Well, what can I say....

My first thought when I logged in this morning was I had accidently opened up a comical website version of Gardeners World.....

 

So I will be doing trees, shrubs and rough grass it is then.....

 

To get you all into the right vein today here is a picture of a dieselly thing that rumbled through Quainton Station yesterday

What is it doing, a highly prestigious job of taking London's rubbish and depositing in a landfill site.

Least the containers where sealed and it didn't wiff to much when it past by.

Time for a train, to get back on the right tracks.....

 

Local passenger service at Encombe Station on a slightly murky and dull day....

 

Hey, you've left early?

 

What you mean you've had enough?

 

Where you going?

 

To another website where the humour is better....!

 

Best of luck with that one then, see you later...

The trees are definitely an improvement, breaking up the straight lines of the cottages. Resourceful cottage dwellers would probably have planted fruit trees at the end of their gardens and your trees look like very mature apple trees- between blossoming and bearing fruit!

 

I think you have come to the conclusion you’re readers are barking.

 

 

 

couldnt resist the last joke

That all looks very spruce Kevin.

Today whilst at the Swindon Outlet we visited Steam.

One thing I was looking at was exactly how tall was a lamp iron bracket and so I measured more than one.

Answer seems to range from 140mm to 170mm on the ones I could reach without clambering over the front of a loco...

So that says to me that if, at OO scale, use 2mm then all should be fine...they sit on a lug so don't sit on the footplate.

Then we, Bradley in tow, wandered over to the Hornby shop, mainly to get some liquid poly as I had run out and he wanted to build a shed......

 

Whilst there I noticed small large wire baskets with unboxed wagons in going cheap so.....

 

These arrived for the layout

Now, I didn't pay much attention to whose make they, just assumed they where Hornby as we where, after all, in the Hornby shop....

Wasn't till I looked at them that I realised they where Oxford Rail....!

 

Looks like I will have to get some more S&W couplings as I don't have enough to do them all....
