Andrew P Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I've no idea how you do it, even in small doses! It was all but a bare baseboard this morning and look at it now. Unbelievable. Award yourself at least 10 gold stars. 11 gold stars I think - my Marshall goes up to 11...... (I'm sure you'll understand that bit Andy!) I love the clothes pegs holding up the backscene- never seen that method before Cheers Guys, Yes I think it was Pete Townsend that went to Jim Marshall and said, Every Amp goes to 10, I want one that goes to ELEVEN, and so Jim just re numbered the facia Panel. As for the Clothes pegs, well they hold the Backscene level between releasing them to turn the boards over to work underneath. Once all the work underneath is complete I will level the backscenes up and fix them properly. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I have been surprised to learn on RMweb is just how many mature chaps have musical tendancies, including collecting guitars. Not me - I am content to let others make music, thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Guys, Yes George T and I have had a couple of Bands, the first was a Shadows Tribute Band that never really got that far, then we had the G-TAP Blues Band, (George Tait / Andy Peters), then George moved away so I formed the Silvertones with some other Guys on the South Coast doing mainly 60's Rock and Roll. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted March 14, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2016 Morning gang, a good nights sleep and thoughts turn to the next phase of Pencarne, yesterday I spent most of the Nottingham Show, (apart from the Lunch Hour operating Nick Pallets Midland Ohio / American O Gauge Shunting Layout, / see American section on here) watching the delightful Farringdon modelled in P4, this is possibly one of the most exquisite renditions of a Prototype Ex GWR Branch I have ever witnessed at an Exhibition. Firstly Midland Ohio. And Farringdon. And to finish, a pic with a Loco in it. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted March 14, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Some nice allotments on Faringdon, Bodge. Has it set you thinking? Edited March 14, 2016 by Rowsley17D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Some nice allotments on Farringdon, Bodge. Has it set you thinking? Allotments yes Jonathan, but also the simple un-cluttered nature of the Layout as a whole, I cant change Pen into that without doing away with the Dairy and the deep cutting, but its certainly very inspirational. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 14, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2016 I wonder why everybody keeps calling it 'Farringdon' - is it misspelt on the layout or in the programme or does everyone come from London? The name of the place is 'Faringdon' - only one 'R' so not like the one in London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted March 14, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2016 I made the mistake of showing my wife the photo in post #2281. She ran out of my study screaming. All I could make out was something like "they all look the same" . . . . "God help me!!!" Are we really all that similar?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted March 14, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2016 Having convinced my wife to come out of the locked bathroom she managed to explain her hysteria was based on the firm believe that all model rail enthusiasts obviously end up looking the same. Gentlemen you can either take that as a compliment or an insult. Being (only) 53 I am still making up my mind. I must say mentioning the musical interest did not calm her down either. This hobby obviously engenders some negative stereotypes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really ought to know as my mum went to grammar school there - she lived in Uffington so sometimes going on the train but more often on her bike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
