Limpley Stoker

No wonder the sheepdog looks embarrassed .

Nice straight tie bars!  

Hornby’s delicate lining at its best - and the shade of green is so much better!

Excellent work ! You have just become de fence secretary for RMweb on the strength of your tensioning posts!

I have suffered from a torn knee ligament for two years - GP fobbed me off with a telephone appointment with a physio  who in my opinion misdiagnosed it (I’m a retired medic) -just sent me at link to exercise videos on you tube.That was pandemic medicine for you.

After some research on Google Scholar I have tried using a near- infra -red light torch - about £40 on Amazon - which reduced the fluid in the joints and the pain.to tolerable levels. I’ll DM youink if you are interested. We have e got to get you modelling again!!!

Lovely though your Grange is I’m  really looking to seeing your new Manor before and after it gets the @toboldlygo treatment. - won’t be long now !!

And casting care to the wind I set up the tripod on the main line and got this picture.

Mind you the Station Master was shouting at me a bit though.

 

Focus well stacked* - excellent pic
 

*I think we’ve covered that !

No Whistles in the 50s and 60s? Really?  Maybe you only spotted out in the wilds?

P

I think you’re right - I wasn’t a spotter but watched passing trains on rural lines.

Hmm , so complicated!   I think I will stick to DC,  I thought I might be tempted to upgrade to DCC if I bought the sound fitted Manor.
My Anthony Manor is entertaining enough on DC ,  all I’m missing are the whistles but then I don’t recall any steam engine whistling in the 50s and 60s. Today is different in preservation - nothing moves without a whistle.

I knew a girl who was stacked. 

Dans la soutien gorge invisible.? 

Lovely !  That’s because panniers are so inoffensive.

I hope you meant wiener!

Would bananas fly in Little Muddle?

Nice to see the coaches posed without TL couplings. The tail light must be positioned there to get wires in for the lighting function.

Thank you, I will pin that up too!  Your timber weathering is legendary !
I don’t remember seeing the mail sacks on the Encombe platform before. I hope there is a goods lift  hidden under the bridge to get them up to street level!

What a splendid sequence of through coach shunting ! I wonder if the passengers of the through coach had to disembark during the manoeuvre - I suspect not, but I would have wanted to get out and watch leaving a mac on my seat.

Stand back.....

Wagons joining the main line.

 

 

I think I put an engine at the front but I think I can just see it????

A prize for the best tail lamps on the Toad, I think. Great picture .

I’m surprised the engine crew haven’t clambered down the embankment for a swig of cider with the farm hands. That signal will remain on for an extremely long time. Great pic which sums up Little Muddle!

Must do the wording on the viaduct…

 

One day…..

One day…

yes

One day

Those are the exact words you should put on the viaduct plaque - it sums up the frozen time - after so much has been created !  ‘Oneday viaduct’

Well I can see Mavis and can only assume Aunt Edna is under the rose arch.....I think I can see her folded arms!

 

 

What a lovely picture !  Edna is indeed under the rose arch, arms folded, harrumphing about the noise smoke and dust from the passing traction engine !

Good view of the wagon load of Jammy Dodgers ( lemon jam)  but please don’t leave us up here -  it’s scary!

I found myself looking for butterflies in that patch - it looks so natural !

Perhaps he’s hanging by his parachute. It’s going to be a very long time indeed until someone gets him down, but the photo was worth it !

My DCC sound fitted Anthony Manor crawls really slowly under DC  (Gaugemaster):  it sounds as if  the decoder is using  pulse waves. Acceleration is slow with impressive inertia and the sounds are well synchronised with the wheel revolutions.

To get the coupling to hang properly, the two links need to be at right angles to each other. I don't believe that this can be done with the Accurascale coupling.

Thanks, but looking at the samples on their website the Accurascale team had managed with the links in line so I assumed this would be easy. I don’t think anyone produces a scale properly articulated three link coupling…yet
