Rob, Thanks for the info on MBR, using your link I get into the 'High Bushes' page OK, but unfortunately, for me anyway, I am getting the following message, 'This page isn't working at the moment', when I try to negotiate other things on their site? I will try again later. Was it the Light Green bushes you used as that is where the link sends you, for me, these seem the best colour anyway? Mike

Hi Rob. I Have been following all your 'Sheep' related layouts with great interest and I am in awe at the modelling of your layouts and the weathering of your stock. On 'Sheep Dip' could you please tell me how you have constructed the shrubs/bushes, these are so effective and lifelike, I have had a search through your posts but can't find anything! Regards Mike

Thanks, I will just try a few and see if its OK

Can anybody help please. A few years ago I acquired a lot of stock with EM gauge wheels with the intention of building an EM gauge layout. I now wish to use the stock on standard 16.5mm gauge code 100 track. Rather than purchase a load of wheels and re-wheel the wagons, if I just re-gauge the wheels to 16.5mm gauge, will they run on the code 100 track OK? Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I have found it! It is a Bachmann Shunters Messroom, 44-139, there is a very similar building, similar to 44-139 with an extension, a Depot Crew Room, Bachmann 44-0034.

Can anybody identify the building show below please. It was on a layout called 'Entering the Yard' which was at Thirsk MR Exhibition in 2022.

Hi Dave Have found the building/windows. They are from Textures.com (formerly CG Textures) - Buildings - Industrial, namely 'BUILDINGSINDUSTRIAL0097', does that ring a bell? Mike

Dave Just out of interest do you have the download information, or building reference, for the other office building, the one with the curved top windows please. I don't seem to be able to locate it on the Textures site? Mike

Dave, Many thanks, they have been downloaded, along with a few more. Mike

Dave, thanks for that. I am actually registered with Textures.com, never thought of looking there. I have actually used some of their downloads on my layouts in the past. Had forgotten about them as I have not done much scenic modelling lately so not been on their site, you have spurred me on to have another look. Its the building with the 'square windows' that I am interested in for future reference. Regards Mike

Hi I've just come across this topic. Fabulous little layout. Can you give me some information please on the two large office buildings used in the background on the left hand side. Regards Mike Lee

Thanks 'doctor quinn', intersting website. It looks more like an Re## continental bogie flat wagon than an "S" type due to the style of the underframe. Knowing Lima early products its probably just something made up anyway? Mike

Hopefully a picture of the Lima Bogie Wagon. Mike Lee

Thanks Brian, interesting website. I think the nearest I am going to find is an Re## Continental Flat Wagon. Regards Mike lee

Thanks for you reply Darius, you have spurred me on to do a bit more digging. It looks as though it is based on a Continental Res Container Flat Wagon. Google Images has come up with a very close wagon, however all the ones I have found so far are stake wagons, the Lima wagon doesn't have stakes, or provision for them, it has slots for fitting ratchet straps. I will have to keep on doing a bit more investigating. Regards Mike Lee
