  1. Thinks he needs a PA.....

  2. As the water level drops we drag net the length of the lake; though to be honest the heron are picking the final few off before we get to a final drag.
  3. And down come the trees! I've been playing with a chipper that can demolish an 8 inch diameter bough in seconds; it's called a Predator and it's made by a company called Jensen. I think they missed a trick there!
  4. Pumping out! Discharging our planning conditions (as well as water) now underway...
  5. I think I'm now, literally speaking, the owner of a train; just need a loco....

      He would have been first man in orbit if it wasn't for intervention by the Americans. He's up there now.

      Bang the clenches back in and get another week out - not worth new in this weather.

      There is some advantage to a barefoot horse, but it depends on the horse!

  9. I hope to have this done within two years with the carpark and landscaping done this season. If anybody is coming to Pickering to see Flying Scotsman next month (don't worry she'll be here) I'll be parking the cars!
  10. Here are the plans and elevations of the new building, hope you like!
  11. Would love to plan a hangover but is too shattered

      I find drinking heavily the night before usually helps...

  12. Full planning permission granted by Ryedale District Council this evening. 18 months and an awful lot of money to get to this point. And I'm absolutely exhausted. Finding solace and karma in the building of a new layout with a little help from some chums
  13. Is casting finials and beating white metal

  14. Well just won a tenner on correctly guessing the ethnicity of the publicly auditioned Top Gear presenter. In fact the whole line up is so ethnically diverse it's Auntie gone mad!

      Couldn't they have got that vaguely attractive woman from channel5 who does cars with the slightly dirty laugh ?

  15. Surely if these wang out the door at a great rate of knots at the advertised price 'someone' should be falling over themselves to commission these themselves from scratch, the tooling cost not being so much a concern?
  16. Isn't sure which was more disturbing; Michael Portillo in green jacket zip lining or Michael Portillo in overalls

  21. Planning committee entourage arriving next Tuesday. Planning decision Tuesday 16th Feb. Fingers crossed!
  22. has just ordered 40ft of baseboard construction!

      plus fiddleyard!!!

  23. Just a quick update for those who are curious: the planning decision has been deferred until middle of February pending a site visit by the planning committee in a couple of weeks time. All the statutory consultees are happy and have withdrawn their objections I am therefore hopeful of a planning officer's recommendation for approval. The retail area will be 1250 square feet and include modelling benches, spray booth, soldering stations, decent AV and instructional area as well as modelling ephemera, railwayana, railway art and models and books. Also cafe with view on to the NYMR running lines. Oh and of course overnight accommodation in sympathetically converted rolling stock.
