Jack374 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Nicely weathered loco on a depot diorama, but the owner clearly took the bogie frames off to weather it…and forgot about them… Jack. 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harlech this morning. Here's another picture of the layout from a couple of years ago. Stock could do with a bit of weathering and really, do you get weather like that in Wales. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 ........ an' if you've GOT to photograph the layout in your garden, for Heaven's sake don't let the 12'' to the ft heather overhang like that ! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Excellent weathering on a fictitious station somewhere in West Devon. But maybe too much furniture on the station to be believable? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SR71 Posted July 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2022 Chichester - Horsham line on the horizon but what a clichéd back scene. Could only be more clichéd if there was a castle... Over my right shoulder is Arundel... I hope the top picture conveys it. The light was weird last night so the hills looked completely flat. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love walking my parents dogs down on the water meadows down there. Often see the trains go by. Can hear them coming down the valley long before you can see them from Amberley or from Arundel in the other direction. Also, up on the top of the ridge at Burpham 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMacdonald Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The track looks nicely weathered, but the GWR 2-8-0T and coaches are far too clean to be realistic. Don't they know that the GWR 2-8-0T only worked in Wales, not in South Devon? Also, too much moss on the wall as well? 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
