Gill Head: Kirkby Luneside's neighbour
Dragonboy replied to Physicsman's topic in Settle & Carlisle LAYOUTS
You beat me to it there John. That embankment is a sheer work of art Jeff. Brian -
I don’t have a wonky shed door but the eagle eyed will doubtless recognise the arm from the water crane having a lie down. No over enthusiastic grand son to blame only a clumsy old Buddha (that’ll be me then) who did this some years ago now. Brian

A few pages back you showed a picture of some kindling stacked on your coal stage which set the grey cells a whirring and after a few hours cutting up and painting match sticks I’ve come up with my version. Kindling brought in with some oil and once off loaded the wagon is parked in the siding awaiting the outgoing pick up goods service. All my loads are removable using a magnetic pick up tool.

Such sad news and the railway community will be a much lesser place for his passing. Like many on here, I have many of his books and it’s the ones he wrote on realistic operation that I return to regularly, and the knowledge and wisdom he shared has greatly enhanced my pleasure when operating. My sincere condolences to Bob’s family and friends. The world has lost another Giant of the Railway community. Brian

So sorry to hear your sad news Mike. Brian

Now that’s a tip I need I need to remember if I ever tackle point rodding but as I’m an N modeller that’s one of the few things I’ve rather put in the No Chance column, up until now.

I think someone put it on Tomorrow’s list and you know what they say about tomorrow.

I too really enjoy building kits, and find a spell of wagon building is a sure fire way for me to rekindle a diminished mojo.

Very nice and natural ballasting Andy and being a coastal area I’m thinking you’ll hardly need to do anything other than the lightest touch of weathering.

Cambridge Custom Transfers produce chalk marks and I’ve used them on some of my stock.

Years ago after my divorce I commented to the grandfather figure in my office that I’d started looking at girls again. He said that he couldn’t see anything wrong with that and asked what my problem was? “Damned if I can remember why” was my response

That looks like pieces of masking tape that haven’t been painted

I’m using Safari on iPad and trackers are way above my pay grade I’m afraid but I’m also getting the privacy agreement appear on every layout topic I go to

I reckon Andy is reading the Adverts

Kevin has planned his structures well to omit the chippy as last time I was at the coast I remember they were a flapping nuisance. Must be where Hitchcock got the idea from.

That has to be one of your best yet. So full of atmosphere and you almost hear the seagulls
-
Looks like Andy’s put the “mayonnaise “ on already so now waiting for a pit of flockage
-
Nice set of pictures Graham as it’s showing different views that us great unwashed don’t get to see.

Modelu have what your looking for.

I’m just hoping the demented baboon performance doesn’t make it into the next video ……..

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Brian

Seems to be out of stock everywhere at the moment and while I’m not asking anyone to reveal their sources - other than by private message, but has anyone found an alternative product that gives a similar finish?
-
Rather than adding sheep or cows to the field which might give it a cluttered look, do you think some white dots on the back scene might be better representing sheep well away from the railway?
-
Excellent tutorial Andy. You make creating art look effortless.

Yes I’m having the same problem as this on quite a few topics, sometimes loading to several days past. I’m viewing on Safari - my browser that is. I’m not out in the wilds of Africa
