I've used their Simplex sound in two tin turtles in SM32 and a friend has few locos in 09 - it really is very good.

Evening all, 

 

Well, we're nearly there. Only a few days to go and I have a bit of time off to catch up. The last week or so has seen me helping out in the shop just about every day due to staff shortage and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.....even though we haven't really stopped. 

 

It's been very busy and reassuringly for this lovely hobby of ours, many customers have been little modellers in with their Mums and Dads......or Mums, Dads and other relatives sneaking in to buy items or vouchers for their little people. Many of these have also been new customers as well, all of which really bodes well for the future. 

 

Most importantly, I'll take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you all for making this thread the social animal that it is and I'm only sorry for my own inactivity as of late, something I hope to improve upon in the New Year. Thank you for the encouragement, banter,  kind words and best wishes throughout the year and in particular those given so readily regarding my wonky hooves. 

 

Many of you fine types have trundled along to the various exhibitions and it's been good to meet up and chat with so many of you. All the shows have been fabulous and I have been very lucky with my invites but my personal highlights have been Railwells ( thank you Spams) , Stafford ( thank you Jay ) ,and Uckfield ( thank you John, Gwyn and Pete )

 

I hope to repeat the catch ups at next year's shows of which, there are a few..........and rest assured I'll be boring you all with the details. 

 

So, may I conclude by wishing you all a Happy Christmas. May it bring you all that you hope for and the peace and goodwill you all so rightly deserve. 

 

Merry Christmas !!

Very best wishes to Rob (and everyone on here), and thank you for all the inspiration you have provided me with - it's cost me a fortune though......🥴

 

 

All Rob's fault, as I keep saying!  🤣

It's arrived, waiting for a Zimo economy to come all packed away in a cupboard untill next week - or at some point when I can use both hands again...

 

Thanks everyone for their imput - this is why I enjoy this thread topic here so much - thank you Rob for allowing the thread drift, it's so educational as well

Regards,

Ian.

Seasons greatings to Ewe and yours (excluding garden sheds, panniers and the Flying Scotsman). Was a pleasure to assist at Railwells, would happily help again. Advice for 2024? Watch your head on low ceilings...

Merry Christmas to you and yours Rob.

Here's to the new year and new creations.

 

Thanks for another year of inspiration, education and humour.

Afternoon all. 

 

Not doing much except for a bit of playing trains........

 

 

Rob. 

 

 

[NHY 581]

Morning all, 

 

Well, we're settling down at Chateau Sheep which is in the midst of some rather damp and blustery weather at present. The Christmas snacks are emerging and all is pretty much okay as it happens. 

I'm retreating to the Room of Doom shortly to finish off a couple of home made Crimbo cards ( it's what we do between the immediate family ) which are a bit more personalised that the commercial jobs. 

 

For those of you who are travelling, have a safe journey and I'll leave this older view of Sheep Dip just by yer ( as we say hereabouts ) 

 

 

Rob

Morning all, 

 

Hope everyone's Christmas is going well. Things are ticking over at Chateau Sheep with the prep ongoing for a kit built roast beef dinner. 

 

However, I've managed a bit of noisey shunting with this little chap this morning.....

 

 

GER C53 No.127 from Rapido's sound fitted train pack.

Much dinging of bells, hissing of Westinghouse pumps and general chuffing about.

Plus the sound of garden tools being returned to their pegs...

Morning all, 

 

Happy New Year to all the Monocled Muttoneers who frequent the Sheep Chronicles. 

 

Here's to more of the same in 2024 !
