RMweb Premium The White Rabbit Posted July 26, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 26, 2021 But Snowflake's in the harbour and we all know that type can be 'tender' if you start making waves. And Kevin has enough trees, some of them must be beeches. I'd lief be under a beech than on a beach. And can LM be at the seaside if it is without peer? 4 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium The White Rabbit Posted July 27, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 27, 2021 They're hiding... though not in the same places as hedgehogs, prickly... When I've included them and birds in my countryside modelling, they are often (unintentionally) difficult to spot. But if you're not top of the food chain, being too visible can lead to you becoming lunch for something else. What is the 'small mammal' count Kevin? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted July 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Oh no......those pesky panniers are back again but now there are 4 of them!!! There is the normal LM story here. The RH two work but the LH two don't 7768 second from left has the top feed removed and for this I obtained two Replica Railways bodies and a broken chassis. The idea being that if the top feed removal was a disaster I would swop the bodies and no one would be any the wiser, but it went OK so now I was left with a body and no chassis!!!! Then a few weeks ago I picked up a RR motor less chassis from Ebay and this gave me another one which will also have the top feed removed, just need to pick a number So the next project is borne along with four Parkside wagon kits - 2 PO grain and 2 Gunpowder, that I had for my birthday.

KNP Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have to say the old motive fleet has grown since I started posting on this site in earnest. For years I had just two loco's and now I have 18 of them of which 6 are static and used as photo props. One day I will post a picture of them all arranged in the goods yard like I have done previously - if I have the room? I also got some more storage boxes as I have run out of space......? 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winslow Boy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Given the speed at which LM operates any explosion would be in slow motion giving us plenty of time to get to a safe distance. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Did anyone else have a mis-spent youth and experiment with weed killer (sodium chlorate I think) and sugar to make an explosive ? One of my child hood mates was a bit of a maniac with this stuff. We used to put it into sealed tobacco tins or copper pipe (with one end hammered down, and a stone in the other). Light a short fuse and run like hell. The copper pipe was a basically a cannon. If it did not blow up the stone was propelled at some velocity. I lost touch with him years ago - I hope he is still in one piece. Another kid in the village where I grew up, destroyed an old World War 2 air raid shelter with a similar but much larger concoction. He ended up in the Royal Navy. I hope there are not similar characters in LM. Much too picturesque to be blown up. 7 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
