Love Lane, B.R. (E) c.1956-59

[S-Club-7]

Pete came over this afternoon and evening try to have the bridges in place for the Bristol show.

Message number 999 - was it a plea for urgent assistance?

 

[Oz7mm]

That’s looking the part JB. Very impressed.

Praise from the master!

Some shots of Love Lane whilst at Bristol.

Thanks Colin. Though as is usual with photographs they cruelly expose what we still have to do.

It was the first time I has seen Love Lave and was particulatly impressed by the quality of the running and operation. Although a steam driver friend of mine suggested that some of the running was too slow, listening to the pace of the loco exhausts it seemed ok to me though. A good advert for S7!

First time for me too, absolutely loved it, been following on here for a while, seeing it in the flesh was great.

First for me too, lovely work.

One thing that I also liked was the backscene and use of the operators space between it and the layout. May I ask what it was printed upon ?

No, they superbly show what you've done. Awesome layout. Whats next I wonder?

the backscene is printed on vinyl BUT it would be far better printed on cloth with a dye sublimation printer. With the proper attachments to the frame we could rid of the wrinkles / folds completely. More expensive though.

Thank you, I had an inkling it might have been. Whilst standing there my friend commented that he thought he could see a "join" but I suggested that it was a trick of the light which I feel was certainly the case, I couldn't see any wrinkles / folds but I guess its a necessity to be careful when packing / unpacking the sheet.

Overall I was very impressed with the way it imparts a backdrop to the who layout.

Your friend's eyes were deceiving him. It's a single roll 8 metres long. Apparently it took four hours to print.

I too really enjoyed seeing Love Lane at Bristol. I could have stood and looked at it all day, spotting new and interesting details every few minutes. A real credit to you all.

 

[Oz7mm]

Thank you Philip. The whole really appreciates comments, flattering or otherwise.

A recent stock addition to Love Lane, an ex LNER brake van kindly built by @7mmMick



and another signal built by Tim @Mudhen




Finally some shots of the Station Masters house from a perspective not seen by the public at exhibition.

 

[Oz7mm]

The stationmaster's house is very much Susie's work. In fact she collected it this afternoon for further titillation - I await events with interest.

Meanwhile our other lady, Jacqui has been experimenting with creating wild hedges.

Some very nice work going on there, almost tempted to jump ship and go broad gauge

That house is absolutely superb! What a joy....
