  1. Is there anything worse - you are taking a stroll , eating your ice cream , lovely peace and quiet and then some one has to start showing off and tooting their horn ...

    Are these pics taken from your new garden with a massive telephoto lens ? If so there won't be many little people painted for a while!

  2. Totally OT which is the joy of such sites and its taken me this long to  really understand how I was educated!  Won't mention when I took the exam but it was during the Festival of Britain which was the first time I had seen a BR Standard, to bring this back to trains.

    Ah yes, I remember the cab of a Britannia on show... and Emet's wonderfully whimsical mobile sculptures: luckily a few years before my exam so I was able to enjoy the experience.

    The pagoda appears to be a good deal pinker than the usual GWR stone on the main station building : is that a trick of the light/ camera? I do hope Rob's long awaited footbridge doesn't end up so pink - a quiet word with the painters and decorators might be needed.

  4. After my lighting stand packed up I had to get another to supplement my lights for photos.I bought one specific to hobby use and although not as tall as the one before has added flexibility to its use.

    Here are some shots of 4582 again.

    Many lights make hands work....... I think the new lights are an improvement- wonderfully crisp and well lit pictures. Now where is Mr Snow?
  5. Anyway, with Andy's BRM photo shoot coming up I'd better make a start on painting this item of craftsmanship. Built by David Amias, it comes apart to aid my finishing of it.Watch this space.

    What a magnificent model- I can't wait to lean over the edge at the top to get a lungful of proper Welsh coal smoke (but in 1947 watch out for the oil-burners!)
