Nothing beats the effect of invididual slates. Strips of card don't look as good as this!

Model Railway Layouts by Chris Nevard @ fotopic.net
Taken using a Nikon NIKON D200
It's amazing what a bit of paint can do. The paintwork is still in Southern Region colours. I remember the Southern Region green paintwork quite well and it never looked like what we see on preserved railways for very long, but took on a dusty copper oxide colour (Humbrol 120). The cream or more correctly 'stone', again I always remember this as a pale shade which is nothing like the custard colour often seen, for this I used Humbrol 148. Previous | NextMidland 1P 0-4-4 No. 58086 (Craftsman kit) is seen here in a mock-up of the site of the level crossing. The Glastonbury canal can be seen to the right, it will look a little like it did at Bason Bridge next to the dairy with addional supports in the earthy bank to stop the railway sliding into the River Brue (or Glastonbury Canal in this case). In the immediate foreground the road will cross over the canal via a bridge. Once the road passes over the railway it will fork sharp left and disappear round a bend behind some trees or bushes.
