Leakeyvale Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Regret to say Peter (Broadoak) will not be posting any more - his PC became virally infected and he has severed his intenet connection. He has to clean his machine, get a good antivirus and come back on-line because we will miss him. Give him my regards and say I still want to see Two Sister's in the flesh. I was looking forward to seeing it at Toytrac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bROADOAK Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 After a lapse of two years I now have an internet connection once more, broadband this time. I have not been idle in my absence from the forum but have exhibited the layout some twenty five times. I have also made a few more items of motive power and added a few more figures. Best wishes to you all. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 This photograph was taken by Mick Thornton at a special narrow gauge model railway show last year. It shows A Fordson N warming up on petrol before starting a days work in the fields. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Absolutely beautiful. The little touches/attention to detail really make this diorama something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I am pleased you like it Mandy but it’s a bit more than a diorama, it’s a fully working model railway in 1/32 scale. Although thinking about it you are probably right, it’s a diorama with movement. A close up of the Opel Blitz rail truck leaving the yard.

Deere-est Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Great to see this topic alive again. All looking terrific as per usual Peter. I love this little slice of the Diorama Cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks for that Tris I’m glad you like it. Here’s another helping. These pictures were taken by a visitor to a two day show I did in Corby two years ago. He took pictures of all the layouts at the exhibition on the Saturday then gave us all a CD on the Sunday morning before the show opened. They are a couple of views that you get when looking at the layout from the viewing side. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Here is another picture taken by the guy who took the ones above. I assume the haze is exhaust smoke from the maroon Barclay picking up a couple of empty wagons. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I thought the area by the cold frame looked a little bare so I got the Britain’s group of figures. The dairy maid I re-painted and she is now seen feeding the free range chickens. The farmer character is standing next to the greenhouse in front of the fence just keeping a watchful eye on what’s going on in the yard. He can be seen in the previous post.

Deere-est Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Smashing photos, nice one of the cows coming in/out to/from being milked. I like the little loading bay too, like and old milk stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 The The little loading dock is very easy to make Tris it’s all made of balsa wood to fit the space I had on the layout. Incidentally I saw a photograph of your farm workshop in Model Tractor magazine, excellent work I thought. A couple more photos of tractors being serviced outside the workshop.

bROADOAK Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 This may be of interest to you Tris but I may be exhibiting Two Sister’s Farm at Newbury in 2011. I will know for sure later this year, it depends if they have got room for me. If it doesn’t happen in 2011 then we will definitely be there in 2012, I will let you know the date nearer the time. Will I need a passport for Newbury? Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Newbury? Passport? . . .. I think all you need is a betting slip and a statement of home re-mortgage!! :laugh: I'd come just to see this if the dates were good with me, Newbury is only an hour or so away from me. Thank you for the compliment, always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 A couple of pictures illustrating the small details that I think make the model look more realistic. The engine shed is made from bits of the orange and green coloured Britain’s barn kit. Cut to fit and glued together with liquid Humbrol poly cement, then painted with acrylics to look like asbestos cement. The work bench is made from balsa wood painted with thin washes of acrylic paint. The tools, vice, and tool box are Italeri and the other items are odds and ends from my scrap box. The TVO tank is an HO scale oil tank sitting in plastic supports painted to look like concrete. The sight glass is made from a paper clip. The oil drums and cans are Tamiya items.

bROADOAK Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Two close up pictures showing modified Tamiya figures. These are 1/35 scale but look quite acceptable as real people come in all different shapes and sizes. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 The first picture shows a Simplex ex First World War veteran. The real farm at Nocton had seven of these at one time. Mine is scratch built on a commercially available chassis made by Model Power. The second picture shows a Ruston locomotive, Nocton had two of these as well. Mine is scratch built with plasticard and runs on a Bachmann mechanism. The driver is a modified Siku seated figure. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 3 views showing an MF35 on test being examined outside the work shop. The last photograph showing the Opel rail truck returning from the fields into the yard. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
