Allegheny1600 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Beautifully weathered models, Andy! I have to admit, I cannot tell what scale they are so that indicates great modelling. I assume, being in this section, they are 7mm? Cheers, John. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John, Yes, 7mm Seven Mills Sidings, but as for the pics, and their size, well thanks, some do look like OO but I always look at Coupling on other peoples pic to see if I can tell the Scale. Keep well and safe mate and hope to see you at a Show next year, all being well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 First job today was another coat of paint on the ceiling and walls, then Mike fitted the doors to conceal the meters. He has also made a frame with mesh to allow the Gas Pipe to breath, this has yet to be fitted. The Doors have come off the Kitchen unit that will sit under the Layout frame which will be covered with a Curtain. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrew P Posted June 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 We then cleaned out all cra* so that we could see the wood from the trees. Next the Radiator was fitted and may be plumed in tomorrow. Then the floor was laid, and the units and my desk put roughly in position. Tomorrow we hope to get all the Layout Frame support out of the loft, and fit most of it, so there is a good chance the Layout will be in and resting on the frame before the weekend. 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hi Andy, the POD is really coming along well. Nice work. Cheers, Ade. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 So this is how the Lounge and Hall look at the moment. In the Lounge the Layout is sitting on large plastic containers of Stock and other items. On the right are all my Guitars etc. Once all this has gone, we can get the Lounge decorated and sorted. And the one in the Hall is sitting where the door was originally going to go into the back of the old Garage, and I didn't want to spoil the Hall in the end. 8 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted June 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2020 That's coming along nicely Andy. It looks a lot narrower than my 8' wide garage but I realise it can't be (at least not by much). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted June 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2020 I reckon the door being to the outside will wok really well no layout mess in the house. That worked well with TOPS. Here you will not interfere with indoors but not have to go out in the rain to get into POD. It looks really cosy in there. Don 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chaps, I must say that 5 Months ago, I had all but given up hope of a decent room, but this now, although smaller will be bright and cosy in the winter, and nice for the summer too. I've knocked the possible window idea on the head. Far to much aggro with planning permission, building inspectors and the another Month of mess and upheaval, plus the extra security issues involved. 1 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 This morning I found another old image from Seven Mills when I went to the Mills Lane Bridge in time to catch Rat 25285 and a lone Railfreight VAA departing for the top yard. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Andy my friend the POD is looking rather 'posh' indeed as you have said earlier maybe a Padded Cell but livin down south you might need it Have you left enough space for your bunk bed maybe a pull out type under the layout I'm sure that you must be feeling a lot more positive about things now that the 'man cave' is taking shape. Take care and keep in touch 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a nice big 4inch hole drill for the SDS that woould give you plenty of air Seriously rather than a window take a brick or two out replace with an air brick and put a hit and miss on the inside. Meanwhile open the door if you are doing something creating fumes. Don So no curry the night before an operating session. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
