Thanks Bigmet. It's difficult to imagine the area on a bright sunny summer's day. I could have them playing rugby instead of cricket, and paint snow on the hills, and perhaps sprinkle talcum powder over the lot. As it is, that cricket game has lasted 3 years. Has anyone ever simulated rain on a layout? The original hill was Ingleborough, but since Pen-y-Ghent is closer to Westmorland and viaduct country it got changed. I've never climbed it.Bigmet wrote:Are you going to paint the snow on and take it off on an annual cycle?
That's altogether lovely. Great portrait of Pen-y-ghent, or as it is known to my wife's Yorkshire family, the Sunday stroll.
Thanks Glencairn. Back in the day, that road was a commute. I worked as a chain man on the M6 construction from the top of Shap Fell down to the Lune Valley, Tebay and Grayrigg. Recently I was given a Bachmann Scenecraft Goathland Station which got sequestered as "Huck's Cottage" right on the road.glencairn wrote:Lovely photographs captrees. 'Plodded' up Shap a few times myself both as a driver and passenger. Not doe the Sunday stroll, as Bigmet mentions.

That photo was taken before the railway went through, of course. But hey, we can change the geography a bit, but the seasons are harder.
