Bonjour Timbo. 

 

Nope. A classic case of now you see it, now you don't. 

 

More to follow......

Personally, I've always wondered why the 15xx class was ever devised - they are very front-end heavy and despite lots of grunt were never very useful. An aberration, with one of the toughest route restrictions applied.

 

I could understamnd the 94xx as an updated 57xx, but not the outside cylindered job, which you always expected to trip itself up?

 

Sorry, but I just can't see the appeal - thank goodnees they only built 10!

 

Regards

A few nondescript bushes have been dotted about

And a most agreeable vista they comprise as well. If you were to look very closely, would these have 'MBR' endorsed on their roots, by any chance?

I've long campaigned for some trees but a goodly collection of shrubberies will do. Well done that man.

Morning both and Danke. 

 

Yes, Tim, they are products of  our friends at MBR. However they are no quite as the arrived from Poland. 

 

The bushes to the rear of SD are in fact 'large trees' which have been, ahem...."re'purposed".

As purchased they were nice but a bit 'stately home' in a far too regular sort of  way. Inspired by John's gift of MBR sticky up bush things, I set to the trees and cut off the branches laying out the foliage in a bushy bramblesque manner.

It appears to work. It will certainly do for now.

Rob. 

I’ve also used the repurposing technique of hacking up an MBR tree for bushes on Llanyblod. I was surprised just how much shrubbery you can get out of just one tree.

Yes, it looks great for now, but Sheepbloke will need a lot more trees and shrubs at the front if he starts running panniers.
