Lovely pics Alan especially the first bunch, looks like you added some noise to a some of the B&W shots.

[Alan]

Couldn't res ist this.

 

[Alan]

You guessed!

 

[Phil.c]

What make is the crane in the last shot?

 

[Dog Star]

Couldn't resist this.

If that lampost was upright... then Jordan (@Jordan) would be along to ask about the authenticity of a prototype pikkie. Truly exceptional photo.

 

[Alan]

I think the crane is a Mikes Model, the reason I'm not sure is I picked the kit up second hand in a plain box many years ago.

It's amazing how cruel the camera can be. I only noticed the lamp post after I'd posted.

 

[Phil.c]

Great picture this...sorry I couldn't resist it

 

[Alan]

I like!!!!!!!!!!!! except the buffers are only a scale 20yds away.

 

[Phil.c]

So..what make loco, I assume it's not a kit?

 

[Alan]

A slightly weathered Hornby Grange. I'm afraid to say all my locos are RTR although all are weathered and have their names or numbers altered to be Newton or Laira Locos apart from the odd visitor.

In fact here we have a Bachmann pannier re numbered as 4679 arriving to take away the afternoon goods



and after dropping of the Toad picking up 3 vans for Hackney Yard



and then picking up the toad in the bay loop and waiting for clearance fro the return journey

 

[Phil.c]

Nothing wrong with RTR, I have a Bachmann Pannier, but fitted with an etched chassis, Romfords and a Mashimo motor with a flywheel, a couple of kits and RTR, the trouble with adaptions and kits is that they take a lot of precious time, I haven't run anything on my layout for over a year due to scenery making.

 

[Alan]

A couple of new views
The Goods Shed over the new wall


The bus and platform



And finally a couple of B&W shots of the goods leaving for Hackney Yard

 

[Jon Gwinnett]

First bw shot. Chapeau!

 

[Phil.c]

The Sea View Hotel shot above is great but can I add a suggestion, it's too clean as it is, the road edge is usually darker due to grime etc. I think it would add realism Alan

Phil

 

[Alan]

Agreed, but the hotel has just been painted for the season, the layout is set I late May early June so would still look very clean, at the moment I haven't got round to doing colour detailing of things like the road.

 

[Phil.c]

I love a bit of grime

 

[Alan]

4561 at the stops after bringing the 13.45 from Newton on time at 15.13



After shunting its train into the carriage sidings it picks up the full brake to go to Wencombe where it will pick up some milk tanks for the London bound Milk Train, departing Kingsbridge Regis at 15.45
