And now we are on the right route.....

Slow freight train entering Little Muddle station. Now, this angle is one of my favourite camera positions however in this instance its not correct. The idea was to bring the train into the loop, not the platform, and then back it up to drop off the Toad in the head shunt so the wagons could be shunted So I took a series of pictures before I realised I hadn't read the script....... I will include this picture as I like the angle but the next set will be correct!!

Ohh, those United Dairies transfers look smart, like the colour scheme which will now be my predominant company. Tank painted Grey White as I don’t use black or white on its own!!!! Only use them for toning….

Only three days???

Looking down from the roof of the engine shed. He's fearless you know, this photographer

Yep, just had the same message for mine

Well after all those very useful comments from Karhedron last evening I have sorted out the conundrum. The recently completed Express Dairies with an incorrect 4 wheeler GWR chassis has not just a few minutes ago been ‘tweaked’. I looked at removing the tank and repainting but decided to much damage would be done so I took the executive decision and just simply changed the chassis to an SR one though might not be correct a better option in the short term. As a side note the Peco instructions show an ED 4 wheeler as an example on a SR chassis? I also have a Dapol 6 wheeler as a UD one in the workshop at the moment, an ED 6 wheeler in the post and (hopefully) two 4 wheelers on the way for Christmas ( they will be UD as well). Hopefully a short term fix that looks better!!!

Lets have a loco profile. Here is 9319 a class 93xx 2-6-0 steaming into town. Smile please....

Many thanks for this info so it looks like I will run UD as 4 & 6 wheelers and ED as 6 wheelers only. I assume a mixed train of these would also be seen with UD being the prominent one. Though it does beg the question what do with this one I have just finished…..! I feel a tactful repaint might happen…..one day…no rush as this is Little Muddle.

Yep, definitely moving....

Just passing onwards to it's destination

Love the colours and especially the different roof shades Looks very realistic.

And we are off

Or you could highlight the road crack, repaint it to look like a road repair? Sometimes you can hide something by making it stand out.

And here are a few pictures from out train spotter friends that where out in force around the viaduct area

I did the same with my new Modelu lamps as well...the new red and white lens don't look right especially in photos.

Been mentioned every now and then I’m afraid. This a draft one that I did to check the size but it’s not working ie looks painted on and not carved. Planning to make a transfer but not right so it’s been parked and to be honest forgotten about!!!

An up and under picture taken from beside the brook.

It was a fleeting shot as the photographer past by…..vertically! He said the falling was alright but it was the last inch that hurt….!

Luckily for us one of our train spotter friends was sitting up a tree with his camera and tripod and got this picture. 9319 waiting, simmering (that's just the crew), ready for the off...... when will that signal change?

And from a lower angle we spy the lurking slow freight.

From the air we look down the valley at the stopped slow freight train.

And we come to a halt on the viaduct because of that 'pesky' signal. Least, whilst waiting, it gives us time to ponder on which milk tank wagon colour scheme.....

Nice idea but one tank is bright blue and the other white! Ends would look a bit odd…..

Past the farm we sweep....
