Sunday Snaps

 Another series of photographs,  taken during my weekend operating session.

ie playing trains ;)

BBR 1F 0-6-0T #8 Hilda with the goods train headed for Boxer Bay docks,  rounding the curve which completes the continuous running loop.   One in sepia just for fun. 

Constable Jeffries investigating a suspicious looking Jaguar, it could be "smash & grab"  Sidney James at work again, stealing some tools from de Cadenet's garage.

New Characters

 One of the most enjoyable small projects I like to do for the railway is paint some of the excellent figures that are available from many small firms,  like S&D Models,  Stadden,  Omen & many others.   I tend to paint them in batches of 5 or fewer.

 Here's a shot of Boxer Bay High Street.  Becky is just leaving the Primrose Tea Room and Mike is sitting on the bench,  with his afghan companion Annie.   The vintage "motor" is a Rio diecast Fiat.  Still lots to do to develop the village scene.

I couldn't resist taking a photograph of this scene after playing trains today.  GWR Pannier tank rounding the curve at Guys Bridge with the afternoon goods.  I'm hooked on B&W photographs !

Tunnel work

Some scenic work has taken place on one of the tunnel mouths,  nearest Windrush Junction.  Still experimenting with different materials.  This time it's dried lichen & shredded sponge "flocking".
