Congratulations for another mention in Model Rail this month.

The more i look at this layout, the more i fall in love with it.

Thanks, Stew.

Hi Dave, where did you get those backscenes with the buildings on them from?

Hi Dave, where did you get those backscenes with the buildings on them from?

I made them. The backscene is simply 3mm MDF sprayed with white emulsion then a grading of pale blue onto which I have pasted various bits of building images that I have found on the interweb, scaled and printed on the PC.

Cheers
Dave

Things have been a bit quiet on this thread but today our roving photographer was down at the yard watching the preparations for a trip to Tonbridge next week and managed to catch the first 70 hauled service through the area. There's ugly then there is the class 70!



70006 has already started to accumulate grime!

Cheers

If it didn't have the two yellow lights(?) below the white ones on the front, I think it would look a lot better, but I quite like it.

This is my opinion

Aren't those buffers?

Yup high-vis yellow spots on the buffers, although it seems a bit pointless considering that the whole front cab is high-vis yellow. If someone can't notice that then the buffers surely are the least of your concerns! My she is a beast, still she looks good in that setting and it's nice to see something from Cramdin Yard.

Cheers,

Stuart.

It does look rather good doesn't it? If I hadn't have known I would have sworn the shot was real!

Cheers,

Stuart.

Maybe a rating for good stuff:

• 0. Umpph.....
  1. That's good.
  2. That's very good.
  3. That's brilliant.
  4. Is that a model?
  5. I'm sure that's not a model!

In which case that photo gets a 3.75 from me

Kinda remind me of the old Fiat Multipla, angles EVERYWHERE

We used to call that the spaz mobile...

Great pic Dave from a great layout. I think the 70's will gradually grow on people. I imagine its a good powerful and good running model. Probably pull just about everything you could hang on it.

Saw this layout in the flesh today at Tonbridge, it looked really impressive, and much bigger in real life than I thought it was from the pictures here.

Cracking layout.
