    I was wondering who'd be the first to notice. Nice looking spot. Adrian

    I think that is an interesting proposition. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/54.40084/-1.70802 (OK, not a parish, but a hall). Adrian

    I suspect that I'm not alone in hoping that someone has worked out that the track bed needs to be a bit higher than those earth works, otherwise it could make for some interesting travel. Adrian

    "Narrow" generally implies 7ft wide locks, which wasn't the case with the Thames & Severn Canal. No doubt some one thought it was a good idea at the time, but the Thames & Severn had locks 86ft x 12 ft 3, whereas the connecting Stroudwater Navigation were 72ft x 15 ft 6. Adrian

    Here at the Manor House, the evenings are already drawing out (a whole minute so far), but the mornings are still drawing in, and will continue to do so until the end of the month. Adrian

    Did anyone ever name a loco "SWMBO" ? Sounds a bit Welsh. Adrian

    Leap ? Sounds a bit energetic for LM. "Gently move forwards" perhaps. Adrian

    I wonder how many of those house owners have bothered to look up what their shiny new house was built over. A few years back, I was working with a lad who'd just bought his first house on the outskirts of Dudley (Wet Mudlands), and I suggested to him that he looked up what the site had been. A quick session on the NLS site produced a combination of surprise and horror. Even though he was a local lad, he'd no idea of the history of the area. Adrian

    The trick is not to tow from the bow. If you are towing from the bank (how doesn't what is doing the pulling), you tow from a mast which is stepped on the centre line 25-30% of the way down the hull. That way the point of effort isn't pulling the bow into the bank. Having a good length of line also helps. With horses, whilst they took the load at the collar, they had a set of traces running down each side of their bodies which meant that the line attached just behind them. Adrian

    Hi Martin, Thanks, that is a really helpful answer. Adrian

    Thanks. It wasn't so much the cost that I had in mind, it was more knowing how much filament/resin I would need if I were to print some or all of the track plan. Knowing that I can do it for "traditional" methods, it would be useful for forward planning. Adrian
