Hi Randy,

Did you get the paint?

Have you finished painting the building yet?

Come on, I want to see this one finished!

Cheers

Marc

Hi All,

Just a quick report - Roath Minor (AKA Bracty Bridge) did its' first show on the weekend (Cardiff) and it was very well recieved!

Most couldn't work out how small the layout is - using a fiddle cassette at each end helped of course - but it can be run with just one cassette.

The perspective effect of the view under the bridge was a hit.

Once again, I promise I'll post a pic of it, once I've had time to take some recent pics - and to play with depth of field, stacking software. The crate iself is quite deep (compared to its' width) and so depth of field is quite an issue.

Cheers

Marc

Hi Wayne,

Glad to see you're keeping this one going.

If I was looking to do something else in 4mm, I think I would have chosen something like this.

Your weathering continues to impress!

...Now you must get on with the layout!

I'll help you operate it, at next years Cardiff show.....

Marc

Hi Stu,

Great to hear that you're still keeping up with producing layouts!

At your usual prolific rate, you'll have finished it in a week!!!!

Randy's right (of course he is!) that conveyor system looks great - but I'd like to see you model a chap who walks out of a bothy + couples/uncouples the wagons too! (Just kidding).

Good news, Bracty Bridge (or Roath Minor) has its' 1st show - Cardiff this W.E.

and Hornby Mag want me to do a short article on it......

...and its all YOUR fault! :)

All the best mate

Marc

Hi Wayne,

Good news re Dragon Steels! Can't wait to see it grow!

More good news re Roath Minor - The show invitiation has prompted me into action!

I've all but finished the scenery. Plus, I've added a photo of some terraced houses to the "distant" view under the bridge. It has worked really well, & I'm pleased about it.

I've got some work to do before the Cardiff Show this W.E. - So I'll post updated pics as soon as that's over & I get time to take the pics (using image-stacking software, to increase depth-of-field)

Also, Hornby Mag have asked me to do a short article on the layout!!!!!

So you should see the layout in the rm press soon!!!

Cheers

Marc

Hi Matto,

C'mon, you must exhibit the layout

(this is my first post since the big move!...hope it works....I'm still tryin to find my way around!)
