards Little Muddle now On the move What, now Ken's got involved from the ground....plus it looks like it's moved back again slightly ? I did wonder if the driver realised he was early so backed up to the previous signal to wait.... No. I don't think so.... Or ………………………………………………. (left blank for comments by readers?) or did Ken decide it made a better picture by filling the gap better between the buildings....ahh that might be the answer!

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted July 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Surely Ken was on a low level sortie, checking he could get the wings between the house and the barn, hopping over the tractor shed then pulling up sharply to avoid the signal, all the time keeping the camera focussed on the railcar.

Popular Post KNP Posted July 19, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Activity at the creamery. Cars have gone and a flat bed truck has arrived. No one in sight though so I suspect they are in the office sorting out the loading of the lorry? Edited March 21 by KNP 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S-C Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It being a dairy, one wonders what is in the barrel. Is this a new delicacy of creamed herrings perchance? Maybe its nails for use in plugging the holes in the tanker wagon that's been standing under the awning for what seems like weeks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what Stubby said I suspect it's full of beer for the closing down party. Might be a bit quiet as I haven't built the staff yet? The tanker wagon did move this morning for a clean but now it is back under the awning, especially in this heat...

KNP Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks for all the comments about the recent pictures of the creamery and it's lorry. The last picture was heavily cropped to focus in on the lorry but it hides a problem that has just come to light over the last few days. Due to the insessant heat the glue to the back scene board appears to have lost adhesion to the wall causing a joint section to pull away and rip the back scene. Other areas appear OK so the plan is to leave it for a day or to see what else happens and then mechanically fix the top back to the wall with say - a section of picture frame along the either length, glue any rips with wall paper paste to tidy up and hope it all holds....

Popular Post KNP Posted July 19, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) After posting a sequence of pictures of 4825 running light into Little Muddle I thought I ought to follow up of some of her leaving with the autocoach. Please note how clean the windows are on the autocoach both internally and externally. I have spent ages getting rid of those silly bits of flick and flecks that seem attract themselves to the glazing when your back is turned. Now come on, be honest, how many of you have done what I did and spend a while cleaning a piece of glazing only to realise the bit of fleck was on the reverse side...….!!!!

KNP Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Now for something different, I was lent a couple of 009 loco's by my friend Andrew as I don't have any stock myself so Over on Cold! I took some pictures of these visitors. I know this CBC is to the same scale as Little Muddle but I forgot how small these loco's are..… Yeo and Peggy supplied courtesy of Andrew Mott Edited March 21 by KNP 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Back to Little Muddle. Rolling into the station is 4825 with the 10.55 autocoach. Poor old Ken had to move back a bit otherwise I think the loco would have hit him!!! Edited March 21 by KNP 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) And here's what not to do. As I couldn't see the viewfinder I had the camera remotely controlled by my iPhone so the the image the camera was seeing was displayed on the phone screen. Inadvertently I must have pressed the take button on the phone as I was moving the loco resulting in this This was what I was after..... But then after all that I didn't like the result as there was to much bleeding around some of the edges!!! Edited March 21 by KNP 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
