I wouldn't say talent, I paint a bit, Play in  a Rock Band, and build the odd Model Railways, but I'm not an expert in any of them, I just muff my way along as best I can and learn from more talented people than me.

 

Cheers anyway for the nice compliment Nigel.

Excellent scenic painting there Andy, very helpful, well done...

You do your self a serious injustice there. You are definitely a Reneicouse..,.renacoze  Man oh it let's just say your multi talented.

 

On aslightly more serious note I'm pleased to inform you that once I get my a..e in gear I will definitely be following you by installing a flap on my layout.

Thanks George, I've had a nice running session this morning for a change, and will post that up on Friday, along with a bit of a surprise.

Thanks once again Young Man.

 

The Flap that I re designed so that I could duck under is better, but still not perfect as I cant get under without hilding on to something, so cant carry my coffee and cake in there with it down.

If you get the memsahib to follow behind you - at a reasonable distance of course,  with the coffee and cake. She can then pass it to you once you've limboed under the flap.

 

Or even better get one of the sons to build you a serving hatch so that the memsahib can pass through the coffee and cake. You could fix up a bell so that you ring when you feel a bit peckish.

 

Please note I'm to far away to collect you from the hospital once you've been discharged from A & E.

Nice Running Session this morning, and also the Cottage and Pub arrived, I still have another Pub coming so not sure which will end up in Trewenn, it could be neither as I've commissioned some Buildings for Trewenn, so things might yet change.

Would look even better with some bullhead rail and a Prairie

That’s what the shelf with the tankards is for.

Place on shelf from outside.

Limbo under, holding on.

Pick up from shelf from inside.

There, that wasn’t difficult was it?!

 

Paul.

 

P.S. I need to hold onto the floor when my flap is down.  If I were only 9 months it would be called crawling!

NOT necessary Graham,

I did in fact contemplate early to Mid 60's Transition period, ie 22's, Hymeks, etc with the odd Pannier and Parries thrown in for good measure, hence the original idea of Semaphore Signals.

I could have run both periods as the Landscape is the same, but then I started to think about the signs on the Station, the Vehicles, and then finally the cost of at least two lots of Rolling Stock. 

Then I thought about the Blue Period with lots of 37's, (as well as)

Then the 3 Tone Grey 90's.( as well as).

[Graham T]

I did briefly toy with the idea of some green diesels for Chuffnell Regis, but as you say that means an awful lot of extra rolling stock.  Which I don't have the time, money, or space for!

You missed a bit;

Spill over the Layout,

Curse,

Clean up mess,

Got get some more,

AND DO IT AGAIN.

There, that wasn’t difficult was it?! WAS DIFFICULT wasn't it.

SO, back in the real world, and a couple more pics from today.

Looked  back to show my hinged section on Rothleigh but realised that all that work was not recorded ... anyway using a piece of 2x1" about 16" long 'hinge' screwed into the wall held it up to go out so it was easy bringing back food in both hands and release.  I was pleased that with no further attention it still located track properly 6 years plus afterwards.

 

Enjoying the video scenic painting and reminded of the session that you did with Big John  - how long ago?

 

[KNP]

Great backscene videos Andy, really informative and useful.

Beauty of doing your own is that it’s designed to fit your layout requirements and not trying to make the layout fit a ready made one…

Layouts coming on well.

Cheers Peter, I  remember your lifting flap, and how well it worked,

 

And it was August 2017 Peter, I was a young man back then.

Thanks Kevin, Yes that is certainly the main advantage of doing your own to fit the Location, i.e. the Mountains of Scotland, Wales, Cumbria etc or the flatlands of somewhere like Lincolnshire. or the Somerset Levels I guess.

A plain blue backscene can be everywhere and nowhere (baby).

You need one of those bed tables that you can sit on top without damaging the layout, put coffee and cake on it,  crawl under, and bob’s your uncle.
