Shortly afterwards, as it lurches across the last part of the curve, it also passes the A3, which need not be in a hurry to move as the train stops here for eighteen minutes. 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely work from Mr G Train, and it really has enhanced the layout to a great degree. Yes, it had occurred to me at that there was a double bonus for one of our regular visitors.😉 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 25, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2023 Something has landed here this morning. Is it a bird,? Is it a plane? No, it is......... Unfortunately the camera is too big for me to be able to get the whole tree in on the angle of that one image we had, but this gives a very good idea of how it looks in situ. And of course I had to take some more. This one, I think, does show how close 4D model shop have come to an exact replica of that very unusual tree, and I cannot speak too highly of what they have achieved for me. This is effectively scratch built. Great job, and great service. Just one more image, for now at least. 37 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Tree suddenly gives a great sense of proportion and contrast to the whole section of that layout. Brilliantly made too G. Phil 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, it looks much more like a hedge than any others I have seen for sale. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 26, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2023 Coming to Saturday's last workings now, and we have another Doncaster to Peterborough stopper, another New England V2 coming home. Unexpected sunshine today meant that I could take some more pictures, and draw the sequence to a conclusion, so we will be going back to Friday happenings, unless its Thursday of course, or possiblty even Monday. It all depends on what excuse I need at the time. 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 27, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2023 Now we have a well cleaned KX V2 on ECS. I'd like to give some more detail, but that is all the slide tells me, and the tablet is playing silly bu**ers with me at the moment. 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 28, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2023 Oh dear! Wi Fi problems, so the tablet still won't let me access the sequence. Technician coming tomorrow. Just the one image again taken from Crescent Bridge, but BT. Does this look as though it was taken in fast fading light with sunset approaching? Or am I doing self delusion again? 30 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I doing self delusion again? One of things about the plethora of pictures from similar angles is that it gives us a chances to focus on different aspects of pictures that are very similar. Something in the lower picture that I’ve never appreciated before ( probably because I am focussed on the trains ) is the amazingly different textures and colours of the ground and ballast, both from left to right and top to bottom. Something that a lot of us can probably learn from. 5 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 28, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2023 Tonight we have a V2 going round the bend. I don't think I've tried this angle before, but with careful cropping on the right hand side it looks OK, I think. It also needs very little shopping, and I certainly like images that do that. 36 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
