Wencombe /Kingsbridge Regis/Louville Lane

[Alan]

A bit different isn't it!. Each layout has brought a different challenge. From realistic greenery (Wencombe), realistic harbour (Kingsbridge) and now an attempt at realistic urban grot.

Lovely to see the work of the various photographers, Alan. I am lucky enough to have such matters taken care of by Norman Lockhart and Ivor Peterborough, both of whom speak highly of Frank Drake's work.

I gather they've had the occasional pint in the "Armada" just outside Wencombe station.

 

[Alan]

Frank has been keeping a wary eye on the building of the storage tanks and today he noticed that steps had been added to get over the bund, and also a pump house had been built.

 

[Peter Cross]

Is the bund big enough? When we built any for domestic tanks they need to take the volume of liquid that was in the tank.

Some more Black and White images of the Lane.

Frank's escaped out of his warehouse for a couple of more shots.

Some loco action down at the Lane

To all followers of this thread.

It looks like Frank Drake has been tinkering in the dark room.

A Helicopter shot of The Lane



And some Christmas Books which may give a hint at the next project.

 

[Alan]

Frank's been getting himself into strange places to get some of these shots, Perhaps he was in the helicopter taking the overhead shots or he was standing on the shed roof for a couple of them.

 

[Alan]

A few more from Frank Drake's portfolio.

 

[Alan]

Frank has been pointing his camera away from locos and at the parcels traffic.

 

[Yorkshire Dave]

For me the close up photos taken through the parcels platforms are the best as they capture the 'gloomy' inner city station atmosphere .

Many thanks Dave.
