Life must be returning to something approaching good or normal though, I've found a moment to pop by. Hope you and yours are well. Great pic, take care. C6T. Great to hear from you mate, and thank you. Hope all is well at C6T Manor, and all the best. Al. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, I was hoping to unveil a new small module in a photo and video shoot this Bank Holiday, however the weather is not looking good - as you can imagine taking the layout out in the rain is sub-optimal - so I may not get any footage this time.

MrWolf Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 That stone embankment is something that could inspire an entire layout. I like to squeeze a bridge into any plans for a model (provided that it doesn't have a bus on it of course...) Hope that you don't mind, but I'm stealing the term "sub-optimal" for future use. Such phrases are handy when in polite company where it would be inappropriate to refer to an awkward situation as a "total c#ck thistle". 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it gets a bit warmer I'm hoping to take some video out on the moors in the same location. I've been gathering together all the necessary technical bits to make that possible. I've also started another 2 foot module to add on the end of the embankment board to allow a train to approach from off the embankment. Al. Hi Al. Had visions of you buying up B&Q's entire stock of extension cables or hooking up 11 car batteries in series with a dozen jumper cables. No doubt you have a sensible method of powering the layout for the video! It definitely sounds like something unique! Looking forward to seeing it however you pull it off mate. The latest set of photos are first class. You raised the bar a few notches to a record breaking high, a record you'll hold for quite some time I think.

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted May 18, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2021 Thanks Shaun, I now have a 12V to 240V inverter so I can leave the trailer load of car batteries and the diesel generator set at home The weather is not playing nice at the moment - every weekend so far it's threatened or actually supplied copious quantities of rain - with a bit of hail thrown in for good measure, so I'm getting a bit frustrated in my attempts to take some video "au naturale". I will get it done as soon as I can. Al. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the cold but there's cameras everywhere these days! Had an incident just last week up in the woods after a night of mixing IPAs.

Mike. I think the umm, "urges" involved are slightly different... The location I take the layout is thankfully a bit too remote and windswept for dogging, although I have in the past taken a girlfriend up there for a bit of spooning, and on one memorable occasion a bit of forking...
