Shot of fellow Desperado Bernard Henri's  'Port de Carhaix'. Reseau Breton and a whole lot more!

This is all great stuff, the shot of the canal loch brings back great memories of a holiday on the Nantes - Brest canal some twenty years ago. Magic,
Mike

Lovely shots but please only 009 or H0e.

Your point is made in the right context John but I think a little more flexibility to match the scale bracket that the Society recognises would be more appropriate, otherwise some excellent 00n3 (and of course HOm!) models for example would be inadmissable. I don't think things have changed since I was a committee member, when I think I remember the family of scales catered for by the Society was 3mm to S, or TTn3 through to Sn2 with 3

Duly noted, John. Sorry, I had forgotten about that whilst off looking through my photos for candidates.  I've removed the ones outside the spectrum covered by the Society.

YOU ROTTEN LOT!! ;D

And there was me about to drop a photo of my big Shay on here to see if you were all awake! ;D

Ah well, I'll just have to make do with this high angle view of Mynydd-yn-Bwlch, taken from the hill above the station instead.  'Snowdon Ranger' has arrived in the platform and is awaiting the arrival of a down train from Tawel-Llety before continuing the journey.  Meanwhile the following up working from Llanmynach is a train of empty slate wagons and on this occasion is in the capable charge of 'Cackler' which is bouncing enthusiastically through the loop road on the way to the mines.  I do wish I'd put another loop in here as I'd originally intended, as per Tan-y-Bwlch on the FR because it would have made shunting so much easier if it had been possible to retain a run-through as well.

...Henk Wurst's models are bloody fantastic though, aren't they?

Don't call him wurst. If he were on this forum which luckily for you he isn't, he wouldn't make wurst but mincemeat of you.  ;D

Can I add a photo of my own which I always liked? It's an unusual view of a hidden spot on my layout.

[pilotfriend]

I made that mistake ONCE before and got corrected and since then I remain totally confused.

Ted, please spell his name in BIG LETTERS for me! ;D

I think that's one of my favourite views of the C&DR, Ted.

The headland is my favourite part of your layout.  I like this shot I took of Mick's cattle train whilst we were at Valkenburg...

HENK WUST

That's right, Henk Wurst! ::)

Ted, that hidden corner is exquisite

HENK WUST

Just don't try saying that in Haags!

[tedp]

Thanks, all. Here's another view across the headland:



Saying HENK WUST in Haags is useless. It won't sound any different, and certainly not like wurst.  ;D

Hey.. you didn't live where I lived :-)

Then let me add another view of Henk's Castle Rock. Photo by Jan van Mourik.
