    56084 moves off

    From the album: Skew Bridge - Attic Railway

    Having been stopped at the signal due to a shunting movement in the sidings 56084 is given a green light and moves off under full power. It's a busy moment as another loaded MGR train passes by on the up line.

  6. I've photographed a variety of stock over recent days but my overwhelming inspiration for the layout and its setting was coal traffic and in particular MGR's. I probably went a little over the top putting together four full rakes of Hornby MGR wagons, especially when I can only run two of them at any one time, but I wanted to see loaded and empty sets running round simultaneously with the additional sets stabled in the sidings or waiting in the down loop. So today I removed some of the subjects from previous photo sessions to make room for me to photograph some MGRs and I'll include 3 of those photos here with some additional ones added to my photo gallery page. Large logo BR Blue liveried 56084 makes its way along the up main with a loaded MGR set as 56095 heads in the opposite direction with another loaded MGR set. It may appear strange to see loaded sets heading in opposite directions but it was a regular occurrence at the time. Here 56084 is given a green signal and is seen moving off on the down main opposite Skew Bridge sidings after being held while a class 09 shunted some MGR wagons in the yard. Another loaded MGR train passes by on the up main. A lovely shot of 56084 as it powers along the down main past Skew Bridge sidings with a loaded HAA set. The MGR wagons in the sidings are being shunted.

  12. I hope everyone's well and that you've all enjoyed your Xmas holidays so far. I'm back again with another selection of photos and I must admit that I've enjoyed posing models and taking photos of them just as much as I've ever enjoyed running trains. It will be nice to be able to get back out into the garden and do likewise out there and as I've said already, it's much less expensive than buying and installing sound decoders. My Bachmann Autoballaster rake rarely makes an appearance on the layout mainly because they haven't yet been weathered and they do look kind of out-of-place as they are but I've got them out of storage today just so I'd have something different to photograph. All the photos are focus bracketed images, blended with Helicon Focus and further edited in photoshop. There are 15 wagons in the rake and they're seen here behind 66068 passing Skew Bridge To add further interest I had 56049 hauling 100t TEA tanks heading in the opposite direction No doubt I'll get fed up with doing them before long and it'll be another few weeks before you hear anything further from me but for now I'm just enjoying myself.

    Late evening pass

    From the album: Skew Bridge - Attic Railway

    As 66068 makes its way along the up line with a load of BRA/BYA covered steel wagons, 50037 heads in the opposite direction with a late evening excursion return working
  14. For those who prefer colour images rather than black & white I'll include these two 66068 on a rake of Thrall BRA/BYA covered steel wagons that still require some weathering and attention to couplings 50037 on an excursion passing the aforementioned covered steel wagons

  17. EDIT: Essentially I suppose 'focus blending' is an appropriate term for the overall process but the in-camera technique is actually called 'focus bracketing'.

  20. Back to a couple of black & white images today EWS liveried 66022 with a loaded HTA hopper set passes Skew Bridge on the up main as it makes its way to one of the Aire Valley power stations.... ...while in the opposite direction 31233 is about to pass on the down main with a short rake of ballast wagons. A loaded HAA set can be seen in the down sidings. A few additional images have been added to my photo gallery
