RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted October 3, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Morning all. A few more images this morning with some perhaps uncommon views of Sheep Dip. I think these show a bit more of the overall structure of the layout for the curious amongst us. Rob.

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted October 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2020 Lovely, just so atmospheric. Do you consider this done now Rob, or is there more you want to do? Frankly I can't see what else there could be, though. Al. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep Dip just needs detailing, perhaps more than either Bleat Wharf or Mutton. The corrugated hut to the left of the stone 'office' above also needs some attention and would benefit from weathering, which thus far, it seems to have evaded. Maybe a job for the weekend.

MrWolf Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Funny you should say that, I remember my dad talking about cycling round the quarries in Leicestershire in the early fifties. It was all gone by the time I was born, but I'm having the same kind of recollections reading this topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what model railways can and perhaps should do. I've not set out to model South Wales industrial lines as such, but I've been very much influenced by the the photos of John Wiltshire and Gordon Edgar. A layout such as Sheep Dip can be where ever you want it to be. I deliberately tried to avoid anything regional. That said, Hornby's plans this year include three South Wales based saddle tanks, all of which are on the shopping list......... Rob 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not added much in the way of detail to this little chap other than a couple of lamp irons. I want to do a bit more but will leave it for a bit. Fresh eyes and all that.

All very nice. They look so cute, one just wants to scoop them all up and keep them in a comfortable, well-heated shed somewhere. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes......and maybe another B2 as the Whiston livery matches the resident little chaps.... All living nicely together in a well heated spare bedroom in my case. My example of 7754 will undoubtedly be more popular that the real one apparently was but it's also a good deal grubbier that the real one seems to have been........but that's just me.... I do have a weakness for Pecketts.... Rob. Edited October 4, 2020 by NHY 581 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked them attributed to Norman Lockhart but didn't want to complicate things..... I've seen the draft and it all looks lovely thus far. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result as despite the industrial subject, I find that Sheep Dip is quite pretty. Rob. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
