NOTE = APPLOGISES for anyone living between the South Coast and the Midlands as you may all have heard my screaming, yelling, whooping and cheering on Laps 2 and 3. 😁

I think Alonso should have been disqualified as it was NO POINTS for GR as a direct result of his dirty tactics.

And other parts that may be deemed surplus to requirements. 😃

And if Sainz beats Leclerc again tomorrow, it will be a strait 2 out of 2, which it looks like he could do.

Peugeot still do one, but its BIG and Megga Bucks. Us poor modellers can't afford some of the silly prices of Cars, we have more Locos to buy. 🙄

Cheers Clive, actually this one was filmed a couple of weeks back, but was still "in the can" as they say. Not sure if the 24 minute version from me / "CHANCE ENCOUNTER" has been aired, other than on my own thread. Filmed over two weeks of Jam Sessions with NO rehearsals before hand, just strait in and a first take.

And so, Tonleigh Bridge was loaded this morning and left for its Journey to Welsh Wales, to reside quietly in the upper floor of a Barn. I hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I intended to, and can develop it further in years to come.

One new purchase this week. I think it might need a little weathering. 😥

Williams' Sargeant forfeits Australian GP start as chassis handed to Albon https://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/39784124/williams-sargeant-forfeits-australian-gp-start-chassis-handed-albon-following-crash

· Following the Saudi GP, Max Verstappen's car underwent more extensive physical inspections. This included checks on suspension dampers, engine air intake system, oil and coolant system, change air cooling, and all sensors related to these systems. All components were found to be in compliance with the regulations. RANDOMLY CHOSEN? YEAH RIGHT HO, I BELIEVE THEM.

AND, Thanks to Ian's generosity I have the loan of 4 of his old Kit Built Warflats and 3 x Land Rovers ready for the start of my next project in my much reduced POD. Cheers Ian, they will be part of the Fleet again soon.

So bad, its beautiful Dave, a real work of art, Well done and great work young man, and thanks for sharing, and as usual with your pics, no sign of a model coupling.

Message @PaulRhB he works there.

I wish, Don't forget, Lazy Joe's Brother is on the job at this end. Hahha😂

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.

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.

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.

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.

Passenger Bus that carries smelly people and need a platform to cater for the poor souls. In a word, NO. 🤣 Thanks anyway Craig.

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. 😅

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.

Looks like a great weekend Guys, sorry I missed it. Catch up again soon I hope.

Cheers Scott, I'm looking forward to doing whatever comes next. Cheers.

Cheers Guys, there is a chap on his way as I type this so I may have another up date later. 😗

We apart from Ollie Bearman doing a fantastic job, and Carlos being back in the pits after his opp, there's not a lot to say about last night. Lets move on.
