    Hi

    I’ve found an article that indicates that ash pits were on average 3’3” deep and some 300ft long lined with fire bricks which sounds plausible?

    Why is that in all the years that I've clicked to accept 'cookies'.....Not once have I ever received a packet of biscuits!

      I always dump the cookies, either when I leave a particular site or immediately I close the browser.

       

      They LIE!!!

       

      I've never found any cookies after closing the browser....

      Hi Bob, Lucky you! It would be interesting to see photos of Cambrian Street taken on the new phone, if possible.

      Happy new year, and take it easy Bob, look forward to stopping a train at Arley sometime next year rather than just rolling straight on through.

    Just realised that there's another sign in my home this Christmas that I am slowly morphing into Basil Fawlty....

    Hi Guys...searching for inspiration and pointers on building my own trees from wire...any appropriate blogs on RMweb,....?

     

    Would prefer to have a go at making my own rather than the 'bog standard' off the shelf products if possible, but I understand there are packages of wire for certain trees to form up into trees available which may be a start.

    Regards Bob

      Searching YouTube with "model trees from wire" brings up any number of 'how to' videos.

      Bob,

      Try looking at the thread Hemyock Page 9 onwards.  Jim was an excellent modeller and made fantastic trees.  Unfortunately he is no longer with us but his thread is still open and so his modelling is still with us.  He was modelling trees in autumn so they did not have many leaves.

      Hi.....Perfect thank you.....when I get underway with my tree sculpting I will post accordingly...

    Can point motors be fitted to a turnout which is already laid and wired up?

    1. Oldddudders

      Oldddudders

      Yes. Tortoise motors - not the cheapest - simply require a hole for the actuating rod through the baseboard. Other similar brands may offer the same facility. Careful measurement and use of the provided paper template make this possible, but you are under the baseboard for a while!
