Ravenglass and Eskdale............

[jefran]

If you really get into the scenery there's this garden in one of the cottages....

Yep I have noticed that one Andrew and have pictures of it for reference, a bit beyond the scope of google sketchup, but if I get down to fine tuning- I may well ask of some help there..............

Major building work around Ravenglass in progress...............





Work is coming along at a good pace now that I'm getting to grips with modelling, once Ravenglass is complete the parts in between there and Eskdale are sparsely populated so will be easier to model.

[jefran]

Looking good. Buildings and scenery are the bits which take the effort and time, but I think it's worth it. Is there a hint of a main line station in the back ground?

[kevmt]

Looking really good, David.

Can see that you've really caught the 3D modelling "bug"

Cheers,
Kevin

s there a hint of a main line station in the back ground?

Yep it will be there with appropriate trains going past- certainly sprinters, may also arrange for the occasional class 20 pairs on flask trains!

Yep sure have! Although it has to wait between firing turns- and of course you've seen (or should that be heard) what fun i can have up and down the valley!

The sprinter with the Ratty vinyls on it I hope

And a lot of railtours

Or am I asking a wee bit too much

Hmm, maybe! Unless someone can produce me a model of 48151 not made by Terry Thornton! A connecting steam excursion activity where you wait in the head shunt and greet it with whistles then pick the train up in the station woudl be a good one though. Perhaps 4472 could be used as it was a regular to Sellafield in the 1980s.

[MuzTrem]

In that case though, all the Ratty stock would have to be in 1980s liveries to match

[davidaward]

True, but I'm not making a loco specially for the purpose!!

I'm going to investigate a steam loco for connecting excursions though so watch this space....................

Quick update......................

[JonPotter]

Coming along nicely there mate, well done.

[davidaward]

Cheers Jon, its starting to come together now between firing turns...............got a couple of double framers to play with in a few weeks!

[davidaward]

A couple of new structures gone in............

Quick observation, not a critisism. The trackwork seems to 'spaced out', the distance between the track is to big

But apart from that, looks like a winner to me
