    A good opportunity to have a sighting board or painted bit on the bridge for that signal? Embankment and bridge both look pretty storming from here!

    Absolutely mental. In a good way!

    That looks really good. I am sure I have no more left as I found the empty box today whilst looking for something else! Glad to see such fine progress, i have been eagerly awaiting developments following the last entry.

    The second picture looks like my "finished" entry!

    Also colours varied quite a bit as paint mixing on goods stock was very much an on site job. Colour reproduction in photos is another moot point, all look great from here!

    A bit of lead in the bogey to aid adhesion might help too. I have done this with the pony trucks on my prairies.

    I have lots of pictures of the Kingsbridge goods shed and Kris on here has scale drawings for Gara Bridge and Avonwick if you would like them PM him or me. Good plan too, did he produce a standard goods shed design or was that a bit beneath him?

    How about " Buster Voyager and his un feasibly small vestibules"

    Anyone fancy writing a modern version? Perhaps in VIZ?

    Just a thank you to all posters, to say how wonderfully evocative the pictures are for those of us who missed main line steam and are lapping up the atmosphere!

    LOL, Not mentally anyway. Nowadays if I sport that get up people think I am in an AC/DC tribute band!

    Count yourselves lucky, I had to wear this lot in the early 80's! Never mind shed bunking, getting home alive was an achievement, and in true 50's style the shorts were itchy wool and had to be worn even in winter.

    I have got a Bachmann 2251 in readiness for stopping work on Mondays next month, which I intend to fit with ultrascale wheels to join the fun.

    Lets call it TS2! This country desperately needs infrastructure investment if the rest of us who don't live in the South East are to have any chance of equal growth and those who do live in the SE are to stand a chance of staying out of a green belt swallowing megalopolis!

    Very nice work- I like the tonal variation in the scatter on the fields, beautifully observed.

    Looking very smart, the interlocking bricks look very good. Dry brushing something that size will take less than 5 mins, I guarantee the time spent will be repaid in improved finish. The work on the building design deserves that bit more effort on paint IMO.

    Wow, to all of it!

    That is a beast of a plow! Looking at weather reports this week we could do with a few like it on the roads.

    I thin the Citadel foundation paints by about 30% especially for this sort of job. If you add a tiny bit of washing up liquid you can slow down the drying time. Personally I do the mortar wash first, then dry brush the brick colours, then add tonal variation to individual bricks. This works on 2mm scale brick so should work fine in 4mm.

    The only problem I had with the mesh was clogging the holes with glue. Araldite rapid worked best as you could apply it to the frames or posts then clamp the mesh to it. Paint has to be done thinly too or it clogs up the holes as well. If you are modelling more recent weather you could just dump an entire watering can full of water over it all, regardless of season!

    Managed to play trains on SBL for an hour today!

    Did you get a white cat to go with it? Nice results.

    Love the HST set, I want one....

    Dude, nice pot(s).... Like the cobbles too but there were less punning opportunities.
