PS, why does it say ".RMweb Gold - online sign-up now available." in the middle of your posting? Hi Al, thanks for spotting that . I belive that subliminal advertising is banned, i must of been influenced by external forces beyond my control.subliminal definition: 1. not recognized or understood by the conscious mind, but still having an influence on it: 2.

Porkscratching Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Apologies, it's no doubt been mentioned at some point, but out of interest, what's the total size of the board or area that this layout occupies? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the drawing shows how it started off each square is 12". and as it's slowly progressed little bits of baseboard have been added to include the turntable and the line to it. The line to Westerham & Brasted stations runs beneath Ewer St and makes a brief appearance at the lower level at the front of the baseboard.

Porkscratching Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Thanks for that ! I was just wondering, in relation to how I'm going to fit in stuff I'm planning for a layout with the space I have! Most encouraging ...the stuff you've fitted in that space , has been a real help to me ideas wise ! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted May 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2019 Some street lights to light the way for the workers at Acme Engineering works. These have been made from some scraps of plastic tube, earing backs and the fish hook type of earing thing that hangs from the ear. I hope the pictures show how they were constructed, parts have been glued using gel superglue and sprayed with grey and black from a rattle can.

RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted May 15, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2019 Work has started on the walls of the Acme Engineering Works, the builders arrived on site with a discarded central heating boiler box and have been busy with the aid of some pva adhesive to fasten the walls together have made the basic structure to fit the space available. They said they would be back in a week when the glue had dried and that they were off on holiday for a week. All the best Adrian. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Have a lovely holiday, is there any clue where should be avoided if we don't wish to be turned into a cardboard replica of an under-bridge workshop? Regards Julian 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted May 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2019 How many central heating boilers do you have now Adrian? You seem to buy them just to use the cardboard wrapping. Far be it from me to criticise, but there must be cheaper ways... Al 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not spotted that grey hooded fella lurking at the gate of the recycling compound? He can spot a washer wrapping from half a mile away, slide up the steps to the cardboard container and ease the newly found factory materiel away before the rubbish minders have even noticed his presence.

RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted May 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2019 Thank you all for your generous and funny replies. Boiler boxes are supplied by my next door neighbor who is a plumber, currently we are visiting my son who lives and works in Malta, a country where health and safety and driving standards are non existent but otherwise a great place. All the best for now Adrian. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHC Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Ah Malta where on the car hire paperwork they mark where there is no damage as its a lot easier than making the damage. Great place especially the Fontanella Tea Rooms in Medina. Keith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted May 28, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2019 Mrs W Station and I are back from our holiday and have had a great time, I have brought you all a stick of rock for you to break your teeth on while you peruse what the moaning builders have been up to in my absence. First off as soon as I arrived on site the forman started on me, saying you took the bl..dy plans with you on holiday, (not suprising really as the only plans that exist are in my head and then I make it up as I go along). so we have just had to guess what you wanted, hope you like it. to bad if you don't, I heard him mumble to his mate. His stick of rock will give him something to concentrate on while he extracts it. The outer walls have been made from mount board, and the door has been lifted from a picture on the internet with the addition of a personnel door added, this will be altered later with the addition of some sign writing on the large doors. Enjoy Your Rock. All the best Adrian. 16 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
