Many thanks for the compliments. I'll now get on and finish the other carriage - painting the interior is a bit fiddly.

Can’t you put some of your little men inside to do it after they’ve finished painting the station.

The soft glow from the carriage makes me want to shrink to 1/87, slip inside, and escape the fog and drizzle whilst sipping hot British tea. I would ride that train just to see where it went.

Then there were two - no passengers yet . I used double-sided tape to stick the lights to the roof interior - can be easily removed if necessary.
Sorry about the "grainy" picture - it was dark

Apology not required that is a tremendous picture. I think it looks just fine sitting at the platform without passenger.

I agree, very atmospheric. Good job, R-

My eyesight gets a bit grainy at night, so I'd say it's exactly as it should be.

The grain has a foggy, misty atmosphere. I wish I could summon it upon request, when doing photography. When the effect does happen, it is an accident of lighting. Two of my favorite model rail photos- one is grainy the other blurred. Couldn't have planned it that way. Back in the old days we used to have f-stops and the like, but even then one had to spend a fortune on film and throw away all the unusable stuff.

They never did fix the lamp on the retaining wall

An evening view across Manydown station and the fiddle yard.

Cracking atmospheric shots, just love the three Bulleids on shed. Great scene.
