RMweb Premium njee20 Posted May 5, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2022 It’s good, but let down by the track being laid on those ballast mats. Just looks wrong, no ‘relief’ to the ballast, or even an attempt to get it closer to the sleeper tops. Should’ve tried re-spacing the sleepers too. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted May 5, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Nice locos but don't you have any coaches? And why is it so difficult to get headcode characters right? It's not like they're so complex 🙄 EDIT: where is this a model of? a quick google search for 1N83 in steam days seems to suggest a Bournemouth-York (if the 'N' means NER then it is pre-1967) Edited May 5, 2022 by keefer 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Michael Crofts Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) How to use the space well when you have a lot of height. My only niggle, and I agree it's trivial when the overall standard is so good, is that one sees those same 3 plastic sheep, a ewe and 2 lambs, on so many layouts. Bit of a cliché really.

Hibelroad Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I’ve always disliked flat gable ends being used as a back scene as I think they look so unnatural, but it works in this picture. So I thought I would try and find out why. Blanking off the chimney visible behind the gable give the scene a different look and it looks even more model like. So maybe that’s the answer, if you use flat gables add some extra details behind them to show that the world does not end at a blank wall. 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
