KNP Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 When I was painting my old Lima ones and carrying out my research I was amazed at how filthy they were especially around the tank lid. Hopefully the interior of the tank was in better condition - makes you wander though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hi Andy I have been thinking about your move to the big boys toys and your club premises. The 00 is upstairs and the 0 gauge is downstairs. Is this designed to facilitate those who eyesight is more adjusted to 7mm and their agility is now refined to level flooring not stairs, can still enjoy their hobby?

Clive, up stairs we have the Dornoch Branch (in the course of being re built at the Mound). and is some 50ft long end to end, so Bob, (who bought my Trebudoc) and I will use it on Club running nights / one Tuesday and one Thursday a Month, and / or on the O Gaugers running days, which is every other Friday / all day with a stop at Lunchtime for Fish and Chips.

Andrew P Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 A while ago one of our Club Members gave me some Welsh Slate from his garden, ( NOTE = NOT STOLEN FROM WALES but BOUGHT). Anyway I always knew it would come in handy one day. He had used it on our Dornoch Branch at the Clubroom, so I thought it would look quite good forming a cutting from the Bridge. Now I need some more for the other side. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 The Bridge at Carrog appears more like a Flint than a block. All the times I've been to Carrog and I've never photographed the Bridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
