Apparently I have a calcifying spinal column as a result of damage and sunsequent operation and this is not trapping nerves causing the pain. Result is not been doing any modelling.Anyway will let you know more but in the meantime just to let you know that Bridge of Muir is out this weekent at the Perth Green show.

trains12 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi all A bit belated but here are a few shots that I took at the Perth Green Show. Nothing new been done on the modelling side due to major problems of 2 trapped nerves in my spine. Won't know for a while but been advised not to do any long distance driving and can't do much modelling due to my hands shaking from the nerves. The good news is have just bought a new lens for taking close ups but can't hold the camera unless it is on a tripod. Peter 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains12 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Mick Many thanks for that photo. Was up there 12 months ago at the side ofthe track and waited for over an hour and wasn't one engine/dmu or anything came through. In the end was told by daughters and wife I had to give it up so thanks for that shot. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nice pics Peter, I hope you get better soon, and as for using the Tripod, I have to all the time now as I always move as the shutter goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trains12 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hi All Well work has started on the building of a shed for the display of Glen Gillie, Bridge of Muir. The first item was the cutting down of a large tree which would be at the end of the shed. This was found to be damaged with a Ash fungia and had to be felled. A for to big a job for me so over the last two days down it has come. This will leave room for the shed to be built at 40ft X 12ft at least. Will keep you all informed.

Jintyman Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hi Peter, I hope you are feeling somewhat better now. Sorry I've not been over, had a few health problems of my own to deal with. I must make some time soon to pay you a visit. As Andy mentions, will the shed allow you to vacate the unit? Al;l the very best Jinty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains12 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hi Jinty Thanks for your comments. You will be most welcome to come over. It gets a little lonly. Yes some time in the future when we have got the barn repaired and we can get the other layouts, GTD, Porth Eithin etc back up here then we will close the shop down and generally retire. At present am thinking of selling Cheona Publications. Any way hope to see you soon. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains12 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi All Just a quick shot of how it looks with out the tree. The mounds of wood that you can see all need to be cut up now. There are three other piles the other side of the wall. Any offers? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted June 10, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 10, 2016 There are three other piles the other side of the wall. Any offers? I'd love these Peter, but too far to come to get them. I'm sure that you'll find some local woodburner users who are keen for some freebies with logs running around £70 a load or more.

sixoh8sixoh Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I was following this thread about the time the lighthouse was being constructed but have missed its progress since until recently. The bridge based on Connel Ferry is an absolute masterpiece! The whole layout is excellent and I hope I get the chance to see it in the flesh at a show sometime.

Donington Road Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi Peter, there has not been much action reported here for awhile, hoping you are well. I came across some more photos of Connel Ferry Bridge on another web site thread http://onehouse.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=67140 You may or may not have seen them before, here is a taster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains12 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi All Not been on for some months due to health problems including blood disorder, now under control, and ongoing laser treatment and injections in both eyes. However at long last the new home for most of my layouts is well under construction here at the house. Hopefully this means that 3 of the layouts, Bridge of Muir, GlenGillie & Loch Inch and GTD together with 2 other of my stored layouts will also be housed. Have attached a few photos of the 'small shed' (45' x 17') as it is being built just to give you an idea of the size of the project. Will post some more updated ones as now has walls and roof. Hope to be able to start lining it all out this weekend and getting the electrics installed in preperation for moving the layouts. Hi Donnington Road, Many thanks for the photos and sorry not replied earlier. Some of you may not know but Hornby Magazines second volume of the best 25 layouts is now out and Glen Gillie & Loch Inch is featured in it. Will try and keep updates going now and get back into the swing of things. 3 views showing the digging out of the slope The sub frame being built, unfortunately 9" higher than planned due to a boulder that could not be dug out. The side panels slowly going up together with the internal floor. Cheers Peter 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danemouth Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Peter, It's lovely to hear from you again and to know you are on the mend. That's a very impressive railway room being erected! Warmest Regards to you and Wendy, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quite a project you are embarking on, space that many of us will be drooling over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
