Doughnut Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well I know the bloke at the Minsterley Planning office, very well. 8) You can see right over on to the main line from the 3rd floor up. And talk about amenities....KFC right across the road.....a Mecca for any rail buff. Yes, I have seen that garage...fantastic isnt it. Would slot in nicely on my next scenic section. Thanks Terry, just got it positioned above the Station and wired up tonight. Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL 'O THE WYND Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Sigh... There are times I really feel like modern image. Just to go out and take some photographs - work on something - take more if needed, instead of trawling through the past. Funny thing is, I have a couple of more modern 37s but they are sector livery (which I love!) now that's history too. Sigh...

Back-aching stuff, cant wait til I go back to running the trains! Any suggestions as to where I could purchase some Modern Image cars, would be much appreciated?

David Todd Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The town scene looks amazing Dave....how did you get it to look so realistic....a hurdle that so many of us fail to get past.

Back-aching stuff, cant wait til I go back to running the trains! Any suggestions as to where I could purchase some Modern Image cars, would be much appreciated? Dave absolutely superb shot with the last picture with the KFC. On the back of the road signals there are usually hanging brackets ...very easy for you to imitate so the signs are not floating. and that's the ONLY thing I can find to criticise...... Vey well observed. Loving it........ooh no that's a Burger place....hehehehe...... and I have noticed several ways there are hung.....so two small strips will make it perfect.Great work.....keep it coming.

Doughnut Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Many thanks chaps. You're right about the signs Jaz. Perhaps a couple of thin plastic srtips, or some insulating tape cut into thin strips, might do the trick. The only other thing that bugs me is the satin sheen on the road and footpath caused by the Railmatch 'Matt' varnish. After applying road marking transfers I give everything the once over with this varnish to seal it. But you don't always get a matt effect. I know mixing thoroughly, before applying helps, but I did this time and the result was not what I wanted. Then again, on other occasions , ie the station platforms, it worked well. Quite hit and miss, it would seem. Still, lets pretend we've just had a downpour at Minsterley. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
