Another station on the Devan and Summersett

That's an improvement.  :thumbs

Yep - that looks better Sol.  Did you take a low-level shots like the earlier one ?  It's from a low angle that we usually see tracks so that would give a better idea of how close to the real thing it looks.  I'd guess, given how good the weed shot was, it's not a million miles away now :thumbs

As Iansa said, I don't think weathering ever does stop.  Certainly when I look at photos of me taken only last week, I realise it doesn't !!!

Here is the low level shot after weathering - doesn't show as much as the helicopter view in my opinion.

Before weathering:



After:-

Looks very effective and a superb improvement on the overall effect.

In looking at those two photos Ron, I agree with you, it doesn't show up. At least not enough.

So your right again the weathering never stops!  

Wayne

Agreed Wayne - at low level, it doesn't really show Sol.

After studying it, it's the "clean" ballast that stops it looking dirty.  In yards and stations, down the centre line, the dirt was really plastered on wherever an engine might stand - literally "plastered on".  You couldn't see much in the way of ballast.  On the running lines, the ballast was clear enough to see but it was either a grey/rust colour (presumably from the constant dripping water from steam locos), or black/brown from the oil and grease thrown off the engine, wheel bearings and axles etc. then as Max said, right up close to the rails, there would be the rust coloured bit - a run-off from the rails themselves.

Wayne's right - it needs more ………….much more…….:roll::roll::cheers

OK, back to the dirty brush again - sdmething to do this coming weekend as it is going to be hot azel - 36 & 39C

Nice work, Sol!

Best, Pete.

There's something about the color green that just sets off the layout. I really need green!

Wayne

. . . and Mr Cricket (Mike Hussey), a century as well.

100th Test at the SCG - and Sachin Tendulkar is up for his 100th hundred - whoops!  No; dropped.

 

Looking good Sol!

One step at a time and things do get done.

Great Shot Ron. Seeing the whole station together like that really underlines how all the buildings group together so well.......lots of atmosphere:thumbs
