A masterpiece, both the layout and the video.

The lighting of the backscene is the key to the realism of the video.

Also, I like the close-ups of your articulated beasts at work.

A superb video John, many congratulations to Rhys, it highlights all the best parts of CG in a very fitting way. Thanks very much for sharing this. I'm sure I will watch it many times.

Best wishes for a peaceful Christmas and best of health for 2012

Excellent!  May I echo John by wishing a Happy Christmas and a peaceful and Prosperous New Year to all my readers!

I shall now see about introducing a new L&TR thread so you can all hijack and thread-drift it!

Best wishes to all!

"a new L&TR thread"

Oh good..... I can post issues of disabled access, all about cats and rants about pugs and pizzas on that one!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I am sentenced to making Chistmas food today and have been told that my workshop is out of bounds. I might make a start on the RT Peckett given half a chance!

I shall be reviewing the kit for RM BTW.

;D Hard luck!!  I'm hoping to do a bit towards my rolling stock and a new snowplough for the winter season.

As I get older, I feel more and more empathetic to Mr Scroog. Still, Rennies must do a roaring trade!

"and a new snowplough for the winter season"

I never have to worry as it is always June 1935! :D

Is that Scrooge before or after he was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past? I definitely like him better after!  ;D

Since I read between the lines that you have been ordered to the kitchen by SWMBO, I will not bother you further.  ::)

Merry Christmas to you both.

Oh, the Scroog before, for sure!

gelukkige Kerstmis aan u en uw familie

And it's always August 1952 at Llanmynach but it never does to be caught out!  Don't forget the infamous Derbyshire/Lancashire cricket match at Buxton in June 1975 when snow stopped play!  I've had a snowplough on the layout since about 1977 and it always gets dragged out of the shed in early December!  This year I should have a second plough, to be sure to be sure!

Have a great Christmas folks!

HOT TIP

Do not try to make Creme Anglais with Cravendale filtered whole milk. If boiled it goes weird with a burnt taste. 8 eggs and 1 litre of milk wasted.

Post by: Tigger on December 26, 2011, 14:45
Well if that isn't thread drift I don't know what is!  I wouldn't touch Cravendale whilst there's proper milk available!
