HSB Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Now you should be able to see it. I'm struggling with Clipchamp which isn't as easy to use as the video editor with Windows 10! Edited December 20, 2022 by HSB 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) We've only managed a couple of sessions this week. mainly because Rod has been having back problems, but today I at last got around to building some supports for underneath the lucam. I've also now got all the windows in the rear wall glued in place but yet to be glazed while Rod has been working on some steps to go against the loading platform.

HSB Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 We've done a bit more on the layout yesterday and today with the doors which will access the loading and unloading platforms now fitted and handles added made from bent and filed brass wire. I've also started making a roof for the lucam while Rod has been working on the footsteps up to the lower platform. We have now decided these will be at right-angles to the platform rather than alongside it and will be shortened. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 I've been able to finally glue a few walls together so this end of the building is now freestanding. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
railwayrod Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hi Paul. It is sad to say that this years Christmas Special had to be cancelleded owing to industrial action on the part of the rail unions. Even volunteers were banned from running the Special and were threatened with expulsion from the union and the railway. This was the first time in almost 35 years that a Christmas Special in one form or another has not operated. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 A little bit more progress this week with a roof in place on the extension and the brickwork on the lower platform and steps painted. I've also assembled and painted a few more windows. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 All the windows in the rear wall have now been glazed and all the windows in the main left-hand wall have been fitted but not yet glazed. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 The windows in the left-hand wall have now been glazed and the boiler house has now been glued in place so this end no longer needs to be propped up against the mock-up which can now be dispensed with. The final five windows for the front have also been assembled and painted ready to be glued in next week. I have temporarily pushed the front and back into position to take this picture:- 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 After a short gap when first I had a cold and then Rod got one a few days later we managed to get a session in yesterday when I glued the last five windows in place. A while ago Rod assembled an LNWR loading gauge which was 3D printed for us by Chris Ward which I have now positioned in the goods yard. I'm not convinced a station like Ramchester where goods would be mainly incoming actually needs a loading gauge but Rod wanted one so here it is. We had a visit from Peter Crichton (Savoyard) today who brought a Lenz loco and crane he's recently purchased but I'll leave it to Rod to put some pictures up. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 All the windows are now glazed and I've also done a bit more work on the roofs. I thought I'd take a picture of the rear of the building for a change. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Not a lot of progress over the last few weeks as either one or both of us always seem to be tied up with other things but I have started adding some guttering and slates to parts of the brewery. We bought some guttering from Modelu but I found it far too fragile and impossible to cut to length without it disintegrating so I have gone back to using half round plastic rod with just the odd Modelu detailing part here and there..

Sorry to hear you have had some problems with the guttering, do you want to send me a message and can try to see what has happened here.

HSB Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) No more progress on Ramchester to report as both Rod and I have both been away on a short walking holiday in Ilfracombe with a rambling club we belong to. Our walk on Tuesday included the 1 in 36 climb out of Ilfracombe Station along the old trackbed. While the station itself is long gone there is a running in board and a gradient sign outside the town museum. The path passes through a short tunnel and under a couple of road bridges along the way and there are a couple of platelayer's huts and a fixed distant signal beside the track.

HSB Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 We haven't been able to spend a lot of time in Rod's shed over the last few weeks but the roofs and guttering on the brewery are slowly progressing. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Harrap Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Great day out at Thornbury with Rod and Howard, thank you both. Thought you might like to see the 3way crossing nose I was on about for the new tramway layout, but don't hold your breath. Baron 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 As Brian has said we went to the Bristol Exhibition on Sunday which we all enjoyed. Way back before they built the M5 visiting the Bristol Exhibition was the highlight of the modelling year as it was about as far as it was practical to drive for an exhibition and I remember a whole gang of us from South Devon MRS packed into the back of Brian's van. I've done a bit more work on the brewery this week with a couple of downpipes now in place. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
