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.

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...

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.

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!

A few more views of the mock up of Bleat. I am trying to keep the open look and this is looking quite promising..

Very much in agreement, Stubbers. 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......

Morning all.

 

Further playing.....er testing has taken place this morning. 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?

In other fake News...

 

Heddlu De Cymru have found stolen keys to the house safe in the rear garden of a Public House in Bleat Wharf. 

 

They have issued a description of the suspect who is believed to be wearing a sheepskin coat and driving a Vauxhall Corsa.
