some colour has arrived in these network rail JJAs

Not sure what has generated so much interest but trouble seems to follow these guys.

Thank you No, leaves no reidue

Interesting to me how different parts of the hobby hold my attention sometimes. Now that Gloucester Road is largly complete I find myself drawn to various other aspects of what makes this a great hobby. I enjoy all aspects of it, design, building, completion(?), operating; then photographing it, improving my skills by building dioramas (now at 5),photographing those, then conversion to dcc and sound (so much to learn), learning basic weathering . Learning aspects of the real locations and how the 1:1 railways work. So many things to learn and enjoy. At the moment I am enjoying painting N scale 3d printed figures from Modelu and Finescale figures (16 painted so far). What is even more fun is the character that comes with these figures; with the addition of Tacky wax these can be moved around and take on a life of their own. What a great hobby this is

we have a few questions for you.

Trainspotting

deep discussion about something

wonder if his picture came out well

inspired by a picture on the class 57 thread 57309 was seen dragging 37409 to Woodland Heath. Looks like somebody has lost something then there was an issue shunting the 37 in to the shed.

Yes, 10mm

Andy C here you go. Had to go back into the archives 😀 #

Looks like somethng has gone wrong

Casually leaning against the wagon, Greg wondered what was taking so long.

I see the pictures on page2 havent loaded. It was made as a seperate piece and in theory could be pulled out. Card with brown paint for shallow bits, balck for deeper water, built a tub with tape, poured resin, blew onto/poked with a skewer while it was drying for ripple effect, cut down tape, covered with grass.
