Hi Pete,
Great to see this one again. It was your model of Moorswater that led me to RMweb and the discovery of 2mmFS. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment.
Hope you and the family are keeping well.
Best regards,
Jeremy

Very nice modelling as always. Looks like the beverage shelf also provides ample space for a selection of appropriate biscuits to complement the tea!

I might have a 4mm scale drawing somewhere....

That's a nice little project going on there. Very neat ballasting too and I've think you've got it spot on!
Best regards and stay safe,

Great to see you again at the show Pete, and nice to finally see the brilliant Kyle in the flesh. Loving the sound chipped 37, really was atmospheric seeing it creeping in to the station.
best regards,

Brilliant video mate! I was watching one of these "unboxing" videos a little while back and it's arguably the most painful unboxing video ever. It takes 10 minutes before you even see a train! The bloke has bought a DCC train......but doesn't have a DCC controller or even A LAYOUT TO RUN IT ON!!!!! WT.....

Looking fantastic!

Hi Dave,
Absolutely love your updates on Sherton Abbas. The coal mounds look great and really fit into the overall scene and flavour of the period. The coal merchants horse drawn cart that you mentioned will really complete the scene.
Looking forward to the next update!
Best regards,
Jeremy

Would love to learn how to do this sort of stuff.

Hi Pete,
Looks really good mate and the back scene carries the eye on further as it fits really nicely with the static grass.
How are you doing the ballast? Will it be the usual technique of wetting with a sprayer and then dribbling on a pva/water/drop of washing liquid mix?
Best regards,
Jeremy

Coming along nicely Pete. You could always try some powders for the track weathering like TomE has done on his Ropley layout.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Best regards,

Maybe we should start a curry receipes thread on here.....skills and knowledge section!

Nice one! We had chicken this year for a change and we curried some left overs a couple nights ago.
Here’s a good turkey curry receipe I tried a couple years ago, very tasty!

Hi Pete,
That's a cracking idea and I love the mock up. Plenty of scope for a variety of traction too.
Look forward to seeing it develop.

Looks good mate! To be honest, all of your layouts have been excellent so really looking foward to this one.
Have you still got Paddock Wood?
Best regards,

Hi Dave,
Absolutely stunning! I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the progress on your layout and the end result is simply superb! You have really captured the atmosphere of a country terminus station.
Have fun operating it at the Cardiff exhibition!
Best regards,
Jeremy

Looks good that. What will be the dimensions of the layout?
Best regards,

Fantastic modelling again. I do like your Manchester Pullman, well worth all the effort.

Hi Andy,
Reallly like the EMU's and you've almost convinced me to scratch build a 310 for my layout!
Best regards,
Jeremy

Thank you Jeremy,
Just as an aside I saw your question on weed killing trains at Euston. Although it's a bit out of your time slot I used to work at Euston PSB 1973-77 and can remember 6Z07 appearing one night. It came up the DC Line to the station, propelled onto the Backing out Roads, ran round (Top n tail wasn't widespread then), then went direct to Camden and back down the DC Line. The view from the Box windows were a bit impaired by the Parcel Dock canopy, but it was hauled by a 25 and the train, if I remember, was made up of several tank wagons sandwiched between a couple of converted Southern PMVs and a staff accommodation coach, possibly Mark 1. I don't know if it was spraying at the time, I suspect it was only covering the DC Lines from South Hampstead.
Moving on I do have a few, not too good pictures, of the Weedkilling train around 1989. At this time it was top n tailed by a pair of 20s 20901 and 20904, both in grey with Hunslet-Barclay branding. The pictures of the train were not so good as I only had an ancient 'wind on' camera and missed bits! In this case there were four tank wagons at one end with the converted PMVs and a couple of accommodation vehicles at the other. This train roamed all over the different regions, so it might have turned up at Euston?
Andy.
Hi Andy, many thanks for the info. Maybe I'll do an early 70's style weedkiiler train for interest.

Looks good mate! I have 3 Lima class 60's sitting in a box and they are great models for their age. There's a few videos on YouTube where people have upgraded the motors. Worth checking out.
Look forward to seeing the transformations.
Cheers,
Jeremy
