James Well, you did recall the old Esso mantra, "put a tiger in your TANK"! Unless Gill Head converts to a wargaming scenario, there'll be none of them screaming across the fells. I do actually have some Esso tank wagons. I think I converted a number of them to EM, some of the models notable for the scalpel-resistant plastic on the brake blocks. As for the Mankini - or Mankini Man model..... Better not discuss them, we wouldn't like to shock some of the younger viewers!! Jeff 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Physicsman Posted November 15, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2021 I've attached a couple of pics - not especially good - off the 'phone, to show what I've been doing. Things on the wall and grass front are going slowly because of the lower temperatures and the multiple layers needed for the plaster/base coat/flock/base grass/longer grass procedure. I'm still at 2mm base grass at the moment, hence the gaps in the grass coverage, but the wall continues to extend. I'll post some "proper" pics when this aspect of the work is "finished". Anyway David, as you can see, the snow has retreated! Jeff 14 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted November 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2021 Morning Jeff, My rmWeb time is diminishing at the moment one way or another! However, your making superb progress, I just hope your going to be able to enjoy it when its all done and you can (dare I say it) run trains I know how much enjoyment you get from the building side of things. The first shot from last night's update especially looks brilliant. Always enjoy catching up on what your doing - you couldn't arrange for another few hours in each day, could you ... that way I could catch up more often!!

I like the idea of a walling background to a small, part-village scene, to allow some scratchbuilding of structures. I could even have a few model people out front, swigging down their pints. Maybe name them Jeff, Graeme, David and Jonathan?!! Edited November 16, 2021 by Physicsman walLing not walKIng! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be a physicist, but I've not perfected the art of lengthening the days. I DO love building landscapes, but I guarantee a LOT of running locos when the 00 plank is built. AND a lot of scenery. Just do what you can. If a layout or project takes years, fine, as long as you enjoy doing it. Better slow than rush and mess things up! J. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as an astronomer there's the silver lining of longer nights for looking at the moon and stars. IF we ever see them when the bl**dy clouds depart. Eh, Graeme?

I simply used the names of those who'd posted on here today - but managed to omit Rich. Sorry about that, Rich! As for worse names....well, I never really liked "Jeff" anyway... Or maybe "the names have been changed to protect the innocent"? Extending this idea has me visualising a 4' x 2' board with a Cumbrian or North Yorkshire village Market Street, cobbles and all, a couple of pubs on either side and a single track line running down the middle. The latter isn't quite prototype, but tons of room for modelling and an old 3F pulling a train of sh1tty wagons full of scrap and wood moving down the line....
