RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted April 19, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2023 Pub roof update... The roof tiles are in Cornwall, the unfinished building is in Staffordshire, I'm in Hertfordshire - and the whole ensemble needs to be in Somerset by 12:30 on Saturday for a trip to the seaside for chips and cider. What could possibly go wrong? 2 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Stu, I appreciate the offer. The slates are in the safe and capable hands of those wonderful people at Royal Mail. They had made it as far as Wolverhampton by 4:30 this morning so with a bit of luck they'll be at home before I am. Fingers crossed. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I had a couple of strips of ply in the garage that did the job. Having the luxury of a van to shift the layout in meant I could make the beam in one piece rather than having a join in the middle. As the layout is now longer, I've raised the front fascia slightly, but ensured that it still hides the top edge of the backscene from normal viewing distance. Love the lighthouse as a view blocker!😆 saw layout once in short form....look forward to seeing in longer format 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted April 22, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2023 Last few bits to put in the van this morning and I'll be ready to set off. It's been a while since I've taken a layout to a show, I think last time was May 2019 when the original Fryers Lane appeared at an exhibition in Bloxwich. Have to say, I'm a bit out of practice and a little nervous that I might have forgotten something! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark did say he had a few bits to put in the van, suspect Fiddle yard is one of those things, once he’s finished it’s legs? Or wiring up? Maybe a lick of paint? Mind you, mess around with details like that, what’s he going to do when he gets there? Well other than eat chips. Andy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
