If you want moss to grow you'll just have to move 'Up North'

Some pics from this afternoon running a goods pulled by my Baguley 'Blackbird'

Precisely the look I'd like! The bridge picture could be in the woods in the middle of nowhere!

There is a hint of moss starting to appear here, down South!

You can grow moss with Yoghurt can't you?

Not neccessarily, some parts of the MVR now have a enough of the stuff to do a passable impression of the early days of the Talyllyn!

Funnily enough I'd say Midge's line is loking much more realistic now the the ice and snow has killed off some of his vegetation. Now we just need a meths fire to burn off all of the dead stuff. The PTLR staff are visiting tommorow...!

I'm just repeating what everyone else has said here, but those photos are great, really believable!

I don't have a website but there should be a load of pics coming up soon on the photo section from a fantastic 'steam up' today.

Sorry to Bungle up your post Ian...

Ian - We'll all be very interested to see them. You've had a few published in 16mm Today I think? Is the viaduct with the L and B locos on your line?

SLRmidge · Post by **SLRmidge** » Mon Mar 08, 2010 9:57 am

The pics that I & Laalratty took are now in the 'photograph' section.
The viaduct shot in SMT was taken at PTLRcecils in Cumbria, its a fantastic concrete structure. The front cover's bridge shot is on my line.

I love the way the editor commented on how he consistently spells your name wrong, and then manages to spell it wrong again in the caption for the L&B shot!

It was a cause of great amusement in the NWAG when SMT arrived, as was LMSjools getting his name spelt incorrectly on the DVD

NWAG, the area group of misspellings!

Looking brill there! Nice to see some green emerging! The NGG16 really makes 32mm gauge look narrow!

Pendo Pilot · Post by **Pendo Pilot** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 1:43 pm

Wow, that looks good. (Obviously not as good as my SM32 chucked on a patio railway of course

)
No really nice already. Have you got superelevation on those curves, it certainly looks like you have cant.

ianfolland · Post by **ianfolland** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 1:54 pm

A bit of green emerging at last!!

All the curves have a bit of superelevation, though not as much as there used to be at Harbour Station on the FR!!
