Nice work, Brian. The rigging looks more to scale.

Good morning Brian, may I make an observation on what is a very pretty scenic layout, I have followed this since Tom's first posting some time ago.

The joint in the back scene was not so obvious as presented by Tom, and this is now accentuated by what I presume to be a light switch and a wire opening the crack further, which spoils the effect.

The additions made to the scene are in the main, complementary.  The people look naturally posed, the additional cottages look realistic, but the castle on the hill, and the shop, look out of place, and the puffer in the bay looks very toy like, even after the replacement of the string rigging.

I thought the castle when advertised looked unrealistic with it's pronounced rubble walls, and the shop is totally out of place with the Scottish scene of Plocton'ish buildings.  Any village shop would surely have been a converted cottage in that surrounding?

This may be presumptuous on my part, but I have long been a fan of your modelling, and I think you have gone a little astray with these additions.

Now I know the maxim, "Its my layout and I can do what I like", but seeing your past displays of modelling, perhaps further thought on this might be worthwhile.

Having disposed of my Glen Ogle layout, which may well be resurrected by its new owner at some time in the future, I would hope that its new owner would be sympathetic to its original conception even with all its faults.

I hope I have not offended, and my observations are given in the spirit of constructive cooperation.

Kind regards,

Brian.

the Ye Olde Tea Shoppe For me its the old coastguard lookout the was replaced when the harbour got bigger after WW1 & the harbour masters house was built & blocked its views It then became the tea room & the coastguard using the upper floor of harbour master building  

its was built Quickly in WW1by Dutch refugee which is why it looks like it dose

Its the Roco 0-6-0 from the analogue starter set with a cab from A1 Models plus a brass chimney from the bits box

[paul ludlow]

Love the new loco, I did a similar job putting a lower, more English looking cab on my Jouef decauville 040. It's surprising what you can create with a bit of imagination. :laugh:

[Brian Mosby]

Now the layout is up & running I am looking at having a open running day here in south wales would any members be up for this
