ScR steam in the 50's
Just gone through the whole thread again, the layouts are quite stunning and the backscenes are second to none.:thumbs

You must have spent a long time studying the full size version and your powers of observation must be good to incorporate all the "little things" that take it to the top of the modelling field. I love that displaced edge stone in the first shot - together with the scrape marks that dislodged it. thumbs:thumbs
Are they outdoor shots ? If not, your lighting is superb. :pathead

Thanks for the excuse re. the displaced edging stone- it only really shows up in digital, but is one of the many that needs to be attended to. Lots to be done yet, but I'm getting there.

Please don't "attend to it" Ben - I honestly thought it was done on purpose and was one of the "details" I referred to.…………………………………………………………………….

It is perfectly conceivable that it was hit by some passing loco or wagon - even down to the paving having lifted during the event. You can even see what could be scrape marks just before whatever hit it, dug in and lifted the end of the platform. Perhaps some kind of warning barrier to keep people off until repairs have been carried out. I don't think they used that red and white tape in those days but a hastily erected post and wire fence with a "Keep Out" would do the trick.
I thought it a really nice touch. :cheers:cheers

I too thought the damage to that part of the platform was intentionally modelled for effect.
As I said stunning work.
Always try to look on the bright side of life!

A couple more from the archives now. A view of the Ratio coal shed in late evening light-
And one of the shed, with the Ratio coaling tower- they have been kind to the HR area modeller, and a view of The Mound, which I might have posted up already, but irs one I'm fond of, so we'll see it again, perhaps!
And lastly, another of the fleet- a Langley Clyde Puffer, as immortalized in the Para Handy stories.

Hmm, doesn't seem to be any different from 800x600 - baffled yet again :roll:

I have no idea if increasing to 1024 is to do with physical size of pixel density. Whatever, as you say, it seems to make no difference to either the quality or size of the image. Maybe that's because our screens aren't good enough to detect it …………….:roll::roll::roll:
Good picture by the way - I note the coach has featured in earlier shots, is it kit built ?

Another distraction recently was trying out macro shots with the camera- I've gone back to manual operation- far more fun- and here are a couple from the last day or two starting with a general shed shot.

Can you tell us a little more about your airbrushing ? It's something I've never really tackled. Paint consistency and pressure always seems to be a bit "hit and miss" with me plus, I really don't want to spend 4 hours setting up and then cleaning the airbrush just to do a single coat on a 16 ton mineral wagon …………..:???::???::???:

I,ve never noticed before, but now the bought one looks as if the rail has just been laid on the sleeper.
