RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2019 Sadly I can’t claim credit for the wagon. It’s a Bachmann factory weathered wagon I grabbed off the shelf. I just feel that something in the siding overloads the scale of the scene too much. Still got another month to decide.

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I really like the little cameo in the first yard. What could they be talking about? The photo also shows what I need to tidy up! I also need to get my head around photostacking to make sure the whole image is in focus. I’ll have to consult AndyYs step by step photo stacking walk through! Edited November 25, 2019 by Captainalbino Post script 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2019 Whilst moving a few things around, I tried out the Andrew Barclay for size. Well it seems to fit fairly nicely. What about the other view? Well it seems to work. No harm in making up the other kit. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2019 I would try a pug, but the NCB didn’t have any as far as I know. Well what else to do on a cold Decembers evening, let’s make another Barclay! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo-Bo Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The Andrew Barclay does look in place on your layout, nice work on producing another 3D loco. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCB had scores of them, most of which were absolutely filthy. I believe that they repainted 'Llantarnam Abbey' at Blaenavon and the sign-writer misspelt the name so she went through the rest of her days as 'Llantaram Abbey' without the n.

I wish it was 3D printed, I could then run off a load more. Its a now defunct ARC models resin kit which was originally designed to go on a Hornby LMS pug chassis, but for this will sit on a Dapol static pug kit. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAT JAYA 185 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 This looks awesome, and full of atmosphere. I must ask, where did you get the plastic Andrew Barclay kit? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 5, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2019 When ARC models were trading, you could pick them up on eBay, but sadly they are now hard to find. It’s been sat in a box for years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2019 They did other kits too. They were on RM Web a while back but seemed to have disappeared completely: 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 10, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) A bit of progress on the Barclay. The frame has been painted and the body is making progress. I’m just waiting for handrail and door dart parts to arrive to move it on a bit further.

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 14, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2019 Test photo of the blue Andrew Barclay suitably dirtied. I had just stuck in the door dart which needs a dab of paint. Not too sure the Modelu figure approves, or perhaps she’s admiring the weathering... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marly51 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I love the details in this model, Captain Albino! Lots of interesting backyard activity and the scene is so reminiscent of abandoned railways in our cities, before they were converted to walkways and cycle tracks!

RMweb Gold Kevin Johnson Posted December 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2019 A really nice detailed model, the back yards are nicely modelled with tin baths, a wringer and clothes on a line. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 23, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2019 Trying to get the photographs sorted out for my entry. Having trouble photo-stacking but shall try again when I can get a camera on a tripod. I'll probably not use these ones but thought I'd post it here. This one gives a good overview of the diorama, but the view is a bit bland compared to others I've taken. This is the image I wanted to capture with the figure walking down the alleyway. However the out of focus bike and loco front gives me issues. Even if I could get it all in focus, the end of the fence lets the image down. Never mind, I have better photos to use, but I'll save those for the competition. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trog Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Just a thought but should the grass be a little more clear of the rail heads, if the siding is still in use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refer the honourable member to the picture I posted earlier. A line used for Class 1 drags about three months of the year in those days. The siding to the right was still in use although empty on that day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 This is such a nice little scene, there's so much detail you can peer-into with those backyards. And I love the overgrown tracks, redolent of the old Derwent Valley Light Railway in the 70's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
