You know about "Sampford Courtenay"

Sampford Peverell

Correct spelling Rob and it's closer to GWR stations too, Tivvy and Culmstock.

Reminds me of somewhere:

Blimey that is rather spooky, I hadn't realised the bridge into Venice was similar. 

Maybe I'd seen it in the past without realising.

Very Venetian looking Grahame! Lovely!

Thank you John very much appreciated, dare I say I made it blindly  ( See what I did there ?  ). 

Perhaps one day it could see a Swiss loco running across it......nudge... nudge....wink....wink !!!

There will be an announcement on here tomorrow but at the moment I can't decide whether to post at 6.00, 7.00 or 10.00 am.

 

Could you make it 11.00am please Rob, I'm probably gonna have a lay-in !

Hopefully it will go ahead safely Clive.

One small matter though.........will you be wearing a kilt ? Humph !

Very stylish, those embellishments make a big difference.

Thank you Mikkel, I pondered over this for some time and felt they would 'elevate' its looks slightly.

My original thoughts of a smaller bridge didn't sit well in my eyes hence this being made and hopefully will fit in with my overall vision.

there wasn't very much at Great Rollright

and that siding it seems.

From what little information I have it was used for quite a few goods dispatches and arrivals from/to the rural community.

The next Goods Advice slip I have found in my collection is also for Gt. Rollright. From the building company's point it was used for dropping off building materials used during local contracts.

This one is dated 1909.

Slightly off topic John,

Whilst searching for other stuff this afternoon I came across some of my 'railway ephemera' and found several interesting labels etc of which this was one....

OK it's NOT Stoke Courtney but made me think of your thread.

It is one of many which I saved from the furnace at an old Victorian building contractors founded in 1840 which I ran back in the '80s.

I asked if the owner of the Co. if he minded me having them so lots of labels and other interesting railway related items were saved by me both for posterity and railway interest.

Here's one on my favourites...

Oooops! "my bad" as the new wave talk goes ! 

Zummerzet should provide you with a renewed start George I am so pleased you've got somewhere now.

G

he new spot is Minehead. 60+ years in the big smoke is enough for this man.

I wish you well when you move George, I trust you will settle to a new life here in Devon.

Didn't know Dapol were doing a 45xx in 0 gauge.  Will look forward to seeing that - could be very tempting!

Yes, and also tested in a paddling pool...

I must apologise on behalf of my friend John, he knows not what he is doing, one day all railway layouts will be GWR based 

Just now, 2ManySpams said:

 

Yes, in 7mm to use as a door stop.

Very expensive but GOOD taste mon brave ! 

Will it be running across the carpet as well ?

I do believe even our mutual good friend @2ManySpams and he of Southern persuasion has one on order for Pencarrow. 

That'll learn 'im !

Hey you G man!

 

Welcome aboard! Excellent work on the boat. Do tell more about it. 

 

 

Ey Up George,

You don't want my stuff clogging up your thread mate, suffice to say it has been shown elsewhere on previous occasions. However, the inspiration came after a trip to  Cotehele House where I saw the book ( which it's resting on ) with a history and also a plan insert......so off I went !

It is made from 1mm ply cut / steamed and bent to fit the frames, which were also made on a jig much the same as you're doing.

She is still at that stage as I never finished her due to moving house....one day maybe ?

G

YEY ! 

And he's off again, brilliant George and very much liking the boat build.

I condone the use of Alf Hattick glue it really does give a strong bond once cured.

I used it on this shell whilst building / planking and gives a really tight seal too.

You have another subscriber.

All the best mate.

Well, I didn’t give it 24 hours, more like 20, and a quick trim round the inside of the clerestory, and…

 

 

quite pleased with that

 

 

Nicely saved Simon and looking the part again.

looking at the clothes iron

What's a clothes iron ? 

Lovely as ever John, a 45xx always looks good.

 (FWIW today I learnt that the Dapol O Gauge version is now in production so fingers crossed it may reach our shores by Easter this year !?! )

Either way, talking it up has got to be better than talking it down.

Lovely photograph Ade, however, if you keep going back I think your good lady may have to change her name from Lez to Fez ! 

HNY to you all.
