steve W Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Ah, now I understand! I sometimes 'look in' on German language narrow gauge forums; when my mediocre language skills hits the buffers I turn to Gobgle translate for clarity, but have been amazed at how poor this (and similar) software is at stringing two meaningful sentences together in English - but this is no longer the case. Having just looked back at the last handful of posts here, ostensibly and vaguely about West of England branchline modelling, I can see why the computer 'brain' is no match for it's human counterpart. Keep up the good work chaps, I'm taking the advice of Olddudders quoted 'Spitfire' ad - but mine's a 'Proper Job' Steve W Edited July 10, 2018 by steve W 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work chaps, I'm taking the advice of Olddudders quoted 'Spitfire' ad - but mine's a 'Proper Job' Steve W Bonjour Steve......Ostensibly and vaguely.........well yes....ish...I accept we do wander off but there is the occasional bout of modelling, honest guvnor. The issue I have is that I am actually doing a bit of modelling at present hence the haphazard updates from yours truly. A summary of recent activity. Bleat Wharf- track in scenic section laid and operating. Slight tweak required as I have made a horses arse of one section. Wiring and fiddly yard to follow but clearance tests are okay. Worked out how to operate the entry turnout so need to put it together. Operationally it seem fun. Just need to make sure it looks okay. First show is the Small Cardiff show in January 2019 Sheep Lane-Working fine and some operating carried out. Most recently over breakfast this morning. Next show at Swansea in October Mutton- A few jobs to do ahead of its next show at Cardiff in October. Details mainly. Some nice Shirescenes barrows and seats which will also appear on Sheep and Bleat. However, the small matter of the World cup matches to attend to. So, at present Bleat is the priority..........but so is having a chuckle....... Ps....I would avoid google translate........really.......English to Czech has produced some crackers... 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob is longer-suffering than some. I was asked to withdraw a remark on another thread recently - the OP only wants his photos and videos and suitable adulation on there. Another thread-owner periodically posts the terrifying words Topic Reset. As for the Spitfire ad, it was one of a series devised by/for Shepherd Neame back in the day. Most - e.g. Bottle of Britain, Victoria Cross, Downed all over Kent just like the Luftwaffe, etc etc, made it into full scale campaigns in London and environs. This one didnae, but hey - what a great poster! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 10, 2018 Struth. There is a very fine 2mmFS layout called that - St Ruth. It is based upon Penzance, and I've always wondered whether the group were discussing a location and it was suggested - whereupon someone said strewth.

steve W Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 With mentions of 'forum etiquette' I feel I may have caused some discord. If so, I humbly apologise as this was not intended. I have followed this delightful thread for some time and been throroughly amused by the meanderings and equally inspired by Rob's modelling. For my part, I do model and thoroughly appreciate that Bleat Wharf, like Rome is not a one day job. A few years ago I exhibited a layout at the old Shepherd Neame brewery, at the end of the day expenses were paid in the form of a collection of their very fine products. I also did one at the Thamesmead pumping station - fortunately they paid expenses in cash. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I will happily attend any exhibition where beer is offered as payment and I am both flattered and gratified that my rambling efforts offer some inspiration.
