Bonnet de Douche, Pencarrot.
It's a Weeping Willow again in Summer plumage. Very fine foliage.

I've had a tinker with one of the Bachmann 03s today. Nothing groundbreaking.
The little chap has had some weathering added by way of powders.
As is customary, I'll leave it for a few days before finishing it off but not too bad at present and looking quite at home in the country.

Rob, Brilliant pis and scenics as always, but a comment if I may, (AND its NOT a criticism, as could not do better) but in the last pic, the batches of reeds look a bit to evenly spaced, so maybe some bits in between a couple maybe.
Love that 03.
Hi Andy,
Totally agree regarding the reeds. I've no where near enough of them as yet. I'm waiting for more to arrive as alluded to earlier. None are stuck down as I need to remove the excess manufacturers glue from the stems. When they arrive, that will add to the mass as it were. Another fifty or so should do it.
Here's the 03 at the other end........

Hi Rob,
They are from Tasma products. Bullrushes.
The packs have 24 in each. I reckon I will use another two packs.

They look good value and ideal for a use as other garden plants if you colour the heads.

They do many others, Rob.
The Hydrangeas look okay but they also do daffs as well as leeks, cabbages etc.

Good to see you, Jay.
There's some very good stuff tucked away. Gentler pace that the other channel but lots of familiar faces hereon.
Perhaps once you've settled in you can getxa thread going ?

Will you be continuing in the other place as well as in here Rob, assuming it gets sorted?

Morning Andy,
Absolutely. I tend to post on both as each forum has much to offer in their own respective way. Certainly less thread drift on here and I'm as guilty of that as anyone but I enjoy the more focused approach we have here.
I'm sure it will get sorted. How much survives remains to be seen but if it doesn't, there's little (if anything) we can do about it other than just get on with it.

The two forums are very different despite both covering the subject of railways. As Rob says, each has its merits. There's a much higher percentage of making and practical chat on here.
The lack of wishlisting, moaning about the latest release and heated arguments on here are a breath of fresh air. You also get a lot of support on here when trying out new to you things. Researching prototype info and working out ways of replicating it doesn't end up with you being labelled a sad rivet counter and unlike the other place I've never been told I'm wasting my time.
That said, the current offline status of RMweb has reminded me just how much information is on the forum. Just about all my recent searches for info return a high percentage of RMweb thread hits, all of which are currently inaccessible. Hopefully it will get sorted with minimal damage.
