Winslow Boy Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 That's going to make life complicated when the station master cries out Oh You. Even more so when his wife runs out and starts shouting Youhu to attract his attention. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted March 16, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Modelu figures 4 & 6 (L to R in earlier picture) won the selection and are now residing in their new home. Tried to take some pictures in the Dining Room using natural light but guess what, its gone dark as I was setting up and is now raining hard.....! So this is the best of the dozen pictures I took, rest will be scrapped until a brighter day.... Did have to do a bit of 'tweaking' to get the colour, shadows better but here she is ready for action.... Edited March 31, 2022 by KNP 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gedward Posted March 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2022 Anyone else had trouble accessing RMweb yesterday? The only way I can access through Google Chrome, is by I constantly purging the history, quit and restart. Very annoying I must say.

Popular Post KNP Posted March 18, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) And now from the roof of the creamery where this shot was captured from.... I am not sure what has happened to the ties bars on the two Mink's as they have gone all wibbly wobbly? Not been out of the storage box for a while and this is how I got them out, tried to straighten them but to no avail......looks like another project has been identified to replace them with some brass strip.......(one day!) Edit.....or could I glue some thin brass strip behind them to strengthen....now there's a thought? Edited March 31, 2022 by KNP 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted March 19, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Train now arriving is a not stopping, Express freight passing through, Stand clear of platform edge.... Two pictures today as I couldn't decide which I preferred so following standard procedure here are both of them for you to decide.....each a slightly different angle, apart from the loco of course which I believe is quite obvious!!

Andrew P Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 No 1 for me, far more subtle. I tried to get on yesterday to post on Bute Road, but it took for ever, so I gave up in the end. I do like my daily dose of Little Muddle though. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponthir28 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 No1 for me. Don’t know why but for me it looks like the train is coming along at speed. Well at about 30 miles a hour. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day doesn’t start right without the first mug of coffee of the day and a catch up with what’s happening, or not, at Little Muddle. yes RMWebb was not in a good place yesterday but well done to all involved in sorting the issues out as it seems to be playing nicely today. Maybe the team could tackle the off loading of the crate ………….. or even the engine shed door. Brian Edited March 19, 2022 by Dragonboy 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t want to rush these things, need to give it some thought as to how to unload the crate and fix the door….. So let’s get that kettle on …..? …..? Any idea where we put it???? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why it’s taking so long to unload. Can’t start until they’ve had a cuppa. Can’t have a cuppa until the crate has been unloaded.

BroadLeaves Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 4 hours ago, KNP said: for you to decide. I'd say the first one, because: A) The sharper angle of the platform edge from vertical in the first subtly implies movement. The scene's vanishing point is higher up than the second, which to my mind takes it away from "landscape" (where you have plenty of time to compose the shot) and into "action" territory (where typically you have very little composition time), just as would be the case if you'd heard the train coming and grabbed the camera with a few seconds to spare. B) The much clearer view of the far platform gives a greater sense of depth. 1 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
