And the rest of us are duly informed of that fact.

Morning all, 

 

Well, a good weekend was had. A soldering session on Sunday morning sorted out Saturday afternoon's pulled wire and though Sunday was quieter than Saturday, it was a good day. 

 

Lots of friendly faces and of note was the official visit yesterday by @Captain Kernow who was graciously accompanied by CTMK. 

 

But as I say, many friendly faces made for a lovely chatty weekend which was rounded off with something very special indeed. 

 

 

Rob.

No surprise to me, although I didn't see the rest, obviously. Your style of layout, developing layout by layout, and chosen form of presentation, clearly touches a chord with a lot of modellers. Perhaps your outgoing personality - quite different from some of us in the hobby - adds a little extra something, too! Well done! 

[Rivercider]

I think Sheep Dip is particularly well done and more interesting because of the different views. A bit like a well designed small garden where you cannot see everything at once.

 

Well done

 

cheers

Nice and shiny.

 

And well deserved.

I was thinking was what CK and CTMK doing in Essex for a model railway exhibition

 

I've now learnt Nailsea is in Somerset, even more embarassing when I know I will have passed Motorway signs or station signs bearing it's name on many occasions whilst popping to Weston.

 

Really must do better...😁

If we ever do venture so far out of our Authorised Zone of Activity, I'll be sure to make sure we present ourselves at a convenient Essex Police Station for arrest and deportation purposes...

Morning all, 

 

Fairly frantic at Chateau Sheep yesterday. The Room of Doom was reorganised with the need to provide a better, more accessible site for Project W to be progressed from. 

Still a bit to play with but pretty much all done so, hopefully, I can now make a proper start on a layout which has it's first public outing in a smidge over 18 weeks. 

 

Rob

 

[NHY 581]

Oh, and in the interim, Ewe is off to the seaside. 

 

 

@exmoordave and the team @Exmoor Coast Railway Modellers really do put on a lovely day and as the above flyer flyer says, it's a friendly show and well worth the trip. Hopefully I won't drop my flake in my wool this year..........

Note the earlier date as well, avoiding a clash with Railwells which itself had to change this year. 

 

Rob.

Just make certain you've washed your fleece and polished your nails.

You can do as per the tradition at the old all-American TVNAM shows in Armitage, Staffs, where the "Do not touch" signs were not because the models were delicate or expensive, but usually because paint & glue on certain layouts was still drying..... 😱 🤣🤣🤣

Are you just trying to save the fare home?

Reminds me of the funny looks my friend and I got at the Workington exhibition in Cumbria.

 

Mostly I think because we were over five feet tall and our van was taxed...

That sounds like the sort of visitors we get in Torbay in the summer

[phil_sutters]

On the bits of the South Downs where they couldn't be bothered to lay tracks over or through the chalk we have to make do with Coasters. The latest versions seem to have caught on to the love of sheep - so devotedly portrayed in this thread. Very comfy buses these are too.

Yes but not on a bridge so you can stand down the Stuka squadron

Phew, that's a relief.

 

Easter is rapidly approaching and we are expected to observe the bank holiday traditions.

 

We're riding over to Morecambe to chuck a few scooters off the pier...

I found an old Milton Jones one-liners video on YouTube yesterday, he told a joke that made me think of this thread....

 

"I saw a sheep pole dancing today. It was in a Kebab Shop"...... 🤣🤣🤣

 

.      Coat, hat, etc....

Image swapped for a more menacing one.

[GMKAT7]

Good morning folks,

 

Did someone mention Stuka? :)

Other options are available on request.

 

Looking forward to seeing Project W Rob when it breaks cover and catching up with you at the MAG event in September.

No progress on 'TNYQ' other lots of testing/playing and looking at structure options.

 

Cheers,

Nigel.

Allow me to introduce you to an alternative image - A 25ft high "Dapper" sheep, dressed in an alternative style wool jacket. . . . . . .
