MrWolf Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Excellent piece of modelling. Your photos show it off very well. The station building reminds me instantly of locations such as Culkerton and Shipston on Stour. 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Just remembered where I saw the lamp, it was based on the wind down lamps made by the Tilley Lamp Co and pictures can be found in the series of books by Stephen Williams on GW branch line modelling Book 2, page 57. These three books are excellent and have a immense about GWR infrastructure, stock and modelling etc. Use them all the time. Highly recommend if you can get them. Normal disclaimer just a satisfied customer Edited June 8, 2020 by KNP 4 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal disclaimer just a satisfied customer Many many thanks. I hadn't notice the lamp/light in your other photos, but most likely that is my short-coming. Looks like I'll have to go back through the last 270 pages again. As you said, I might be a while. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, was the ram organically farmed by a couple of ex graphic designers? As for TRAIN station, I'm sticking with it being a searing indictment of the state of the British education system, who state: "It doesn't matter if the words are spelt wrongly or used incorrectly as long as they get the message across." Which is why you get such things as "were?" Instead of "where?" Or "there" instead of. "their". Such things are only an indicator of much greater issues. This country has truly gone to s@%# in the last 50 years. I wasn't around in the 50s/60s, so all I have seen is steady, inexorable decline. If you say anything, you get beaten with the "extremist" stick! Do Buses not call at BUS stations as opposed to road stations? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony Teague Posted June 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2020 Kevin, I'm intrigued. Whenever I click to look at Little Muddle it takes about 3 or 4 times as long to load as any other thread. Is it because of the 'weight' of your followers, the size of the images that you upload or that the Little Muddle servers are running on low quality coal I wonder? Or could it be that followers of this thread are also being tracked by MI6 who need time to check credentials before letting us through! Needless to say, it is always worth the wait, but it seems an odd exception. Tony 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
