Just catching up with last few (dozen) posts!

Yet more wonderful shots, especially the panoramas.

On the subject of facials from last week.

Can I suggest a colour similar to the walls and viaduct as this might help hide their presence by confusing the brain.

Spot on!

Great pictures again, Jeff.

I covered up the top right section of photo 2 to hide “the bunker” and the result was superb.

Wait till the solstice!

Here in Motherwell a cloudy mid December will be pitch black by 3.30!
 

colder and hopefully cleare this weekend I believe.

Really good shots of the coming of spring on the layout……..

Just the 12”/1’ world descends into winter.

Animal Farm comes to the S&C!

George Orwell eat your heart out.

Niege alert in bottom left of second pic.

Good stuff though.

Looking at your latest pics makes me jealous of the space you have available!

The second one with your lovely signal box in the middle distance is very atmospheric even accounting for the snow stage left.

Lovely job, Jeff.

I have used the Modelu guttering fixtures and was very happy with them.

They may be a little lightweight for a railway/industrial building and they are TINY.

But they look good as can be seen here 

The shed continues to blossom.

The robustness of your construction makes my foam board/mounting board buildings look flimsy.

I’ve also bought a secondhand Lenz system for the new shunting plank and for the same reasons of familiarity and bulletproof ness!

The she’d looks really good.

Obviously you’re less clumsy than me!

I couldn’t risk a coffee cup anywhere near a control panel.

Great pictures as usual.
Good to see the fruits of your labours.

I never like to nag when nothing happens for days, or weeks.

People have real lives away fromRMWeb which sometimes take priority over keeping the fans happy.

The latest edition of BRM arrived in my Readly inbox today.

Although I have followed the viaduct build here I felt that the (relatively) short summary really served to emphasise just the scale of the task.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics rules!

It would have to be post watershed if it was REALLY dirty!

Looking suitably grotty!

Is “late evening paint mix” a separate mix to standard day time mix?

The “pretty” shots of the viaduct are great but this is an integrated system you are building.

It all deserves and merits exposure (pun intended)

Lovely suite of photos, Jeff.

Personal favourite would be No.2

Just catching up with your question re modelling activity.

I am currently working on a club project in readiness for the SEC next Feb (hopefully!) with another club layout in the wings.

More interestingly (to me anyway) is the box containing laser cut baseboard bits in the spare room that will become my first home built layout in ages. A simple shunting plank will emerge over winter

Wet track on the S&C? Surely not!

The embankments are looking great.

D

Let me start by saying I can barely spell perspective so this notion can be dismissed at will.

You could consider a bend to the left in the extension to lead it behind the pier. This might help fool the eye.

D

The first picture is very illuminating (bad pun, sorry).

If you rearranged the lighting as suggested it would blend in very well with the backscene!

Please don’t get too hung up on colour. If it looks right to your eye then that’s what matters.

Cameras and phones tell porkies - unfortunately different ones!

Reliant Robin?
