Thanks very much Andi, The pics may be a bit slow for a few weeks but I will try to do at least one per day. I know it sounds big headed, but I enjoy posting them almost as much as others do seeing them.

 

Cheers again, Happy New Year and here's to 2021.

Thanks Polly and Ray, and the same to both of you as well, and hope we can get to some Shows again later in the year. The Mid Hants is now my Local Preserved line, about 25 minutes away, so will be paying the odd visit there once things get back to almost normal. I see they have also installed some Holiday Cottages at Ropley now, so that should help them with Tourist once they can open.

All the best to you both and stay safe and well.

Andy your last video is very good particularly those low view pans.  The only trouble is I find myself multi watching your videos instead of getting on with my build.   

In fact it triggers my mind into re-viewing some of your earlier videos that I enjoyed which compounds the issue, but don't stop making your videos please.

Thanks Barnaby, there will be another up tomorrow, it just needs editing later today. Glad your enjoying them mate.

Just a little done this morning after a very late start at 11-30.

 

As the Model Shops are closed I decided to look through my scrap bin, and found just enough bits of 7mm walling to do a patchwork job on the Bodgit Bridge walls.

Although the final pics look a bit green, there not as bad as they look to the naked eye.

 

 

Think damp mossey cutting that never gets any Sun due to over hanging Trees.

Thats nice to know about the holiday cottages, the last time we were down that neck of the woods we stayed in a farm cottage just outside Alton.

Stay Safe.

Happy New Year Andy. I trust that you're going to be having tons of fun with your layout (s) in 2021 and sharing it with us. I'm starting to appreciate how much work goes into all those videos.

Once the Lamps have been removed, there will be repairs done to also hide where the Fuel Pumps were.

I liked the class 33 running light at speed, that looked really good.

 

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade, Its the first time I've tried that and it worked well, stopping it in time was the only issue, but I do have a large bit of foam at the  end of the fiddle yard, haha.

Damp mossey cutting...In that case, ideal conditions for more substantial spreading growth to take root in all those Bodgit Wall cracks.

A job I was going to do later was to fit the Fuel Pump Lights, but I realised this morning that the wiring had to go in before the embankment could be done.

So they are fitted wired and working, but now laid down until the Balast and Scenics along the back are done.

 

 

 

 

And this is how it should look when done.
