Porth Merryn, Small Cornish Fishing Port

[lmsforever]

Should have been your layout fingers wont type what I want to!

[Andrew P]

Thanks lmsforever, I know the feeling, type it, re read it, it looks fine, post it and bu99er me its all gone wong. hahha

[Andrew P]

So the Pigs now have Pig a Loos and have had a roll in the muck.

 

 

I have lifted the wall I put in yesterday behind the Fish Store / Cottages, it made the Layout to unbalanced with all wall at one end, so a re think is in progress as we speak.

[Andrew P]

And now the Trailer has arrived with the Chickens, sorry about the blurred pics, they wouldn't keep still.

 

And whose moved the Emoticons all about?

 

Anyway back to the Chicken Pics.  

 

 

 

 

 

More pics later

[Andrew P]

And I've been experimenting with a four Bar Fence at the back of the Cottages, it will eventually have Shrubs up against it once its been painted etc.and I feel it gives a lighter look now behind the Cottages.

 

 

 

 

I've also looked at the possibility of a Gated entrance to the Dock Side and Fish House that is still in use today.

 

 

 

And adding a wall along the front of the Goods siding will give me the opportunity for some Greenery. 

 

 

I've also started a Gents Loo but it needs another coat of Paint and then the Gentleman's Sign on it.

 

Whoops sorry Sir, I'm NOT looking, hahha.

Good god Andy, slow down a bit! Rome wasn't built in a day you know ... Although it might have been with you at the helm! Hehe!

 

Seriously, it's coming on really well now, love the detail. Have you used brass rod to create the four bar fence? At this rate you'll be done and finished by 1st June .... Or is that the plan to allow you to get on with the O Gauge! Hahaha! Looks really good, wish I could progress at the same rate!

Thanks and Good morning Rich, there's loads to do yet, like the Quayside / Water / Goods Yard / Door for the Factory Building etc. I don't tend to rush thing, I just normally plan the day ahead and I sometimes I look at things like the wall I've just removed and think it looks wrong.

Yes it was Brass Rod for the fence, I tried doing one once with cotton and it was a nightmare but I think this will look O.K. once painted etc.

Yes, I'd agree. I think the brass rod looks good and works very effectively. Carry on that man!!!

Morning all, well an hour down with Mum this morning and then back to paint the Railings, re fix the Wall and Ballast the bit of Track along the back, (the Rails and Sleepers were painted the other day).

 

 

 

I still need a Gate Post to be fitted.

 

And I've weathered the Wall near the Goods Yard.

[Broadoak]

I am sorry to say I have only just happened upon this superb model.

It really is excellent and most attractive.

My God you're handpainting chickens?

[Ray H]

I reckon you're in trouble Andy.

 

How can you build a railway so close to those poor animals and still expect to get decent quality sausages and eggs?

[St Enodoc]

It's a time saving trick. The creatures will be so shaken up by the passing trains and the constant rebuilding of their surroundings that the pork will come out already minced and the eggs will come out already scrambled.

Cheers Guys, if there was a Gin Factory there would it be SHAKEN and not Stirred? HAHhahah

Thank you Peter, I hope you continue to enjoy it, also it might be worth having a look at Pencarne, (plug plug, see link below) for a Rural Scene.

[Andrew P]

That's it for today Guys, coffee in a mo then watch the Grand Prix. Since Lunch I've done the Gardens for the Cottages and fitted the Gate for the Quay Side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've also made a start on the Goods Yard.

Hello Mate, Really like the new additions to the layout, really looking the part....

[5BarVT]

 

And whose moved the Emoticons all about?

 

Andy, You are king of the emoticons and I would like to follow timidly in your footsteps but I haven't a clue where to find them. Can you point me in the direction to get started.

 

Thanks :-), Paul.

[Andrew P]

Cheers George, the Gardens certainly do brighten up the Layout, just a pity there at the back.

Hi Paul, when you do a Post / Reply there should be a box along the top of the typing area. it has things like BOLD ITALIC UNDER SCORE AND CROSSOUT Font and Size, next to that should be Colour and the Emoticons face,   just click on it and it should bring a load up, to the right is an arrow for more options, but you can only use 10 per post.                  Hope this helps. if not PM Andy Y.

[5BarVT]

All Mr Apple's fault   and me being lazy.  I browse RMweb on my tablet because I have it with me when I'm away or sitting in my recliner and it doesn't bring up the toolbars in the reply box.  I suppose I could always use my work laptop  .  I'll just have to be patient and wait 'til I get home!

Thanks AndyP.

 

Paul.

Just one little job this morning before picking Mum up for Lunch. Re done the Toilet Block and put the sign on, its ready for demolishing and re building soon as it Rusty old Cast Iron.

Stone me, first you're being cruel to pigs and chickens and now you're having Mum for lunch! Were the eggs and bangers that bad?

[Edwardian]

You're are on fire, storming through this.  All excellent developments, though if I had to choose particular highlights, the feeding pigs and chickens and that convincingly scabby Gents.

Cheers Guys, I'm hoping to get on the Harbour wall later when I get back from the Doctors, I also have a weathering job to do today as well so we'll see how time goes.

 

I've also decided NOT to put a gate across here as it's a lovely photo opportunity position.
