RMweb Premium John Besley Posted October 14, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2022 Just an idle thought... something I've noticed in travels where there's a bump in the road in older times there used to be splashes of oil stains from hot sumps (not so much these days with under engine covers) how would this work by a level crossing.... 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why thank you, that's most encouraging! I do sometimes wonder if what I'm doing is plausible enough, given that I'm pinching bits from here and there around the Shropshire / Herefordshire / Welsh borders. As you probably know, all there is at this point at the real Aston on Clun is a twitch in the road and a few ridges in the field where a platform and other structures might have been. When I started this, I wasn't even aware that the original plans, such as they were, for a light railway down the Clun Valley had even survived, or carried so much detail. PS, I do know that you are having a laugh! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I recently emailed the Kremlin: Dear Mr Putin, If you really are going to go mental and push the big red button, might I suggest that your primary target be The Tate Modern? I can assure you that it will confuse everyone into believing that you might actually have been capable of rational thinking after all.

Popular Post MrWolf Posted October 16, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2022 Not much done today, but I have been hunting for the little bits that are intended to complete the scene. I did manage to get the drains dug either side of the crossing, otherwise a pair of matching lakes would form during the inevitable monsoon. Another pass with the hoover is needed once everything dries. But I am liking how it's shaping up. I even have three rows of spuds in the crossing house garden. 28 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
