RMweb Gold john dew Posted June 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2022 That is, indeed, good news - and richly deserved. Well done, I do hope we will see photos of the photo shoot. Best wishes 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I normally do, and with Seven Mills sidings I had about 50 and got that down to a short list of about 20 to finally submit. I'm looking forward to seeing and reading the results Phil. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 That looks very good indeed, I think that you have the balance spot on there, the place is obviously busy, but not cluttered. Those Airfix type telephone poles still look well when given a thoughtful paint job, I have been working on upgrading some for my layout, it's interesting to see how they look in situ. Some very inspiring photos again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that they're much better than the Ratio ones, that aren't particularly round and the insulators look like pine cones. The steps are a little better, but that's all. These are Airfix / Dapol with a bit of hacking about and plastic card weather caps. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just jammed into the bases which makes them easier to paint. They'll go in the bin as the poles go onto the layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I remember taking one of those old hand drills to the chipboard when I was about ten to plant the first batch of Airfix telephone poles! I even threaded a single line of copper wire between the tops, salvaged from an old speaker winding. That was a project that ended in disaster at the first high speed derailment! 😆 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
