Totally inconsistent & unconvincing weathering on the vans, and very poor brushed gloss varnish on the loco. 🤦♂️🤣 The bridge & the trees on the other hand, are superb. Such contrasting standards are often common on club layouts, unfortunately. 🤔 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Excellent merging of the scenery into the backscene. The disguising of the opening in the backscene has been handled particularly well. https://www.railpictures.net/photo/859176/ 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Another innovative treatment of the hole in the backscene (though 3 x ES44ACs on 120 cars of grain appearing through here might look somewhat odd 😳): https://www.railpictures.net/photo/859957/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, it is a WIP, they haven't even had time to pop down the Modelu figures or any of the clutter needed to make it look realistic. The steps are a good start, though they were obviously fiddly to do which has slowed things down. Every depot has a group of three people in conversation, I mean have you ever seen such a tidy stabling point? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I will put both on the same loco. Rear cab 5_14 ? got both, might this be the replacement cab for 24055 (think it was that one but happily stand corrected) which carried both after accident damage repairs ? Nevertheless a very rare shot of the two generic derby sulzer cab fronts then a mixed up / mashed up one all together..... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmacc Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) This struck me so much I am posting for the first time in months. Doing supplier research in my job and this is on a supplier’s website. It is a picture of the picture. It is completely real but pitch shifted to the extent the curvature and profile of the track looks completely like Hornby. Ballast glued up against the rails, convincing modelu figures and Noch plant. Only those clunky frogs spoil the illusion of this being real! If you want to view the actual picture it is on the Kent Group website. Edited June 25 by ianmacc 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prototype for my layouts (wrt the ballast - lack). Looks like they have used the split cork underlay, OO version spread to encompass P4? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 They've rather crammed too much into that scene - too many levels, two & four-rail stuff, half the coaches in the closer trains are twelve-wheelers ................... a nice weathering job on that Hornby R2112 though ! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatB Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 hour ago, Rugd1022 said: Nicely airbrushed in steam and smoke effects here... I also like the use of the photographic backscene behind the retaining wall to give an illusion of depth to the scene. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibelroad Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) 2 hours ago, Rugd1022 said: Nicely airbrushed in steam and smoke effects here... I think the advertising on the retaining wall rather spoils the effect though, who is going to see it on the railway side rather than the road side ? There was a rather nice model of this section of Camden bank in MRJ 172 (2007). It was part completed at the time but I don’t know if there was any follow up.

You only have to look at Boston Lodge to see how unrealistic it looks when every last square inch is filled with track and sheds.
