My current RTP bash...

 

Raw material.

 

Some mild destruction later.

 

Clay dries meet multitool (and vacuum for the nasty dust)

 

Chimney unit becomes a furnace.

 

Other minor mods...

 

Starting on the rebuild. (Tape and aluminium angle are just to hold things steady while the glue and filler dry)

 

The joy of using power tools to cut up RTP buildings

Just watched this rather chilly scene but enjoyable I thought...

 

 

Nice Toplights !

No idea as it was posted by @cary hill back in June 2017 on page 983. There was a discussion on whether I needed a BWT.

I seem to recall the answer was yes, you do need a Beattie Well Tank. Long overdue IMO.

Very realistic, I like the firebox flicker towards the end & the Hoover on standby.

 

Plus who makes the Toplights?

I'm relieved that Boris didn't just announce the need for me to get one in these unprecedented and rapidly escalating times.

Good afternoon all, on this first day of another lockdown, I will shortly be posting up a photograph to cheer everyone up, especially those who miss our wonderful Taunton get-togethers.

Well I'm really surprised no one has mentioned these. If I were Hatton's I'd be a bit p***ed off.
