    That's rather nice,  Chris. 

     

    How did I miss that...nice use of the Hornby Weighbridge by the way. One of their better efforts.

    Looks even better now its fixed down and bedded in! I agree btw but it needs careful handling....

    I have not really posted much on Lockdown Fen ......I must get round to it...quite a bit of weathering required....

    Morning all. 

     

    We have quite a bit of sheep inspired items around Chateau Sheep.........including three layouts...

     

    I haven't, as of yet, settled back into winter modelling mode. That may well change as of next weekend when the clocks change..We shall no doubt see. On a positive, here is a test photo taken on a new box brownie ( which I'm attempting to get used to ).

    I use an empty syrup tin with a replaceable lid which I take to the recycling siteperiodically and put it in the metal skip. I tend to mention  it to the staff on site but they are not bothered as I assume  once its in the skip it does not get handled by real people again?

    ive been vainly holding onto the hope i can fit the entire layout on one board but that doesnt seem likely :(
    alas that will cost more in wood for the fiddle stick, i guess the extra space is incredibly liberating as i can fit more operational interest in.

    Thanks

    Joe

    Joe - the stick can be very basic - just wide enough for a switching lead. This is my Dock Street layout with my small off-scene track at left.

    Don't tell me they lost ~15,000 orders because they have an old version of excel?! :wink_mini:

    I suspect even Peco are more up-to-date than that....

     What? Another one! :o Wow - you're keeping busy mate....
    Where are you getting all this time for modelling? Don't tell me - It'll only make me jealous! lol :) 

    Somehow, I found time to build 4 layouts, and start a fifth - all within a two year period... somehow ha ha 
    Alas, that was some years back now - perhaps I felt younger then?  ;)  

     

    Looking forward to seeing this one progress too @Gilbert Although it'll probably be finished by the time I've typed this reply :) :) :) 

    Marc- sadly all I've done is paint a (plain) backscene and start a bit of wiring...the plan is to assemble as many bits as possible before the big push rather than do little jobs along the way..

    I have however been experimenting with card for structures though...a trial build of some downloaded Scalescenes retaining wall..
