Do you have a site / gallery / thread that you put all your railway photos on that we can look at. 

Jeff's index is great but you must have many more that we haven't seen 

Let us know where they are, spread the word 

perhaps the police car is there because someone grassed

Oh dear 

Nick

Great looking rake (21 I think) of wagons on videos, it certainly looks like all that hard work pays off in the end 

Peter

A great idea, I would certainly be happy to contribute and also likely to be educated sometime in the future from the survey.

Although you may have to think of some way of indexing them for future use as the library grows

There speaks a man who has obviously used the Index on a number of occasions.

I certainly do use the index an awful lot & I use this specific thread as my first port of call when I need info 

The index is a great addition, I find it easier to use than the overall search facility on rmweb 

............and if you can't find the answer, ask the question as recently with Kadee couplers, not much info originally but question asked, answers given & now in index 

A great source of information, thank you Jeff & fellow Lunesters 

I think we have the start of Wiki Lunester    

Would someone please remind me how to access the index please?

 

I would imagine humour is on posts #1 - #5651

Index is on page 1

Bottom left chevrons at page numbering 

Rather than the Baron, Jeff might be interested for KL

Artificial turf would be no good for Jeff, just wouldn't be authentic S&C

l was wondering, who called the police to Baron Bodgit's  ?  is there something we should know ?

 

Nowall..

I think there guarding the grass to stop Jeff from nabbing it all 

I think you've put around 500 posts into KL, Andy. The humour index would probably include over 450 of yours. Too big - YES!!

 

 

 

 

I think the person who compiled the list would go insane! I'm mad enough without doing that! Maybe Andy should be given the task!!

 

And btw - no pics from Glenfinnick yet - but I think he's been grassing...

 

Talking of which - I need to start stocking up with my standard Earth mix and Green mix bags of Woodland Scenics...

Jeff

Their is already a world shortage of timber & plaster now your going to cause a problem with the very ground we walk on 

Soon there will be nothing left for us, just Luneside Fell for us to look at in amazement & awe 

Andy

My first visit to Glenfinick and very impressed with your super fast progress 

Will be returning to check progress 

Great idea indexing Rob's photos, they are always nice to look at and any aid to finding them must be useful 

Completely off-thread, but Jeff, you're from Darlington, are you not?  Look the other way and experience the pleasures of the seaside!

 

Middlesborough, scenic Thornaby, Redcar, Whitby West Cliff, Fyling Hall, Scarborough...  all courtesy Hornby. I don't think those Thompson 'Washing Machines' ever made it to Blea Moor but they had to work around the Coast alright!  Nicer with an NER A8 really.

 

Autumnal weather here in NZ.

A great looking scene, I can smell the sea air, & I think Whitby Abbey is just coming into view

Well you all seem to have got your heads together & come up with a great scenario. 

Everyone can now sit back a watch Lord Lunester at work 

Jason

I am certain it will be the sheet option but I will look at the various options, I don't think I will be ready for them for another two months yet anyway 

Thanks for that update Jason, I will visit Howard's Scenic's over the weekend with a view to ordering some gear, you should be on commission with all your suppliers, I was ordering from Parkside yesterday following one of your posts. 

Jeff

Sounds like you've got the towering rock-face situation under control and I hope to see some photos soon with it a bit lower so that you can fit some sky in 

I did think Jason, Mike & Andy had a point but I couldn't bring myself to criticizing being a mere surf lunester 

Jason

I very much like the idea of the setts, something I must seriously look at, will keep an eye on your progress to see how its done. 

Great work there 

Once I have some Kadee's arrive along with some rolling stock to build I will experiment with the  Kadee uncouplers along with a number of neodymium magnets that I have down at Sheddington & report back 

Jeff

Great to see so much info about Kadee's / couplers it all adds to this great learning resource you have created. This thread is now my first port of call when I am looking for info, just great with the index & so much quicker than going through the forum search facility. 

Sounds like some kind of funeral directors.... anyone remember Bootsie and Snudge from the 1960s?

 

Just re-stocked with another 15kg of plaster powder. Time to go and do some botching of plywood in the bunker.

 

It'll be interesting to see what you've been discussing when I next look on here!

 

Jeff

I certainly do remember Bootsie & Snudge, I think it was a follow up to The Army Game with Alfie Bass & Bill Fraser.

They don't make them like that any more 

Although I think we need to wait & see how a full series of Botchit & Bodget    

WATCHIT BOTCHIT YOU WILL TAKE OVER FROM BODGIT

I am looking forward to some cooperation from the two of you and maybe a co-production of videos by Botchit & Bodget 

Hi all

I have just ordered a number of mineral wagons from Parkside Dundas (Jason's recommendation) I intend to fit them out with Kadee's to give them a try.

I currently have no rolling stock whatsoever, so I have a blank canvas, if successful it will be Kadee all the way 

Polly / Mike

I have called in a few times throughout the day & not much doing, Jeff is obviously hard at it down the bunker

Maybe we need to ask a question or two

Jeff

What are you thinking about using for couplers on the layout, sticking with the RTR or swapping them to Kadee maybe or something else

Hi Jeff, you should collect £1 a go at guessing you BIG SECRET THAT WILL CHANGE KL FOREVER, hahhahhehehehehahhahahahh

 

You would have enough for another Brit or Clan, hhhaaaa

 

Bodgit

I hope this BIG SECRET doesn't involve dressing up in strange clothing & dancing around (what have you started Andy in lounge thread)

Yes, Jeff's a Morris Dancer 

What a load of bells 

The Parkside hoppers are lovely to make Billy; they take a bit of time to ensure there is minimal flash, to line everything up and add the handrails but as long as you are patient and follow the instructions, they aren't difficult at all.J

Jason

Just been on the http://www.parksidedundas.co.uk/index.html website my first visit some great looking gear I will put an order together over the next couple of days. I have no rolling stock whatsoever so will order a number of different items to take a look at & try out

I need a lot of mineral wagons so seems a good place to start, prices are pretty good too, which is a good thing as I need a lot of practice on weathering techniques.
