Don't think so.  As I understand it valves blow, but atmospheric railways suck...

I don't need to see 'The Lion King'. I'm not interested in that ad.

 

OK, Google, so you'll 'try not to show that ad again'.

 

I don't believe you, Google, you lying basta*d.

Off to WT for a browse.

Morning all. 

 

An end of an era for the Sheep Chronicles today. 

 

If things go according to plan, Sheep Lane will be residing in pastures new this evening.  Currently it is on the dining table, where it was originally meant to be played with. A pleasant evening was had yesterday making sure all as well as Sheep Lane had not been out and about since it's appearance at the Midland Small Layout show case June '18. 

 

God bless it, Sheep Lane got me back into  active modelling after quite a few years of inactivity and allowed me to learn lots of new things. I would also venture that I have come into contact with a lot of fine modelling types, both directly and indirectly as a result.

 

Rob.

Hope it's going to a good new fold Rob.

Glad I saw it last year then Rob, any chance of a couple of overhead shots please before it goes, and a quick reminder of it's dimensions as well please in English, not that metronic jargon that I can never translate.

Never mind the notes. Are his legs on the right way round. I've seen the man wearing shorts and there was something distinctly perturbing.

So back on topic!

Shame it's going Rob, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the build and it's given me more than a few ideas as well. I'd better make sure I save some photo's of it, can you say where it's of to? I wonder if I might end up seeing it somewhere.

Morning Steve et al. 

 

Sheep Lane is now in the hands of Mike, Durham Light Infantry of the parish. 

 

I know he has plans to continue to exhibit Sheepy 'oop Norf'. 

 

The proceeds will be channelled into Lambston which should progress quite quickly with most items already in stock. 

 

 

I feel a trip to IKEA coming on........after Wells. 

 

Will be leaving shortly to rv with Spams and other equally shady types. 

 

Creme de Menthe.

Folks 'oop norf' are in for a treat!  Sheep Lane was inspirational, validation of my decision to 'revert' to tension lock couplers, an example of how good coarse scale RTR 00 can be made to look with a bit of care, weathering, and attention to detail.  I've seen alleged fine scale P4 masterpieces that it knocks into a cocked hat, as do all of Rob's ovine layouts.

How's this Andy?

[NHY 581]

Evening Jonners. 

 

Thank you for those kind words. 

 

I simply try to make the best use of what is available.

 

Railwells was a great day out with lots to look at and very decent people to catch up with. 

 

Amongst the many laughs today there was much to inspire. 

 

Farringdon and Black Lion Crossing stood out for me but Sheep croft yard appealed as well. 

 

Here are a few images from the show. 

 

It's all in the detail don't you know. 

 

Rob. 

 

 

[NHY 581]

Skipping back to Sheep Lane, 

 

Thanks Mike. 

 

Andy, 

 

The scenic section is a tad over 43 inches long  by a tad over 10 inches wide. 

The shelves are two inches deep. 

 

The fiddly yard is 31 and one half long, width and depth as per scenic section. 

 

Rob.
