MrWolf Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 There's a fair bit of stuff destined for the platform. Maybe even one or two passengers. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted February 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2022 Your phone camera doesn't do your modelling justice, Rob. Perhaps we ought to have a whip round. Oh no, I've started something now. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the first thing I thought of, there are other possibly more important moral dilemmas.... Maybe Al’s father was asking on behalf of Al…?

I do have a proper digital camera, don't know why, I don't have a computer and the memsahibs laptop is overburdened with her work material. You don't still have access to a collection box do you?

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted February 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2022 Good stuff Rob! The photos look great I’ve got a digital camera someone gave to me a few years ago….I’ve never even turned it on, it needs a memory card (as do I) but I wouldn’t know how to use it to be honest 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I'll try a little harder with the pictures, it does bug me that I have to take five to get one. Obviously I can't keep passing it off as I'm going for a 1970s Railway Modeller / Model Railway Constructor theme to the layout... (Though some of my locos and stock had rave reviews in the aforementioned tomes.) Edited February 23, 2022 by MrWolf Stupid autocorrect 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 I used one all the time for work years back. I have a Canon of some description. It's about the same power as Miss R's I-phone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried picking one up once, but it burns! Have you tried taking a step back and then zoom in by cropping the picture to the size you want. This is a simple way of increasing the depth of field but does require a large pixel size and good room lighting. Does the phone allow to pick where you want to focus by touching the screen? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does and it's probably pilot error that I can't get it to behave on this new phone. Time for a bit of practice I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference being that if we'd have kept out of it, the two dictatorships would probably have worn each other down to nothing. I've spent some time in eastern Europe, complicated isn't the word. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 That's very nice. I do like that back drop. Just a nice plain white or is magnolia. I didn't now you'd done it. He says with tongue firmly in his cheek. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents were married 56 years until my father passed away. I don't ever recall them having an actual row. My ex-wife and I had plenty of rows but never in front of, or within earshot of, the children. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) If I put the layout against the other wall, the backscene is slightly distracting: However, there's a bit of timber fabrication taking place that may or may not be connected with backscenes...

It's perhaps fortunate that I didn't have any children with my wife. She did however put on the sweetness and light act whenever there were people around. One evening on the way home from work I bumped into one of her friends who was on her way round to our house, so I gave her a lift. As soon as I stepped through the back door of the house, dear wifey started mouthing off from the front room with her usual demands, none of which appealed. She was still loudly demonstrating her general lack of class as she came into the kitchen to see her friend standing there. So she immediately switched into perfect partner mode, hoping that nobody would notice. It was an epic fail on her part. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
