Thanks Jeff / Don, your figures will do for me

Jeff I spent some time last night & will continue later going through your Cobalt pages along with control a great help thanks. I have query though about track (because I couldn't find it in the wonderful index) distance between track in maintenance / shunting yards, would you generally have a greater distance in these areas (in the real world) for safety, say 10 ft throughout rather than six foot. Your comments & of course fellow Lunester comments would be gratefully received.

Are we going to have to get the violins out for you two

John Well, things seem to be moving on since I last called to see Lincoln Central, You mentioned a few posts ago that you had problems with some Cobalts, what was the problem with them.

Nick I haven't been here for a long time but your great work continues, spent the last hour catching up on your thread here, a real pleasure, thanks.

Polly First of all a bit late but seasons greetings. 20 pages moving towards 500 replies because its fascinating stuff, onwards to a 1000 replies then

Jeff I had noticed that there didn't seem to be much modeling going on regarding KL, I just put it down to the Christmas / New Year break but given your post above I thought I better delve back a bit further, I now see the issue, moving house is always stressful but will be added to with all the work you have done over the past 18 month or so. It looks like you have plenty of advice being given to you from all the right people. I am also sure you will plan things down to the nth degree with military precision. So I am sure your phoenix will rise again in a few months.

I go away for 6 months and what happens, another 1000 or so posts to catch up on, great progress here. Note to self "must get back more often"

John I have just had to take stock of where my plan was going, for a first attempt I was trying to do to much, my quarry as had to go but may be able to keep a loading area. I shall be calling by regularly to see how things are going and hopefully pick up a few tips. I don't know where I would be without all the Lunesters on here.

Its good to see that you have kept up the high standards in my absence

Another one to follow, looks very interesting, are you going to include the quarry you mention

Great detail there Jeff, the amount of time, thought & effort you put into this project is just....... amazing

Well, I spend a few days away from here & it happens again page upon page of........ well, pages to read ..........but what a great read and good progress

Like others are saying, great progress Scott Your project suddenly seems to have really taken off

The hills look great on the photos above But it seems a bit strange that you have all that snow in the foreground and non on the hills its usually the other way around

I though I had seen something like it somewhere on the telly or similar Its those two old codgers of Trebudoc

That last photo sets a very nice scene, although as you say maybe a little to green

Wonderful bodging there Have you ever thought about doing a video of the back-scenes I'm sure we would like to see how its done

Polly I am sure all Lunesters are awaiting anxiously to see the photos of your mock up Its been a long time coming and we would like to see some action In other words we cant wait to see what your going to be doing

Well all I can say is ramble on Jeff, That's why we visit, to find out what you and our fellow ramblers think. It is very quite, I have a few other things to do today away from Sheddington I am still managing to visit our fellow Lunester sites every now & again but I am filling in with a review or two its that quiet

So how the back-scene coming along then

The plastering seems to be coming along ok It certainly already gives some depth to the project

I am fairly certain there's nothing like that in the Thames Valley Maybe you could build them something like it for them, you could cover London with it

More great videos there Nick, I always enjoy looking in on you here

I think I will have to try the celotex its available at our local Wickes for £5-59 for the 50mm x 1200mm x 450mm It may well work for my quarry area
