Here's some new pics of the tramway leading down to the washery and screens.

 
 



 

They are superb Phil………I remember discussing them when you first got the etch…..you have created some brilliant models from it……they look very authentic in situ:thumbs

Thanks John, here's another couple, the close up shows the dram damage.

 




 

A couple more with some added figures and a cut down dram known as a Blewit.

Something different.  :thumbs

And something different :)

 

Phil,

So much of this thread is 'new' and 'different' and throughout you have been unstinting in your explanations and 'Owididits.

It really has been worthwhile reading again from Post No.1,

Very enviously,

Doug

Thanks Doug.

This picture was done using light photography, basically, a completely dark room, the camera had already been focused and set to  f22 and 8 secs exposure, a small torch light was waved around the area that needed to be lit. After this I added a dark sky, I forgot to light the lamps so light was added, a few focusing tweaks etc and it was done. The sky was nearly all black so some artistic license was called for with a replacement, I could have left it as it was but the new sky was more interesting.

Phil

It started out as a road bridge but because of the curve and narrowness, also the three track span it proved too difficult to do so it was converted  to a public footpath. I'm still not too happy with it but because of the limitation, I think this is as good as it gets :roll: No plans, i'm just making it up as I go along. The middle cut away section will be timber….I think:???:

Hi Phil,

The pic in post 487 is fantastic. :thumbs Definately a Jig Saw of the week !

I like the idea of a pedestrian bridge, not too wide but it does create a scenic break. I guess that this bridge will be treated with the same stone work as the road bridge further up the line ?
Just a matter of interest, you could consider a set of steps returning along the wall down to the railway, if it could/would fit…?



Cheers, Gary.

 

 

Well phil I have to say the photographs are brilliant - well done

Paul.

 

Thanks Paul!

Gary, good idea about the steps, they should just about fit in there, as for the stonework, yes, the same as the other bridge. I think the wood across the bridge itself should look good, I'm also thinking of a bricked up arch and a lockup arch to the right of your steps.

I'll second that, even though I'm awful at the jigsaws.

Brilliant picture :thumbs

Cladding started, steps will have handrail later.

 



 




 

What a beautiful railway, built with imagination and soul.

A classic if ever there was.

Allan

Thanks Allan appreciated.

 

I haven't done this kind of modelling for some time, I had forgotten how long it takes….just sticking a bit of cladding on :lol:

 

Phil

The bridge will be a great addition……I like the steps and lock up:thumbs

The night photo is stunning:doublethumb

Thanks John,

Because of the lack of space in front of the tunnel ( baseboard  corner edge ) I might add a few inches in the future, that should ease things.

Phil

Some more cladding added including the steps. The coping stones next on the top of the walls, then the woodwork across the bridge itself, railings to the steps and then a think to see what i've missed!

Nice job there Phil on my favourite railway but I reckon you'd need a stairlift to get up those steps !!:oops:

Cheers.

Allan
