Deere-est Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Looks good Ooooonly joking, as if I'd write as little as that!! Love the tracks and verges mate and the new lighting makes a difference too, makes a more ambient light. Very nice indeed. Can't wait to start my diorama shelves we talked about on the way back now. Mandy and Fraser had a superb stand up at Spalding and I think a large quantity of it will be coming my way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 the light does help no end, the last pics were taken with no camera flash but the colours look great, i guess i have lost that yellowy looking evening sunset mind that i used to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick henton Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 fen farm is looking too flat i know the fens are like that but there are places where the fields are lower than the road and vice versa so i am wanting to recreate that if i can, those mats from Mandy look ace just how a beaten up farm road should look Regards Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 WOW mate now that is good very good love it all. The sheet water looks fab in your ditches, finishes it off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 the more i look at it the more tempted i am to do the yard, break it up with a pond like the real ash tree, good for filling the sprayer from, and the ditch that used to go under the road way in on the main entrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 You've done an amazing job with the stuff you bought, Sean - it's all well and good buying the products, but you've done all the work to fit it into your layout and make it look good. And my fave bit so far.... the telegraph poles * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my fave bit so far.... the telegraph poles * leccy poles my flower, ;) tele poles will be added but along the road side of the farm, we bt guys dont do cross sountry if we can help it see pretty easy to make i must say, only dowel cut to length with a elastic between them for the wires, need to extend that line down the track now, so its finished and connect it to the workshop end to ,but am waiting to see if i lift the farm to now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Sean i always had the idea i would use cables......running the power for the lights in the sheds!.....but i think it may be safer to do it your way! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 try using the stuff they use for model railways mate, thats fine enough and flexable enough to work, the wire i use for lines ect would also work for that, them lights are what 12v if that, this carrys 50 v so is more than up to the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 well pat it may be, but seriously, the real ash tree had a pond in the middle next to the house, fed by the ditches, thats where we filled up the sprayer from, plus it would add more effects to the layout overall ,the new bit split from the old by a ditch, where it expanded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
