coachmann Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I enjoyed your peek at Carrog on bonfire night. Calling the GWR is a popular pastime, but has anyone noticed it always looks good even in the depths of winter. I watched a North Wales land cruise video this morning which commenced on the GWR and worked it way round the Cambrian coast, but as soon as it entered flaking maroon and dilapidated LMS territory, the scene was depressingly familiar at Carnarvon, Amlwch, the Conway Valley, Denbigh and Ruthin. Even though it was all North Wales, the LMS even buggered up the scenery... Edited November 20, 2017 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 If I hadn't moved I would have paid a visit, Scotland is a lot further than Barton Under Needwood. Hi, Sorry to hear you wont be coming, we have a Club Member from BuN, Brian Small that does O Gauge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked the Video though Larry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday is a day when I am around to help with Cody (the nice horse) and Mrs M gets a ride on Lola. Oddly I am liking helping with the horses.

Andrew P Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 If anyone is interested, this is another project I'm working on between jobs on KM. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/116976-penybont-sidings-formally-beale-street/page-39&do=findComment&comment=2931411 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 I have some weathering jobs arriving shortly, and also need a major tidy up as I have some mates coming around for a Running Session on KM next Monday and Wednesday evenings. Mondays guys are totally Modern image and so it will be interesting to see what arrives, I may get the Railfreight Stock out for that one, and the Wednesday Crew are mainly Steam / Green Diesel era so that will be easy as I have all my Green stuff out at the moment. Off outside in a mo to get started as the Heater has been on for about 20 minutes now so it should be warm as toast out there. I'll do some pics later as I haven't done any for a long time now, and I've been asked the question as to what's happening, the answer is, very little as the Station area is still not 100% how I want it, and still needs more thought along with the exit to the Fiddle Yard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Pics as promised, but there not very good I'm afraid as I was busy tidying up at the same time as having a little P L A Y. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at getting a couple more ceiling lights for each end of the Shed at some point. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
