Leave It Out! (or Show Us Your Leave Outs)

Post by Narrow Minded » Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:48 pm

What do you leave out 24/7/365 on your railway?

Along with all the infrastructure, fencing, crossing gates and buildings etc, I have some bits and pieces that I like to leave out around the railway, just to add that touch of "life" for whenever I look at it :D

Always prepared to crib from other peoples ideas, here's mine - now show us yours :D

The Postman Pat toys are handy, here's the truck (looks great from the back!)

The car (the driver is from the Early Learning Centre)
Image

Motorbike and sidecar
Image

and of course the Post Office Van :D
Image

This is a cheap chinese toy Landy (is that Llandy in Wales?)
Image

Scooter
Image

and motorbike
Image

This boat originally came from a gift shop
Image

as did this resin cast pony
Image

while this "kiddies ride" on Westwood Station was a comic freebie!
Image

Finally, the Loscoe bus is a cheap souvenir shop toy, smaller than 16mm / ft so used with the smaller concrete garden ornament houses for "forced perspective" at the back of the garden.

I forgot to photograph the dumper and digger toys (cos they're not out at the mo' :roll: ) - I use 'em as a visual "bookmark", placing them where I have to do some groundwork :oops:

I wish I could leave bits out............ The only things not fixed down are the engine oil dispenser, petrol can and sweeping brush in front of the Forge Garage on Over Haddon Main Street..................
