Mornin'! Any chance of some 'photos?
Best wishes, Tim

Thanks again Steve, the two hitherto "missing" items were well worth waiting for- Phil's article was brilliant and clearly showed what I failed to do when recently painting stonework and Tony-well, inspired and erudite as ever when achieving (for me anyroad) the impossible. Very many thanks to both gentlemen.
Very best wishes, Tim

I agree! Still doesn't work!

Many thanks Andy, I agree with "Paul C", it's the best bits we can't see! Do hope all is well with you.
Best wishes Tim.

Any progress with sorting out my problem?

Sorry Steve, been getting supper! Subscribers Email. Thanks.

I think the gastroscopy I had yesterday has affected me brain-I can't work out how to play World Of railways TV after Tytton Hall has played- can some kind soul help!?

Absolutely seconded! Quite quite brilliant! You, Sir, are a master of the scenic art.
Yours in total envy, Tim.

Dear Sir John-The West Country Poem par excellence-"Summoned by Bells"!

See if you can find a copy of Pryer's "A Pictorial Record of Southern Signals" published by OPC and look at the real thing! I've built several signal boxes from scratch and I'm no expert! If windows put you off, there are kits around that supply signal box windows or you can easily adapt all sorts of domestic windows. For a start, try an "ARP" box of which there were several examples on the Southern-dead easy!
Good luck, Tim.

Yup, a very good question-IMHO a very under explored topic. Ash (the real thing-sieved) would be most suitable, there are also various
widely available scenic dressings from the likes of "Woodland Scenics" etc. Me, I use sieved sand from the New Forest or Studland Heath in Dorset-not bad and it's free!
Best wishes, Tim

Funny old world-I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate several years ago but examination and tests revealed nothing suspicious. Because of this (and several friends / relations being diagnosed with Prostate cancer) I have several times asked our local surgery for a routine "check up" PSA test and the reply has always been a refusal-no symptoms, no test. Is this normal NHS policy?
Best wishes to all, Tim.
(interesting-my last GP told me that the vast majority of men die with Prostate Cancer-note, "with" not "of".

Thank you-very nice! I had a few happy months driving on the Moors Valley (and enjoying Mrs H's bacon rolls when assisting with maintenance!)
Best wishes, Tim Chambers

Like it a lot! Look forward to much more, providing of course you include a model of my old mate, Nelson ("NELSS") Loader as fireman and dad Herbie as driver of the loco.

Especially considering the comments made about a certain transfer manufacturer in recent times, I really thought that my experience (usual disclaimer if I must!) is worthy of exposure! Ordered 'bus transfers from them 1538 hours Monday 6th February, received via Royal Mail, 0900 Tuesday 7th.
Very well done to both parties!

Completely agree-the "Tree" backscene is ridiculously out of scale for "00"-very frustrating, I was going to use mine for a "FoD" plank but will have to think again.
What a bu**er.

In this case it’s the Wimborne show ;) I stayed a member despite moving a bit further North.
Sorry about that! When is the show please?

I agree with Simon, there are still challenges but not insurmountable ones. We lost our just outside town venue for our club show because they want regular weekly hires not once a year?!?
Hard work and optimism by our show organiser means we are now organising a smaller show in the centre of the town where hopefully casual footfall will be even higher. It brings some higher costs with parking but avoids catering issues as there are a multitude of pubs and coffee shops around it.
If people can spend a couple of hours in the show and another 2-3 in a pleasant town with things to do then hopefully parking charges will be happily accepted and we will make sure to advertise the other things to do on the website.Not forgetting the "Park and Ride" of course! That being said, on our last visit to Salisbury, staff shortages had reduced the frequency considerably.

If only we could all expect such wonderful and heartfelt tributes! A lovely man and one I was proud to meet on several occasions, the first as previously mentioned, when Iain was behind the counter at Hamblings in Cecil Court. A very sad loss, RIP.

Er, actually it was Lynmouth, Lynton's "twin", which experienced the "flood disaster" (and so did other places on Exmoor which never receive the publicity that Lynmouth does-doesn't make the event any less dreadful, of course)
Not nit picking, purely as a matter of info!
Best wishes, Tim.

Had the same problem-one of the very few that ticked the right boxes was the Lloyds Treasurers account. Didn't take anywhere near 6 weeks to open and apart from longish waits on the 'phone, no problems.(so far!)
For a change, must declare an interest-retired Lloyds bank manager!
best wishes
Tim.

Don't know whether this has been mentioned before but watching one of the frequent repeats of "Endeavour" I was interested to see that his local station appears to be Horsted Keynes?! Dammit, what swine has moved Oxford??!!
Best to all, Tim.

Many thanks Rob, I was thinking of bringing a few items to sell, your thoughts and the "B and B" form are most helpful. Looking forward to the day and a really excellent clutch of layouts!
