I think some layouts suffer from having too many figures especially on platforms. Looking at period photos it is interesting to see how few people are about most of the time.

Nice touch with the herring and black headed gulls :thumbs:. At least you haven't deigned to model one in flight with the obligatory black rod as seen on many other layouts :headbang:.

Although the herring gulls appear over scale they are in fact big birds with a wingspan of 1.2 to 1.6m. This is a female herring gull I photographed when we moored at Douglas IOM waiting for the lift bridge at the entrance of the Marina a few years ago. The deck plank she's standing on is about 4 to 6'' wide.

Some time since I posted. A couple of models that I have been working on (very slowly) the bodies still need attaching to their chassis's. The backdated D6xx Bulldog and the class 120.



Bulldog has arrived at Kingsbridge and picked up the full brake ready to return to Wencombe to pick up the milk tankers at Wencombe Creamery and onwards to London

The class 120 waits for the milk train to clear the section before departing for Cardiff

Alan and Dave, that reminds me of the classic quote from Spike Milligan:

When, as a young conscript he embarked for North Africa, a fellow squaddie that had obviously never left town, let alone gone to sea, loudly exclaimed;

"Cor, look at all those great big pigeons!"

Spike corrected him; "They're GULLS!"

"Oh" the lad replied, "Guys or gulls, them's is still big pigeons!"

Give me a little time - the thread was/is an inspiration so I'm slowly pulling some of the images back to rebuild the thread.
