DaveW's Railway - Update
I've posted railway bits and pieces over the years, but to be honest, since I got a Morgan, the railway has taken second place. But the benefit of railway modelling in the loft is that you can leave it for long periods, and then get back into it as and when. This year I resolved to get more landscaping sorted out. Ballasting in particular is very time consuming, and requires gymnastic contortions to get into very tight and fiddly spaces. Anyway I've made a huge leap forward at hardly any cost - miniature stone chippings come cheap! So today I took a few updated photos. There's still a huge amount to do on the other side of the loft, which is un-ballasted and without scenic additions so far. I won't bore you all with captions, but just let me know if you have any questions. The location is loosely based in North Devon with a mix of Western Region and Southern Region motive power, and obviously long distance Midland trains - in the style of Exeter in the fifties and sixties.

Very impressive- I took the first photo to be an old, faded pic of a real track somewhere!

Looks very realistic Dave
Didn't know you were a modeller
I'm starting a new model tonight, converting the Tamiya Morgan 4/4 kit to a four seater in replica of my own

Been a modeller all my life Stewart. Really there's not much difference between modelling small stuff and meddling with Morgans.

I've been a modeller all my life as well but I do get frustrated and find it difficult when bolts and fastenings don't come off easily I'm definitely not an engineer nor a mechanic

What gauge is it Dave? Looks like "N" but without some thing to give the scale it is difficult to assess. Nice modelling.

Andy - it's 00, plain and simple, so everything is 'from the box'.
I ruled out N because the prices are the same for something a lot smaller!

Not 'disused' - but as the veg scatter dries it gains colour! - and the loft lighting also distorts the colours.
Camera setting was 'night portrait' which I think yellows the scene.
