Layout looking fab though I struggle massively with what era to run, I love the 80's when I was out bashing but I love the modern scene as well. So to that end I'm trying to model the 1980's but every so often it'll be a compromise of dumping the modern stuff on and effectively run a train set Hi Adrian, Cheers and again, the same to you as others, I missed a whole load of posts yesterday, so apologies. I'm the same with era, I like anything from Blue to today, but cant afford it all, unfortunately. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes your right, but what a lot of these Companies don't get is the fact that people switch off when they come on, so they are paying out good money for nothing. But without them RM web and others would not be able to function ... its annoying but a fact of modern digital life. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Bit of an early morning ritual for me after Bonfire night, or any local displays. My morning walk produced 3 Rocket Sticks. I will have another walk in another area on my way for my Flu Jab later. If I were to buy those bits from a Model Shop it would probably be 2 or 3 quid's worth, and got em for nought, plus I got some exercise in the process. Some bits will be for the side of the Harbour wall. 11 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most disappointed with you Mr Peters I would have thought that a man of your dedication and vitality would have been catching them before they had time to land. It does just show you though what you can do with things that everybody else would just class as tat. 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) I had some more of the walling arrive this week from Model Railway Bits, and so I did a basic dark colour this morning before going for the Flu jab. When I got home I added some highlight colour and started to find homes for them. First up was to replace the poorly made and BODGED Brick wall that was in front of the Harbour Pub. As it was, to hide the hinge. And now, it still needs finishing off and blending in, but much better already I think.

Andrew P Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Next up I continued the wall behind the Chapel up the Hill to Whites Cottage. I've added a dog leg in the wall to narrow the Lane and make it more interesting. Once again, it needs bedding in and finishing off. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Then I had a play with some walling that I might put at the bottom of the Embankment to form a cutting. Nothing is fixed here as I'm still playing with ideas. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 I then moved down to the Station area, and in particular, the wall around the Greystones Cottage. Again, not fixed yet. The Station fencing will go along the pencil line to form this side of the Garden, although I may put walling this side as well. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 And finally, two bits left over, so they will either go to form the rest of Greystone Cottage Garden or here to form the other side of the Road. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 Had a very busy few days with the Band, and so very little done on here. I did intend to make a start on the Ballasting last Thursday, but LAZYNESS got in the way. I have done a few bits as you have seen for next weeks Video, and I hope to do more before committing to saving it next Thursday. I do hope the lazyness doesn't last long, I have ideas I want to show. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a big pot of ballast to apply, it has sat there looking at the layout for the last 3 years. 6 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
