Seeing as it'll take about a week to happen be plenty of chances for good photographic evidence to be gathered of the impending disaster, hopefully not as bad as Harrow 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Actually, the heading for the wall situation reminds me of someone I went to school with who lived in a big old Georgian house with attic rooms. He and his brother and sister had the run of them and I remember his train set being built on lots of chipboard wardrobe doors along the back wall. Nobody seemed to mind that we cut holes through two lath and plaster walls about 6" square to run the trains through. It ended up as a kind of double track dumbbell. It was a bit of a lash up, but there was plenty of room to let a Hornby Brittania fly along. Our house was built in the sixties and the attic was a maze of wooden trusses. Most frustrating.... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted October 29, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) And here, lurking in the undergrowth, is a rare and little known species of a stationery vertical pole with four white blobs on the end of two sets of arms and wearing a lid found standing to attention. Known locally this is called a telegraphus polus and supports the making of long distance calls from the wild, so the experts say!! This particular species has only just appeared in the location so our intrepid photographer spent ages crawling through the vegetation to get near enough for a picture without spooking it. Fact This pole stood outside the removed building where the Unicorn PH now stands and was found in the same chinese meal plastic container with the platform lamp. So, it got planted here rather than go to waste. It is removable as is will get in the way of the camera as this is one of my preferred picture locations.
