  1. I wish, Don't forget, Lazy Joe's Brother is on the job at this end. Hahha😂
  2. O.K., Tonleigh Bridge is now SOLD, so this will be the Last official post. Before I can start the new Layout / Topic, here's a Video of what has been keeping me busy over the last few Months. This was just from 2 Open Mic nights, so totally un rehearsed. Tony / Singer / Guitarist and I will be out soon at Pubs etc, as "CHANCE ENCOUNTER" once we have a permanent Drummer. THANKS once again Guys.
  3. Looking again this morning, I think the left corner will be more like Ian / @Temeraire "Tidworth" Layout, rather than the Dubmill Sidings older style as show above. It will be more in keeping with my 90's Stock. NOT a copy, but more of that Modern style.
  4. Hi Paul, Our passage way alongside the Bungalow is far to narrow anyway, certainly not wide enough to carry any boards from the POD located in the front of the bungalow to the rear, or operate at the front. Nice idea though. Cheers. Good luck with your sale, I'm not moving again having lived in I think its 23 properties, of which I've owned, bought and sold about 18 since I was 26.
  5. Hi Rich, I do have a Parcels Bay in mind actually. I'm looking at a combination of three inspiring Layouts for the size I will have. I will probably end up with about 11ft long (2ft wide boards) with a Fiddle Yard on the left at 90 degrees of about 5ft. so "L" shape and inspiration has come from these three sources. The main inspiration is 4mm Canada St, a simple yard for sorting arrival and departure. Not to dissimilar to my current Yard, but not a through Yard. The second inspiration is from the Gresley Clubs 7mm Hawkins Lane Goods. The Cooperage in the top right will be a Steelworks for me, and the inclusion along the top / back of the Layout for a small Oil Depot, similar to the one just outside of Alton Station on the Waterloo Line. The Third inspiration comes again from a 7mm Layout, this time, Dubmill Sidings, taking the Warehouse and Yard on the bottom / front left of the Layout for Parcels and General Goods.
  6. Passenger Bus that carries smelly people and need a platform to cater for the poor souls. In a word, NO. 🤣 Thanks anyway Craig.
  7. A 58 would go about 18 inches each way. If I were to be STUPID it would be an 08 and a few wagons, but I have so much OO Stock spare Points and Track, Vehicles and Buildings it would be silly to swap back again. BUT never say never, as the next one is being built to Sell on and able to Exhibit, (NOT BY ME). So maybe one day, I might go back to "O". Cheers once again Paul, for planting seeds. 😅
  8. Another cracking Layout at the Basingstoke Show that I missed by not going. This really is a gem of a Layout and is on my bucket list of Layouts to see. Nice one Chris, hope it all went well.
  9. Looks like a great weekend Guys, sorry I missed it. Catch up again soon I hope.
  10. Cheers Scott, I'm looking forward to doing whatever comes next. Cheers.
  11. Cheers Guys, there is a chap on his way as I type this so I may have another up date later. 😗
  12. Thank you David, and yes the Scenic Fiddle yard was being discussed.
  13. Thanks very much. another year, another challenge as they say. CHEERS Kevin.
  14. Hi Guys, Just an up date for here. Due to personal circumstances Building work needs to take place. This unfortunately will involve loosing about a Meter and a half of the POD. FAMILY COMES FIRST. There will be another layout on a smaller scale very soon once the work is complete and I have my BABY POD re instated. In the meantime I have had to advertise Toneleigh Bridge as a going / 90% complete layout, (advertised on Facebook, Gumtree and E-Bay, although I would rather not use that one). But if its not sold, I will salvage what I can, i.e. Points Point Motors Fencing, Bridge, and some of the trackwork and the base boards. I will start a new thread on the new build in the BABY POD once I know what I'm doing. FINALLY = Cheers to each and every contributor on here and my other projects for ALL your input and ideas. Some final pics I WILL BE BACK.
