And turned into an old postcard.

As an aside, Ebay occasionally works really well. If I sell something on ebay, the monies remain earmarked for " model railway fighting fund ".
A case in point today.
I've been after a Dapol/NRM SE&CR D Class 4.4.0 for a very long time.
Earlier this week I sold a coach, one that I no longer had a use for. It was bought for £70, almost three years ago. It sold for.....£178+pennies..
I happened to pop onto eBay today and there was a D Class, described as new and it certainly looked like it. I'll obviously find out on it's arrival but it came in at around the £135 Mark which if it is as good as it was described/looked then I am very happy with that as they can go north of £200 at auction.
If it isn't as described then it can of course go back but hopefully, all is well.
With a further example of Hornby's H Class due soon, a newly tooled G Class 4.4.0 from Rapido, due later this year, plus the newly announced O Class 0.6.0, due to arrive next year, it's looking rather good for the SE&CR.

I went online and searched for free download old paper textures and this one was among them and you can also search and download additional effects as dust and scratches. I then create the image in Affinity Photo.
When processing Rob's (@Flaxfield) colour image into black and white I reduced the red filter/channel to make it appear black as if taken on orthochromic film hence the dark numberplate and reversing rod.
