Beauty shots of the G&DR (sort of...)

Post by Sylvian Tennant » Tue Apr 18, 2017 11:02 pm

Whilst in charge of a DSLR from Uni, i took advantage of a running session with Vyv on the 'almost finished' G&DR.

I'm more of an actor than photographer but it was too much of an opportunity to let waste.

Thanks Tom, she is a beautiful looking loco that’s for sure. I have dropped little hints to my partner who is called Anne, that i would love one of these. Get the subtle hint i did lol. :lol: :lol:

She is certainly something isn't she. A Lady Anne loco is practically perfect for someone who is looking for something 'just right'.

Apologies for the time away everyone - unfortunately this line is no longer with us. :) But I have a plan in mind for the future ;)

Great pictures, cannot wait to see what the next line will be like. The RH Lady Anne to me is the second best looking 16mm narrow gauge engine with the number one spot being held by the venerable Merlin Loco Works Mayflower engine. If Ian over at Accucraft or RH would duplicate that engine, I bet it would become a very popular seller. I had hopes that Accucraft would do this in thier generic engines.

Yes the Lady Anne is a real beauty, it’s on my list has a next live steam buy.

One question, are the ticket office and station kit built or scratch built, they are nicely made. :thumbup:

I wish they were lol! The signals level, crossing and coaling stage were scratch built.

The station building, ticket office, signal box and water tower are all from Model Town. Each have been modified and detailed in some way. Most have interiors and solar powered lighting. I thought they have a nice combination of looking quirky yet functional which, for me, is a very important facet of Garden Railways.
