Hi Adrian I'm really looking forward to the joining of the two Terminus's but will you still have a fiddle yard somewhere, as Mac Pryke did on the Berrow Branch?

Its all down to my bad Grandma, I meant 'inventiveness' hahhahah thanks for guiding me in the right direction, and again well done Al.

Well quite a bit done today, one way or another, firstly some Brownie Point from SWMBO, I did promise at the start of this move that I would make the garden and Shed look a lot better than it was. Its cost me some megga dough but its looking worth it now, and most importantly Dee;s a Happy Bunny. Firstly as it was. And as it is now. I then spent a couple of hours in the Potting Shed tidying up ready for Lee tomorrow, we have the Guttering to put up on the neighbours side and then see what time we have left. I have offered the frame up the end frame, (this came out of the old Den) and one side member, once fitted the Layout will rest on top. Its getting there, but I daren't show you the other side of the Shed, hahah

Cheers Jock, Club was last night, its a general Club night on a Tuesday when all the groups are present, G Scale, O Gauge, N Gauge and OO, but on a Thursday its mainly the OO gang working on our big Layout to get it ready for the open weekend. I am really taking things easy these days, I'm off back out to the Potting Shed in a mo, but just an Hour and then another sit down, little and not often now as opposed to Bull in a China Shop, You take care mate and catch up later.

HAhahhahah No Eddie the Eagle, that's me, hahah, well the gardening is done, and sitting down with a nice cup of coffee and a biscuit, then in an hour or so I will have an hour in the shed, I may even find some more useful bits, you never know.

Morning all, its a lovely morning here today so some more bits will be sorted today in the Potting Shed, but first a bit of gardening though. Later I want to try and get the book cases in place and the frame timbers ready to go up on Saturday when Lee comes up. Normally I would have just cut them by now but I have found moving the heavy boxes over the last few days quite tiring. I can now almost see the wood for the trees, and I think I must have the warmest Shed on the Planet, hahahah.

Nice work there Al, your putting us all to shame with your inventfullness (thought that was a real word!), Great stuff, looking forward to seeing the coaches next.

Cheers Duncan, trying not to over do it, I'm off to Club tonight and I have a garden path to lay, luckily for me its in 4mm Scale hahahha. I have just read Jocks great news in the Lunester Lounge, brilliant mate, good on yea mate. A bit more tomorrow and one side will be finished I hope.

Sounds to like you need to go N Gauge mate. hahahahahhahhaeeeeee

Hi all, well another successful day in the Potting Shed, I have filled 3 Medium Plastic containers with the empty wagon boxes that was originally in 4 cardboard boxes, (should have done it this way before the move) and then filled a draw in one of the dressing table units with FULL boxes of wagons and coaches. I have also emptied 3 boxes of buildings and put them into draws and cupboards. Then finally after a chat with George this morning I have decided to store the spray booth under the Layout, this give a neater area by the door. I takes about 3 to 4 minutes to get it out and set it up so no problem.

Hi Mate, No thanks, holes mean drafts, spiders, ants, bugs, slugs and goodness knows what. The vent by the door will suffice, 90% of the time I will be using Acrylics and the only real time I will need it is to blow cleaner through the gun. The amount of time I will be weathering will be minimal. possibly once or twice a week at most.

Morning Shaun, loving that Chapel mate, that looks so real, the Ivy is so effective.

Morning mate, any more photos due soon please, I need some devine inspiration for the next stage?

Station building's looking good Ray, have a god Show at the weekend.

Cheers Mike, that's made my night, I can go to bed now a happy bunny, hahaha

Hi Duncan, this was done with Hanging Basket liner.

Hi Mike, Jason has it right, you don't actually need any, but if you are having some please keep it subtle.

Hi Shaun, some great modeling on the Warehouse mate, love the sheer scale of the thing, fantastic.

I have a Bachmann Ez and I have used it at Exhibitions in the past even with Sound O Gauge so its a great starting point if you want to go down the DCC route, and later upgrade if you feel the need to. It will run 1 DC loco but its not advisable, I just use mine to ensure a DC loco will go backwards and forwards when I buy a new one.

Hi Duncan, loads of good ideas I see, and I love the Pic that Shaun posted, just brilliant.

Hi Jim, just catching up again, and looking at the pics of the river, I have to say, its spot on, and wow what a difference from last August. Fantastic mate, well done indeed.

No change yet, same as Monday's pics.

I value my BITS WHOOPS, hahhahha :scared: :scared: :scared:

Andy Y has a very good point about Club Layouts, we have many members that will not take a step into today's world, They have old Triang and Hornby Locos, Coaches and Wagons and therefore our new Club Layout which is 41ft x12ft could have been fantastic, but we have had to compromise with Code 100 Track. There's nothing wrong with it apart from its looks, but as a Club its all about compromise.

Well I found a few useful bits this morning and made a start with my Desk and Spray Booth, the blue racks will need a new home as they may be a bit high to go where they are at the mo. Still a long way to go. The sun has come out now so a bit of Gardening this afternoon.
