From 2009  Tetleys Mills - Dave who is no longer with us

A great layout and a great  choice from the guy who's always first on stage - well done Sol.   :pathead

"The view from the bridge"

Super.

Bill

This has got some atmosphere  Ben Alder far north layout.

I'll second the far north line. Lovely layout.

My selection this time is from John Dew's "Granby" layout.

The urban setting and the run into the station over the viaducts looks incredibly realistic.

Thank you Peter that is very kind of you but in all honesty (and no mock modesty)  I believe my nomination of Michael's "Market Square" to be a better choice.

Much as I idolise and worship all things Tetley Mills,I can see no further than that excellent shot of Granby!!! Modelling masterclass from John Dew!(All the selections are magnificent though.)

Gets my vote. 

I'm going to be a bit contentious here…..
This is a marvellous view of John's hotel, and a worthy nominee.





But
I would choose this as my photo of the month,  Current and an absolute master class and easily my favourite image of the build……

I give you John's hotel….. from the front.  I love the way it echoes buildings around it and, deliberate or not, the square tucked away now looks even more interesting and realistic.  A busy, bustling, beautiful scene.  And it's got the Tardis!




However, I fear this will split the vote…..

I have the same problem at Teasel! There is a resin shortage! 

More work for the Boss again this time around.

We have a tie for the May Picture of the Month between Michael's "Faversham Creek" (as was - now The Kent Coast Railway):




And this one from John Dew's "Granby Junction"  layout:



Over to you Alan ……………. :cheers

Just awaiting the decision  :hmm. ( He's busy atmo  :thumbs). Tension building. . . . . 
Mind you IF I could figure out how, both would be up  :cool wink

Ok no reply from Alan ( think hes busy this weekend  :thumbs). So we had a dead heat between Granby and Kent Coast Railway. 
Both also had more than one picture nominated so I did some market research, long statistical analysis and other in depth studies and finally came up with a winner ( slips coin back in pocket)  Ok actually I couldn't decide so it was declared a dead heat. . BUT Granby won back in October of last year with one of the two pictures nominated this Month so I'm sure John wont mind at all that this Months winner is Michael with his 





A worthy winner I'm sure you all Agree  :Happy


Cheers

Matt

Thank you, I'm both chuffed and surprised.  I feel a bit of a fraud, "winning" though, as John's superb hotel got more votes overall - it was fantastic from both the front and the rear!
