Overhills and Faraway

Yes, I am back on that route again now that Bristol is on the DS. So here are a few shots.

Near the big Scrap Works.

Still on the single lines

Going round the bend...

And passing the Ammunitions Works

And taking the climb to the main lines.

Waiting for the right of way signal.

A few more to come yet, all safely tucked away on the Photobucket site, thank you.

Still on Overhills....

Switching over to the Up line.

Passing the sidings.

Coming into Cockleshell Bay town.

A view of the station and an old yard.

A panic in town, fire!

Cockleshell Bay docks.

A Class 37 Crossing Cockleshell Bay lift bridge.

Thanks to Photobucket for the great hosting.

You can do it

I wished my layout looked as good as Angela's. Great work ..

Dear Paul,
You can do it just the same, it just takes time I am afraid, a commodity most people have not got while I seem to have loads of the stuff.
I noticed, I think in another section, that somebody wanted wider grass splines because laying 2 side-by-side didn't look right. I lay lots of the same splines beside each other and find the results very pleasing and natural looking.
The ones used are either FMA or JVC, depending on what I want, but I often overlay with another spline and/or a static object such as individual clumps. This helps to break up any tendancy to look too uniform.
But I admit I do lack inspiration at times....

The best way is to look at the real world and try to replicate it, you can't go far wrong doing that. For Bristol, my WCL1/2, the K&ESR and Hayling Island I used Google Earth to view the area and tried to reproduce it as closely as possible. I use 2 PCs for this, grab the images with ScreenThief then transfer them to a data stick and plug that into the second PC so I can view each one or multiple images by linking them together. There, my secret is out!!

Thank you for your kind comments,

Angela

More Overhills

Here are a few more shots, I have been slaving away over a hot route all day so far!

The long falls as our Class 52 wends its way alongside.

Crossing the big bridge.

The bridge side view.

Passing Home Farm.

Approaching Faraway with the Naval Docks in the background.

Faraway station and part of the town, docks on the right.

And thanks yet again to Photobucket for hosting these and many other shots, they've done it again!

I was bored, reskinned a streetcar set into Stagecoach colors. I'm not sure if I'm gonna add or take to the scheme

 

[bassist118]

C'mon Isaacq thats one inspired peice of beauty there. Manc trams would look much better in that livery.

Angelah - Thats a beautifull route, your skills are and shots are very much appreiciated, you can tell by the quality that you build exibition model railway loyouts.

Hi Angelah ,


The quality of the images is really magnificent.

The freshness of waterfalls, the fabulous cascade and the environment are

to take the breath away there.

A realization and a creation deserving of an artist on the subject.

I like and I am under the charm.


Wonderful!!! :Y: :clap:


Amicably Frédo.

 

[Isaacg]

Nice shot Isaac! Where did you get the overhead poles?

Paul

I think they can be found on Josh's site tramtrainz.net... there's a singular and twinhead pylon, and 3 different decorative streetside lamps.

Fredo

Good morning Fredo,

You are too kind... and thank you for the charming way you put your sentiments.
Of course most will have noticed I forgot to change the AJS Canopy End to Barrel, that's why it is sticking up in a point!
Still more to do on this route, a couple of large bare areas to put something or other in but inspiration is lacking at the moment.
This began life as a challenge (and rather fairy-tale'ish being called Overhills and Faraway!) to see how I could reproduce waterfalls but I got carried away and it grew.....
This is a rather grandiose route but I also love the simplicity of single lines and have done at least one (two, Branchline SLW and Hayling Island). It is still scenery after all, no matter how many tracks are laid and that is what I love, creating the scene.

Still following the exploits of your routes, really beautiful scenes there, captivating I think.

Bless you,

Angela

Oh ya...in the 40s and 50s CP Rail utilized various ships and airplanes until they decided to just stick with trains.

Thanks for the info and sorry to hijack the thread. :wave:
