RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted September 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2021 Your making great progress Andy.

This Andy 'speedy' Peters you know .. .be done before you've read this 34 minutes ago, Andrew P said: And now Video No 10. No Locos were hurt in the making of this Video. Andy, I have to say the rate at which your doing these, its going to resemble a Netflix series and we're all going to have binge-watch!! At this rate the videos will show the layout completed before its actually finished ... then we'll catch up with progress about four months later!!!! Enjoy band practice tomorrow mate - dont go doing too much, but I like the way the harbour lifts up and to one side - I wonder if you could look at one of those kitchen cupboard style gas hinges so your not taking all the weight of it when you lower it? Once the water is there, dont get wet by forgetting to drain it before lifting the hatch will you Rich 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said WOW! Regards Lez. On 04/09/2021 at 12:51, Monkersson said: £10 per month, that is very cheap. If you only go 3 times a month that is under £3.50 for a night out with mates nattering about a common interest. If the club owns the property, as the MRC does it can keep subs low, if it rents like my club (Lincoln) does then our £10 a month seems good. Still cannot beat my old club, the Witham club. As a temporary meeting place after having to leave the cellar in the 1980s we moved into the club secretary's big garage . Last time we paid subs was in the 1990s for some special reason, only one years worth £5 (might have been £10) and we got free tea and biscuits, and mince pies at Xmas. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the water is there, dont get wet by forgetting to drain it before lifting the hatch will you Rich Thanks Rich, there is no weight to it really as the base is 4mm Ply. And it works well so I don't want to change it now. Cheers for the idea though. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, Very true, that was a great day Ian, so thanks again for that. It will be nice when you guys can come down, and we can stand in the doorway and watch Mike, @scoobyra driving Trains into each other.. It was good to be with such a merry crowd, all with like minded interest, = BBQ food and cake eating. P.S I meant like mates that are 5 minutes away.
