aplinewalker Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Fantastic video and tour around your layout ,,, amazing,,, that's a huge space you have,,, and by the sounds of it a story line to every corner. When I see stuff like this I often fear my two lines passing a rural station is going to be lacking enough interest. But congratulations to the both of you on a huge amount of work.

Alan Hi Alan Thank you. We are fortunate to have a large space, but even the largest space could be filled with rubbish, some might say it is. But to the contrary, i have seen fabulous works of arts created in a couple of feet of space. For me a layout is as much about the person making it, it adds something about them and their vision. I do not think the size or scale or construction matters, as long as the person has a passion and motivation to make it theirs. Some of our friends on here leave me in awe, simply with their constructions of crates, deck chairs, landrovers, back scenes, station canopies, resprays..... The list is endless. To me, nothing anyone takes an effort over, will ever be of a lesser value to me, than any other piece of work. I look forward to seeing your layout ,.... people make life interesting, ...and what they create should be interesting to all, but those who are too self absorbed.

Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well....Kal said it all.....and I agree. Good modelling, and innovative ideas can pop up all over the place. And do. Inspiration flows through peoples work. Even when person uses two ides they got from some where else and meld them together, so that they don't think they have come up with a good/original idea, they have introduced a fusion. Plenty of people 'copy' other work but make it 'work' for themselves. And even the act of copying an initial good idea and spreading it to others is very useful. C&WR often takes ideas from military modelling and tries it out here, with excellent results, the idea may not have been his, but he has bought it to us and showed it, and then modestly says not my idea. But often I have not seen ideas before, and as such to not just be told about them but see someone showing how they trailed the idea can lead to some fantastic ideas. There is an absolute wealth of knowledge floating around here. Go have a look at Doughnuts work, http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/78216-minsterley-modern-image-ohle-layout/&do=findComment&comment=1212463 sublime, There are people who make kits well, weather well, model buildings from scratch, model OHLE from scratch, who take models and turn them into unavailable models, whose eye for paint and colour is masterful, oh the list goes on and on. Many of the people who post here, are people whose work I visit often because their skills at aspects or whole layouts are truly admirable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Kals holiday is finished ;( The mother in law has been returned home, and this allowed us an opportunity to go to Accrington and Mick / Newbryfords local show. Which means we un-expectantly have LOADS of pictures. I spoke to Brian Davis, and he kindy gave me permission to post his work rmweb2796show1 I am positive the likes of Sasquatch will find this of serious interest. 2 sizes of modelling pipe evergreen or similar and one pot of paint rmweb2797show2 old fashioned pot drainage pipes, all easily linked if you fancy a cameo of some pipe work being laid or repaired rmweb2801show6 and stored in a wagon on straw.... rmweb2802show7 modelling A-Z..... 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Nor was Brian a one trick pony, he had a whole host of ideas. take some dowel rmweb2799show4 and some Balsa laid at 90 degrees, he holds this over a large washer....and uses a nail clipper!!!!!! for the curve.......which he popped from out of his pocket!!!!!!!! Like a little magician....... rmweb2798show3 rmweb2800show5 the wire he says is off cat5, I thought it was the jewellery stuff ladies like so much to make home made jewellery. Some wood stain and a bit of a google for the names which he prints off and these little stands..... and next to those lovely terracotta pipes rmweb2802show7 so classy rmweb2804show9 His pipes are made using copper ...but he explained he has acces to a quarter million machine which makes the rings and he individually hand drills the!!!!!!! I can't imitate that!!!!! Well with plasticard maybe. The wool bales? Dyed cotton wool. And he had a nice pack of Knightwing plastic bits which he had utilised for several of the other wagon loads. Superb ideas. I was so entranced I forgot to get the numb of the knighting plastic set...but I'll edit and add it if I come across it. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Then there was layouts. One of our favourites. Blackmills by Newbryford. Which he has sold we were tempted ourselves. But there was 'new' ones that we have not previously seen. First Bleach Green rmweb2805show10 a lovely countryside crossing rmweb2806show11 a lovely water feature rmweb2807show12 another rmweb2808show13 the same greenhouse as photographed a bove rmweb2809show14 my personnel favourite picture of the show.....the water moved backwards into the layout but i could not get a good snap of it. But just here the light was magical. rmweb2810show15 and a little bit of interest as the trains moved off to the fiddle yard rmweb2811show16 i didn't get to speak to the owners, but was mightily impressed with their work 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I didn't see the name tag for this one...I assume it is Alderford Station rmweb2812show17 rmweb2813show18 rmweb2814show19 rmweb2815show20 rmweb2816show21 It had a truly lovely glass canopy...but unfortunately I seem to have forgotten to take a picture!!!! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hi ChrisN, saw the likes, thank you, you will just love one the layouts I am popping up soon....right up your street. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 And surprising Chris...this is NOT the one I mean...... Stephen Kirby West. If my memory serves me well I think I saw a FOR SALE notice on this one. Kal said this one really caught his eye. rmweb2817show22 this spot was SO good I had to have 2 angles rmweb2818show23 rmweb2819show24 the bull in the bottom right hand corner, has caught my eye before. But I have never managed to source it. At the show I managed to buy it TWICE. From two different sellers. More on them later. rmweb2820show25 hes bit out of focus here, he is from china, but is a lovely little figure. these buildings just ooze character. rmweb2821show26 and up close the tiles the cattle are working on...really look the business. some of the background perspectives are exceptionally good, here is a fine example, together with their low relief, there is a serious sense of distance rmweb2822show27 and I like some of their detailing rmweb2823show28 and just look at those cobbles beautiful workmanship rmweb2824show29 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 But this one is.... Eaton Gomery I meant to go back and take more but each time there were people in the way, I suspect the little street scene will have you in raptures rmweb2825show30 these Lancashire lads certainly understand atmosphere rmweb2826show31 and the street scene...... rmweb2827show32 I especially liked the drapers stall over to the right the colours are good....I just wish I could have got a couple of close ups.the green on the doors and windows and sooty exteriors.....all put you in mind....no synthetic colours here. Notice the suits hanging on the shop front at the back....... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted September 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2014 Jaz, You are right, it looks brilliant! The station of my narrow gauge is on the edge of the market square. When/if I ever get to build it I will have as many shop fronts as possible plus the market. I notice a child at the back; I assume this is the Langley set which did not have the child in it when I bought it. They have changed the contents since then.
