Annoying at the time but things generally happen for a reason. To continue with a project you have got to be happy with it. To be honest, I think I went the wrong way about Bleat Mk1. Having built two layouts in two years there was no reason I couldn't build a third in three, was there? Had the point not thrown itself under the bus then I may well have continued in the knowledge that I wasn't truly content and that is not ideal. I would have finished Bleat as I had agreed to exhibit it in Jan this year...................but............ Bleat Wharf will re-emerge but in a different format. A touch simpler and more in keeping with the original location...... Therefore, this thread is not closed. And no, I have no idea why I have a quote from Stubbers at the top of this........

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted February 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2019 Good decision Rob, if you're not happy move on. DM4MS, as I brought to Taunton last year, was too big, too ambitious and ultimately no fun, so it's been scrapped in favour of Mk2. Looking forward to your next masterpiece. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 11, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Well, it appears that the first trains have run on Bleat Wharf MKII. A 4F shuffled a few wagons with no real issues. All electrics worked as per and a pleasant hour was spent. Next job is to sort out a slight snag with the fiddle yard and we are good to go with the ground cover. Rob.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2019 I now have a couple of lengths of track to finish the fiddle yard off and this will conclude the track laying. A bit more testing and we can start on the ground cover. Tidy. Rob 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2019 Well, track laid so fiddly yard completed as per. Fettling conducted and the transition from fiddly yard to scenic section much improved. Still a bit more to do but decided to call it a night. Overall a good hour or so.
