Ullypug's tales from the tinking table

That stuff is horrible when hit with all powertools. Respirator a definite must. Looking dforward to seeing the river go in.

I was reminded of your model of Clevedon a few weeks ago when I flew out of Bristol on a business trip.

 

Curving around over the Severn Estuary to head to Amsterdam, I could look down between Weston and Clevedon. From the air, it was amazing how much of the route of the railway could still be traced. It was almost entirely visible between the edges of the towns.

 

Having just looked on Google Maps, there is far less identifiable, so it must have been the particular growth of the crops that made it stand out across fields.

 

Have you ever overflown it yourself?

Morning.

Yes I have like you flown from Bristol and managed to have a good view of it. Parts are visible between Clevedon and Portishead from the M5 split level section too if you know what you're looking for. Being local, I've walked just about as much of it as you can including arranging access with local landowners for the privately owned stuff through the WC&PR group. I posted the link to their highly recommended website on the old forum but here it is again. It's well worth a look.

Interesting point about the mess from the foam. On one of the US forums, I read of someone who shaped various wire hoops to fit into a Weller soldering gun and used it to form extruded poly foam successfully. Something I intend to try as I have a Weller gun somewhere.

 

Mark.

I've got the loco pit still to do so the router will be making another appearance yet...
