RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 8, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2018 Morning all. Will be packing Sheep Lane this evening. This should be interesting as I am travelling in Sheep One, our Vauxhall Corsa due to a double booking with Sheep Two. Not sure if it will all fit (layout fine, supporting structure snug methinks) It will be an adventure for sure. Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2018 Are none of the work's V70s or X5s available? You'd make much better time too... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 8, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2018 Nope Stubbers, no company car these days. I shall take it easy in Sheep One which is sat in the garage, loaded and ready to go. It was s bit of a squeeze. Hopefully I will remember how it all went in when it comes to loading up the end of the day. Mind you, I have got to get there yet!!! I mean what could possibly go wrong with a thirteen year old car that has not been used for four years... Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2018 You'll need two afters now, in that case. May I suggest ice cream and perhaps a cheese cake? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 10, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2018 Two B4s...... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 15, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2018 Another 'flavour of Bleat Wharf'image...... I am hoping to start construction before too much longer....and I have to say I am looking forward to getting started. A bit more scheming before then methinks but at least the motive power is sorted. Midland wise, the show last weekend confirmed that the 3F/4F are splendid models. Southern wise the B4 have not disappointed. A small mod to the front coupling has raised the droopy tension lock by way of a brass washer inserted. To be honest I am enjoying running these B4s such is their superb slow running. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Fathers day has brought the base board for Bleat Wharf. An IKEA Lack occasional table gives an area of 1200mm x 400mm. Looks like it is time to get started......finally! Rob.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 19, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2018 A few more views of the mock up of Bleat. I am trying to keep the open look and this is looking quite promising.. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2018 One of these would look good... http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/60276/KMR-015-Dapol-Sentinel-Steam-Locomotive-number-47182 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have just purchased the track for Bleat Wharf. Therefore it will have to wait for a bit.......but yes it is a distinct probability. First impressions are that it will all fit in...couple of minor snags to solve but if I can get some time this weekend, we may have something running by Sunday.....maybe...ish......

The running sessions have not thrown up too many issues.All seems to work okay but there are a couple of bits to fine tune. Oh and the B4 is a splendid runner.....did I mention that? Rob.

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted June 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2018 Nice cabinet. Ah, there was me thinking he'd gone all posh and built a station with a fancy canopy, not that the Trans-Atlantic liner trade featured that large in Bleat Wharf's ledgers, they were ever hopeful.
