RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted May 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wouldn't the fence be creosoted after being built to save getting very dirty and smelly workmen? Or is arse about face the north eastern way of doing things? Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is arse about face the north eastern way of doing things? Mike. I've had pressure creosoted rails and posts delivered from the local estate wood yard many years ago, assuming Darlington would issue them likewise. Bloody awful to work with though but better when left to thoroughly dry out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Maybe it should be painted with camouflage paint? A LNER/NER railway fence earlier today. Note the lamb bar (most of it buried by undergrowth) Mr G. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted May 23, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2016 A little progress on Greyscroft this last weekend, a lineside hut which will be used to help hide the track as it passes over the board joint at a horrible angle. None of this hut was my work though, SWMBO (Nicola) decided she wanted to make something and I thought a Wills hut would be a good start, she was thinking loco actually but eventually I persuaded her this would be better for a complete novice.

Mrkirtley800 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If Nicola would like to do a bit of loco building Paul, refer her to me and I will put her on the right track, so to speak. She might take to engines painted in ----C-----L. Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted May 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2016 Reminds me of when I was at school in Guisborough,the geography teacher made us scetch a cross section of the valley and label what we could see. Those local to the area will know that on clear days it's possible to see the Pennines. I duly scetched the valley an labeled the said hills. The teacher came along and said that it was wrong and they weren't the Pennines........ So I drew on Blackpool tower and the statue of liberty!

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted May 30, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2016 Found some more Ironstone mining videos, this first one a film made in 1956. And stills from North Skelton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted May 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2016 Excellent films,the first time I saw the North Skelton one I was about eight years old at newstead junior school. I'd seen drift mines in Guisborough woods but had no idea there were deep mines with big headstock's so close to where I lived. North Skelton had only closed about nine years previously back then. I've been massively interested in them ever since. I got a still of the secondman in the film but no one seems to be able to identify him, by rights i should have worked with him in the eighties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted June 5, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5, 2016 Work has started again on Greyscroft today, there's a trespass sign appeared and there are flowers all over the place! the buttercups and Forget-me-nots perhaps quite subtle and the Red Campion less so.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted June 5, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5, 2016 Lucky you aren't modelling the rosedale branch,it could have been over the top at Ingleby and by the time it hit Battersby, Mallard's effort some 20 odd years later would look like a walk in the Park!

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted June 10, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2016 The track and mine yard have been painted a sort of mucky brown colour and everything has had a bit of a waft over to tone everything down a bit. There's been a few hens let out into the yard, so hopefully eggs for breakfast. I've decided that the Fergie was a bit too good for a little farm like this so tonight I've rebuilt a whitemetal kit for a Standard Fordson, I built it years ago and I don't know what glue I used but it slowly fell to bits, anyway, it's built a bit more accurately now seen here in primer. Can't remember what make the kit is, any thoughts? On to the mine yard board and it's also been painted and bits of greenery added, the photo also shows where Nicola's hut will go.
