Tortuga Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 During the extra hot weather, the hand built track on Alsop suffered severe warpage and now the three way point no longer switches smoothly… Put it to one side Chris and focus on another section for a bit, then come back to it later. It’ll probably look recoverable after a break from it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted August 31, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thanks for all the support, I’m sure I’ll do something about it once I’ve finished sulking 🙄 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’d have posted that yesterday I’d have probably taken an axe to the layout but I’m stubborn and don’t like to give up easy so I have re-ordered the required bits Sarah also suggested to leave it a little and come back when you feel up to it (in other words when you’ve stopped sulking) 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went out last night because the neighbors fire alarm was going off for three hours before someone came to reset it. Neither of us can stand electronic noise. A hurtle round the Trough of Bowland stopped our ears ringing if nothing else. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Nick C Posted August 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2022 Going out for a good long walk solves many problems in my view. Except for having Covid, which is stopping me going for any walks at all at the moment, or doing much else... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I had myself I didn’t realise just how debilitating it was, just getting up to make a cuppa felt like a big effort Hope you get well very soon 4 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishplate Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hi Chris, sorry to hear about your spillage. Everyone on here are rooting for you. All part of the caring and supportive RMWeb community. Good to be on here for inspiration people like you give and support you and others can give back when things don't go to plan, isn't it? This and the other threads I follow all have the same vibe. Best wishes and hoping for a positive de-spillage. John 1 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted August 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2022 So you know Ms RRH has a Sten gun right? ( cue Wolfy with said pic of Miss Riding Hood avec Sten). Regards Lez. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Yes, but she's actually a rather sensitive soul who would much prefer to be remembered for her musical and academic achievements than for her eccentricities or somewhat erratic behaviour...😇 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 As many have said - don't give up Chris. Your modelling is great, and I'm sure you can overcome this latest setback. Give it a day or so and hopefully you will have a plan to repair the damage. No point beating yourself up over what has happened. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hi Chris, just caught up with your thread and sorry to hear of your spillage. I hope you feel better about it today and if you ned a break nothing wrong with that at all. Your modelling is stunning and you've an undoubted talent so I've no doubt that you will bounce back with an idea or plan to rectify it, I'll look forward to seeing some more updates. Take care. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted September 2, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2022 A barge has arrived today along with an oversized bucket I hoped I could get away with the over scale bucket as a coal hoist tipping bucket but I think it might be too big? The barge will require sanding to within an inch of its life but I’m sure I can do something with it 13 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
