I get a fair bit of ingress into the locos 

 

That's an interesting comment Rob, may I ask what glue you use for the static grass ? 

 

I must admit that I wouldn't have expected it to happen.

Hi Grahame..

 

I've used either neat PVA or thinned PVA. I suspect the issues arise from fibres which have remained loose despite several passes of the hoover. I've also used 6mm fibres in places and it's possible these are simply too long and get pulled as the loco passes. 

 

It's not a big issue but one to be aware of.

I must admit that I've been a bit paranoid about this kind of thing on Bethesda Sidings, although I don't have track anything like as overgrown as it is in the Dip of Sheep. Several passes with Henry's nozzle held (firmly) at very close range, accompanied at the same time with gentle brushing with a largish 'fluffy' type paint brush, to encourage non-glued fibres to get a move on.

A little bird tells me that Sheep Dip is in the December:o issue of BRM Mr Sheep Bloke.;)

 

I am or not in a position to confirm or deny whether that is or isn't correct.....or incorrect........

 

I thank you.

And there you have it. 

 

The return of the Sheep Chronicles. 

 

Hopefully what what will follow will be a Winter of  updates and playing trains.

We do. I have resolved to do more of that.  We should never underestimate how relaxing it is.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I got as far as 8,030 and lost count. I now have repetitive strain injury from having to click the 'like' button so many times in quick succession.

 

But it's all worth while!
