cornish trains jez

I can imagine! Did you fix the sleapers in place and then thread the rail? I've tried that in the past and found that passing the rail along gets progressivly harder, and you then run the risk of bending the rail or damaging the chairs.

 

Tom.

I did and it was a nightmare to thread the rail, like you say it gets progressively harder. I did bend the rail so I had to cut the end off and thread a new piece from the other end.

Hi Jeremy.

 

Looking good so far!

 

Is there a reason you decided to glue down the sleapers individually, apart from insanity!

 

Tom.

Thanks Tom. I laid the sleepers individually as the templot plan sleeper spacing was slightly wider than the spacing on each easitrac sprue. I doubt I'll do it again as it was a nightmare threading the rail onto them!

Neat work as always Pete! I may have to drop by at Burgess Hill again to see this one.

What a lovely project. Look forward to seeing it all painted up.

Lovely photo Andy! Have a great Christmas!

A couple of ducks carefully positioned and it will look "quacking"!

Nice work and very realistic.

Hi Andy,

It was great to meet you finally on Saturday and finally see the fantastic St Ruth in the flesh.

Best regards,

Jeremy

Hi Pete,

Nice to see this one again. I'll pop up to Burgess Hill next year and see you. Last time I was there I was having a go at operating paddock Wood!

Best regards,

Jeremy

Very impressive, your attention to detail is superb. Looking forward to seeing it all painted up.

Super stuff Dave! I always enjoy your updates.

4am is harsh mate! Nice to see some more progress though, you have quite a collection of rolling stock.

I'll be coming up to Warley so I'll drop by and say "hi" if that's ok. Will be nice to see St Ruth in the flesh.

Very nice Andy and worth all the effort. Congratulations! What will be your next model?!?

Tom,

Your trackwork,ballasting, and painting is most certainly amongst some of the best I have ever seen. I genuinely thought that that last photo was one you took of the prototype!
Truly superb and inspirational modelling!

Best regards,

Jeremy

Sounds like the perfect holiday! Enjoy!

Hi Chris, somehow I missed this one. Nice to see your 118 started, I need to make a start on mine sometime. I'd be interested to see your 3D printed roof and headcode box.

It will be a great shame Julia, I've been enjoying reading your posts here. Just checked out your blog and will be checking in regularly.

Best regards,

Jeremy

The breakfast was good, very good and it kept the Domestic Overlord quiet, well for a short spell at any rate

You can't beat a good brunch accompanied by a pint!

Happy Birthday Paul. That breakfast does look good!

That all looks really neat Tom. Very nice!

Nice work Paul. Great to see it all set up.

Sounds interesting. Are you going for 2mm FS, Finetrax or just good old N gauge?

Let those elephants loose with the pot of super glue and it could have been a disaster!

Nice work as usual Paul. Its really coming together nicely now.

Looks great Paul. Any chance of a photo of all 3 boards together?

I normally just sneak off to the modelling room and just pretend I can't hear anything going on outside the room! Ha ha!!

Nice work Paul, where will you be exhibiting the layout?
