Or even an ex GWR Railcar........in Green maybe..
Like all others on here I've got to know, I can appreciate good modelling whatever period, scale or company. Your modelling eye and attention to detail is superb.
My own layout is called Pencarrow, and nowhere near complete yet. Trying my best at the moment to finish off some of the many, many part completed jobs. I don't seem to have your ability to stick to something until it's finished and then move on.
Completely agree with your summary of the SE Finecast embossed sheets. They are my go-to product. Pity that most of my buildings are requiring custom stonework.
Hmmm, I’ve just conjured up a vision of a shiny Dapol Class 121 single car DMU, in green livery, with speed whiskers, ticking over in the platform.
In the background, the station building is looking a little tired now, its faded chocolate and cream paint blistered and flaking after several English summers, in contrast to the shiny “SHERTON ABBAS” enamel totem, that’s adorns a weathered concrete lamp post. A BR 12 ton van with corrugated ends and 16 ton mineral wagon keep each other company in the goods yard, awaiting collection later in the day by a grubby pannier tank on the daily goods (or perhaps it’ll be one of those fancy new 0-6-0 diesel shunters?).
Departure time comes and the DMU pulls away from the platform, its rasping exhaust being amplified as it passes under the road bridge and peace will once again descend over the station, though the blue clag from the DMU’s exhaust will hang in the air for a few minutes longer, before it too, is gone...

Thanks Rob, delighted you think so!And that is almost sacrilegious. The point would be lost. If anyone wanted a masterclass on how to model a pre-grouping railway, irrespective of company, look no further.
None of us are in a position to recall at first hand a pre-grouping railway. We are reliant on sometimes quite indifferent monochrome images. Layouts such as this bring it to life.
Rob.
Cheers Dave. I'm worse than a flitting butterfly! However, at the moment I'm exercising self control and finishing a large building started about 5 years ago. Well that's the plan.
Thanks JB, I'm delighted you think so! I just wish I had the space to do something like Love LaneIf ever there was an inspirational layout, regardless of era/prototype..
If I had the space, i'd currently have a saw in hand building baseboards.
JB.
Nice to have it all in one thread Dave, well worth looking through again.
Thank you for taking the time to post these on WT.
Take care
G
p.s. I agree very much with Rob's comments but then you know why eh !
