Thanks for taking a look at my way of doing things. I hope you'll find some benefit from my writings and your images will reflect this.

I hope so I can now remove the signal posts sticking out the top of the trains. Just had to live with them before now they can be history

That certainly tidies up a record shot of a loco.

Don't be too disappointed if you don't get it right first time, you really need to keep practicing and it gets better and easier as you go along. Just be careful when you get to where the post disappears into the loco, you don't want a too softer brush otherwise the roof will look soft where the post is cloned out. If you do, grab a thin lined brush and put the outline of the roof back in.

Complications arise if you have some power cables behind the signal post, then you need to clone them back in and that is a little more tricky because you'll initially get a staggered power cable where you clone it in because you're not being precise enough with the cloning tool.
