    I expect you will see this in Facebook but here it is: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1228556054271395&set=gm.511095356832292

    I'm pleased to see you getting back to some of your own modelling, and relaxation. And I will follow progress on the shed and mill with interest. Keep up the good progress!

    Books sealing with other scales can help too e.g. Parts 1 and 2 of this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/7mm-Railway-Modelling-Part-Introduction/dp/1874103313

    I'm not a great fan of 'colourisation' but it can sometimes help to identify details better.

    Very true! Please see my Atlantic Dock thread and this Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/stephenwolstenh/inspiration-for-atlantic-dock-7mm-scale-diorama-of/track-setts-and-creating-surfaces/

    Good , interior, colour pictures of MDHB sheds are not very common so I was pleased to buy this slide recently:

    A rare colour view near the Pier Head by David Pool. Taken after demolition of the LOR but too good to ignore!
  9. Stephenwolsten
    A splendid MDHB/LOR picture showing how the LOR was squeezed in along the dock wall with some tight clearances.

    Does anyone have any other examples of digitally printed backscenes like this one please? https://albionyard.net/2013/11/22/warley-the-digital-backscene/

    This picture includes so many typical features of the Liverpool dock railway scene - short wheel-base shunters, sharp curves, stone setts and inlaid track, the Overhead Railway, dock gates on the 'dock road', small engine sheds/workshops, and tall warehouses. (Copyright now S Wolstenholme).

    One of my latest acquisitions - an unusual view of the MDHB's mobile crane garage in a transit shed. Can anyone identify the van please? (Copyright now S Wolstenholme).

    It's always good to see new images emerging after all these years. Richard Beamer has kindly shared these newly scanned slides of a trip at the end of MDHB rail services in the north docks. The area represented by 'Atlantic Dock' was completely covered by setts, which poses a problem for modelling this large area. The top picture shows that setts were replaced in some areas but not within the track, but am I willing to compromise in this way to save time and money?!

    The final version of the concept sketch by Cal Hewitt - @hewitt_sketches.

    Rather late in the process, but here is a rough version of a concept sketch for Atlantic Dock. Copyright/drawn by Cal Hewitt, a Liverpool architectural student.

    Construction of the first 50ft span of the Overhead Railway.

    Thanks for alerting us to this publication. I have publicised it on the LNWR Society's Facebook group and on the Gauge 0 Guild's Forum. I remember the article on perspective modelling!

    Do you have the source of these Seaham pictures please?
  20. Stephenwolsten
    I hope you don't mind me posting one of my Rocks by Rail videos here. It rather fits with the theme.
  21. Stephenwolsten
    This negative of a Pug running north along the MDHB near Princes Dock and under the LOR is my latest purchase:

    Thanks for your interest and information. I will pass your comments on to the VR LOR builder (I am only doing the 7mm dock diorama). I have been reading about staff housing on the dock estate and the reasons why accommodation was provided in a few cases. Paper here: https://www.cnrs-scrn.org/northern_mariner/vol13/tnm_13_3_21-32.pdf. And I photographed one of the sheds in the 1980s when it was surrounded by abandoned lorries. Here is a link: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/415386765632903195/ Stephen.

    Here is the start of an ambitious project to digitally recreate the length of the Overhead Railway, complete with docks, goods stations, MDHB lines etc.

    With no shows, no Ian Allan shops and no visits to W H Smiths, I am feeling out touch with latest railway publications and those in the pipeline. Is there any easy source of information please, other than registering which each of the recognised publishers? Of the remaining bookshops, which have the best newsletters covering new releases? Thanks SW
