Slight overkill ................ ................... for OO Gauge, maybe .... ?

Aaahh you have been ........ Sorry, but your dog's are not allowed, when you come to stay, when we go to the Folkestone MRC. Exhibition, next weekend. The "Sick Note", you submitted to the Missus , worked then. Still at the ballast, on dry runs', some of the darker,'tween the sleepers section's, I reused,from last time. Mixing in brickdust.

GEDC0068.JPG P1210693(1).JPG GEDC0069.JPG .......................... reading my Doctor's notes again ...... ... ........................ You will be safe from the dog too ..... he doesn't like model trains ,,,,, ...................... they make him burp for hours after having one and the Con Rods get stuck in his teeth .....

CONGRATULATIONS

The little piles od Ballast by the chutes are a magic touch - your mojo may well have returned .....

Nice [in the original sense of the word] piece of work there dt. It looks very like the DP pictures. Not easy around a 4 way set of points. J

Congratulations and best wishes for the future. Have a great Wedding Day. Julian PS. Like the Rugby idea to ensure the future B-in-Law arrive for the celebrations.

Happy Birthday ........ and good luck.

Not just a Pension [long since "coughed-up" for] ..... Free rides on buses ... Cheaper theme park tickets ... ​ Free colour movies of foregone trains ... B/W movies of long lost stations ... 8) Amazing the benefits that come with being an old f**t Pensioner ... ... J

Aah, at last ..... .............................. The Mystery of the Blue Black Train ..... ............................. The Voice in the Dark ..... The B&W does the film justice, very nice too. Julian

What DO you mean ......... ................................................ ............................................ ..................................... won?? ... You just paid more than anyone else was prepared to ... ................ ....... don't forget the pictuuuuuurrrrresss when it arrives. ...

Those Gully slopes should be finished as soon as you can ... no really ... top priority ...... ................................ before Network Rail realise they have more to do to keep up ... Like the Sleeper Cars ... very nice indeed. Julian

Perhaps they were so engrossed in Adrian Christie's new book ........ Given no passengers emerged ................ ....................... how about ............................................... Then There Were None. ..... ............................................................................................ Murder on the Lines ........ Ooo .. Ooo ...................................................................... Destination Unknown ... .......................................... ......................... 4.50 from Westerham .......... ............................................................................................ The Veiled Lady and the Mystery of the Brasted Chest ..... Regards J I bet they can't resist the bait ....

Delightful video Adrian, thank you for the time and effort to make it. J

Might it not be easier to ... file down the coupling a little? I like the items on and around the tracks. It gives the layout a very realistic look indeed. Are the 3D Point Motor people able to make the Point Motors with a descent space under them, for a small Bell Crank perhaps? All the best for the Op. J

Good to see you have scrambled out of the hospital dt, a very welcome return to the pages here. J PS. I hope the Dover cliffs are no less stable for the removal of the huge amount of rock, now residing on your layout ......

Where is the "Oops!" Icon when you want one?

Ooo! ... Ooo! ... Ooo! ...... ... I vote for that too .....

I guess finding Insurance for the Compressor should be easy ...... ..... just ask a passing Meercat ..... [blimey, that's even worse than most previous comments!]

Those modern colonial schools do nothing for our youth .................... ........................................ I hesitate to say for fear of the red face which may ensue ............... Eerr, 4mm? ..... PS - apologies with no offence intended - I just couldn't resist the line Julian

It rather reminds me of a class of 15/6 year old kids I took for a walk through some countryside, to get some inspiration for Computer work ......... .......... as we crossed a railway line by a country pedestrian way, one of them stood up on a rail and asked ...... "Is this for electric trains?" ....... Upon being asked if he was still here, I was able to confirm to the young chap that it wasn't an electric line ....... I am not really sure he got the logic but the others would be sure to explain it to him later ...... ............................................................................................................................. possibly! .................. Inspiration for the lesson was a bit thin on the ground too .........

Clearly Network Rail have yet to read anything about erosion of de-foliated land, or see News reports of the same, Documentaries of the same, or even misguided politicians who quote truth in error! [Good grief - did I suggest that might even be a possibility!?] Aah well, nothing new there then ........................... apart from dt having to wait 1/2 a decade to see what he can imagine will manage to develop from those denuded slopes ...... Edit my rubbish language skills .........

Would any current date pictures be of any assistance? All 3 are virtually doorstep and plenty of excuses to visit any.

For the record ....... Mrs R, has travelled quite widely, for one so young ................. and cannot understand why ................... the USA claims to be the coffee drinking country of the WORLD! .................... yet she has yet to taste a cup of American made coffee which is anything other than totally disgusting ....... ............ having travelled to the States far fewer times than her, I have yet to be able to disagree ........................ Which would be quite a coup if it were possible to achieve .......

That is a very nice surprise. Sorry for not being able to post more frequently on your progress, but I am limited to an iPhone with contact through the phone link. I agree with RasR about the growth on the cut back banking, it will happen quite quickly anyway and will look so much better for the covering.

t Just standard USA .............. Cup.......
