You know they were just rolling back and heard a bang and felt a jolt and knew exactly what had just happened.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Those scenes are splendid, Tom. Lovely job on the Baldwin to which you've added great texture with a nice warm tone. As for the figures, they are simply sublime. Rob.

Popular Post Tom F Posted February 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 Sometimes, I can be my own worse enemy. I find I can sit planning, planning and more planning but I make little progress. Making the decision to model Ballamoddey was fairly easy, the hardest part was making a start on the boards. Once I’d made that big decision and began making the boards, the ball was rolling. From there I began building up goods wagons and vans. This in turn helped to give me the inspiration to work on the first loco, No. 2. Each little part of project inspires me to move on with the next. I sometimes become frustrated that everything isn’t finished already, but I’m reminded of the joy of the journey, and how little goals and achievements help to break the project down into bitesize lumps. The Mid Sodor is going to be a big part of my modelling life going forward and can’t wait to see here this adventure leads me! 18 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a serial planning, kit-building, layout-avoiding kind of a modeller! That photo is incredible, by the way. Thanks Chris! Well, we got a step closer to a working layout today. I really can’t thank @BritishGypsum4 enough for everything’s he’s done today. For those that watched the live stream, at the Ulfstead Road end of the layout, the point’s wire droppers and frog are in place. The loop and siding points at the Peel Godred end are also in place too. Importantly though, all the isolating sections are wired to their toggle switches. Ben will be back in a few weeks time for the last bit of wiring, but in the mean time I’ll be carrying on with building rolling stock and making a start on timetable planning. 22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
