Morning all, 

 

Suffice to say, the reconstruction of Ewe is maintaining it's molluscesque progress.......this is going to be a lot closer than I would have liked......an awful lot closer.............

Oh, I don't know .... on the morning of a 1 day show I once had to build a new pair of layout legs in the exhibition hall carpark as we had left one behind at the clubroom, the layout was nearly built when we realised "err, urm .... oh !"

 

Good luck with the mods.

Morning all, 

 

Rather a late one last night but some progress made. Noticed I'd forgotten the lighting baffles which sits in front of the middle strip light..........No suitable stripwood in stock to facilitate same and too late to nip to shop selling same. 

 

So off to the said shops after the school run. 

 

But, hopefully, layout reassembly this morning, starting about now actually. However, there will be a delay whilst I make and fit that pesky light baffle thing. 

 

Then clean, check and test the trainset. 

 

Then try and  remember what I've forgotten before packing.

Away the lads. And onward he trunddled.

I am planning to get over to Uckfield on Saturday - looking forward to finally seeing one of Rob's creations!

[2ManySpams]

I was intending visiting Uckfield this weekend with @Mark Forrest and @Old Gringo but I'm suffering from the dreaded manflu at the moment. Gutted.

[NHY 581]

Progress............

 

 

Initial situation......

 

Ewe perched on china cabinet...work ongoing to the ends and roof

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ends now fitted. They were extended both upwards, to hold the new roof/lights and outwards to afford some protection to the frontage...

 

 

Roof now drops between the uprights. 

 

 

 

 

Still some snagging to take care of but moving on.

Very nice but does it have somewhere to store the cold cup of tea?

[JustinDean]

Smart. 

[Gilbert]

Seems like you've finished an important part of the layout just in time to forget to load it into the Sheepmobile....

Edited October 19, 2023 by Gilbert

[NHY 581]

Pretty much done. Loading AM. 

 

[Gilbert]

Have a good trip down - will see you Sunday if I make it....

[NHY 581]

Evening all, 

 

Apologies for the late posting but it's been a long day. 

 

As planned, Sheep One was loaded and on the road shortly after 10. However, we soon were caught up in the aftermath of the tragic events on the M4 and didn't arrive until after 5pm. 

 

However, Ewe is up and after a nice evening in the pub, one is about to retire......

 

Ewe in situ. 

 

 

 

 

[ELTEL]

Would have liked to gone to Uckfield but a bit of a long way from Stafford 

 

Ive had enough travel problems today with rail cancellations and flooded roads.

 

Hope it all goes well and look forward to a few photographs.

Indeed ! Odd angle caught the light. Strange, it doesn't seem THAT cold in there !

Certainly not. In the true restaurant car tradition, the only potatoes on a breakfast plate should be sautéed.

[MrWolf]

I do enjoy a fried breakfast, even though I probably only have two a year. 

I mourn the demise of the greasy spoon. 

We generally have an egg and bacon sandwich when we go for a ride out, but the Memsahib can't manage more than half a fry up,* so I don't indulge.

 

*Which is no bad thing 😉
