Truly inspired me to get cracking back on with mine if I can get it anywhere near this standard, I'll be a very happy man. Superb effort mate All the best Matt Thanks Matt, and I'm glad you enjoyed the read, having lived in the area, (Addlestone and Hampshire) I guess it was many shuttles, haha Thanks for the kind words. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, there all different numbers to any previous ones I may or may not have owned in a previous life. Anyway, I'm told that; what comes around goes around, what ever that means.

Yes of course you are right, but I don't want to block to much of the view of the Pond or the sweeping curves. but yes your right, it does need addressing at some point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Talking of trees.....! The pond cries out for a weeping willow leaning at an angle with some of the branches in the water. Then you could get yourself scanned by Alan at Modelu where he could make a model of you lying peacefully on your back staring at the sky chewing on a piece of grass.. Can you imagine the comments you would get!!!! 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 In reply to a couple of posts : firstly the PW gang leaving rusty rails in the 6ft is a sure sign that a new layout is on the cards I suppose it just needs the design team and a possession meeting !!! And the second point regarding the number of locomotives owned / deposed of by Mr P .....how about just getting a couple of sound fitted chassis for each Class and a load of bodies and you could become a 'Body Swopper' 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
