Cameos -- a moment in time.

[glencairn]

On my layout I try to do little cameos. Things that happen in real life. They have nothing to do with railways, but when the train passes a believable scene is seen. (Says he hopefully. )

Watching the train. Although this scene cannot be seen from the control area, I could not resist adding the little boy with his dad watching trains.

Gardening. He has a new wheelbarrow. Maybe later I will 'dirty it up'.

Cleaning the window. Life on North Road.

Asking the way Road transport is very big in my life. Before the world of Sat Navs there was always a driver asking the way.

The inquisitive boy I think we have all 'wandered over to something'.

Just little cameos. Easy to do. Just a reason why.

Thanks for looking

Good idea. Like you say, even if they are not easily seen, you know they are there.

I see the dog amongst the sheep has gone, I take it the farmer shot it.

The dog is still there, WTD. You will see it in the 'Animals' thread. I will have to move it (if I can reach it. Some of the scenery was done before tracklaying and is now inaccessible ).

I found it. Thank you.

I think cameos make a layout come alive. Here are three of mine on a row of terraced houses. A window cleaner working late. An elderly couple with dog chatting and a postman refusing to pass through gate as there is a barking dog on other side (not visible in this pic so you will have to take my word for it )

Plus a bonus pic of 3 shed workers trying to keep warm on a cold night

Excellent TWD. They make the scene unique. imo.

One of the first I did
'Changing the wheel' Max the guard dog watches with interest. In the scrap yard, Charlie Marston is negotiating a price with a prospective buyer for one of the engines.
