If a PM involves more than 2 people, and I press the reply button, does the reply go to everyone?
-
I think most diagrams probably got a 'works shot', but I'm not sure there was a hard and fast rule. Repaints in newer liveries were generally not photographed as far as I know, but no doubt there were exceptions.
-
Good pic, Karhedron. Note the pressed-steel bogies (cf the ones in the OP, which aren't.)
-
With at least seven livery variants over the near 50 year lifespan, it is slightly amazing the K22 never made it as an RTR offering.
-
Is that 1955 photo in a book?
-
The atmosphere feels right, and the only 'colour' that jars is the pristine state of the ballast, which needs darkening. Lights? Pendant hanging things? Presumably gas mantles?
-
That is excellent, but in your assembled shots, the buffer stop rail tops should be flush with the running rail top.
-
Does the kit give anything for the alarm gear? (Although I'm thinking primarily about later-style gear, rather than the 'bit of string on the side of the roof' arrangement.)
-
I think a full stop after the 'R' is not only correct, but standard for that era. I'm wondering about the full stop after the number though, is that right? Lovely weathering.

So many good things here, not the least of which is that no modeller would design a layout where a loading platform straddles a crossover... (yes, I did check your Goods Yard part 1 to see you were content about the prototypical arrangement). The thing that jumped out at me was the dark stone for the gate posts. (?)

I always thought the 4-2-2 Dean single looked elegant, but there's something about the proportions of the 2-2-2 that makes it even better. (But before the BLT fans get too excited, it's worth remembering the singles would have been, in modern parlance, 'red route only' engines.)

Or even the M4... Roadblock!!!

Interesting that the indirect sunlight picture shows a considerably greyer body than the direct sunlight pics. It's quite a difference.

Nice colour for the frame red brown, very 'Buffalo'.

There's a file in the gwr-elist files section on the Wales milk train traffic.

The usual RMweb software 'upgrade' - it's 500% slower than before
-
Why does RMweb have to wait for crap social media plugins like gravatar.com to load before RMweb content can load?

Miss Prism replied to wenlock's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
I think it was usual to turn engines at the Barmouth Junction ('Morfa Mawddach' prior to June 1960) triangle. -
I thought I had a record of some standard dimensions for valencing, but I can't find it now. (Was it in an MRJ?? John Hayes article for Wallingford??) Anyway, as a bit of a guess:
-
Nearest I can find for the valance is on: http://www.kirtleymodels.com/index.php?p=1_7_PRODUCTS-0-GAUGE but it doesn't look deep enough for a Clarke building. And I'm not convinced it looks as good as a homemade plasticard effort.
