looks mighty fine to me Jon. Interesting to see what the triang BV turns out like.

Proper Realistic that Alex excellent modelling of the highest order.

Way back I built the tunnel that runs out behind the quay. Had no tracksettas then and played it by judging set track curves laid on top the flexi track poor I know but been doing that for a while. Anyway running the West Country through the tunnel once in every 5 times it would derail the front bogie. Applying the set tracker there was an obvious flaw. Nothing for it in pure Tony Wrights guidance get the track running perfectly before scenery. Even read a reference to that today on a thread somewhere! Doing it in stages first bit to tunnel mouth glued 50/50 water Pva.

Looked fab as ever thanks for all the pics for those of us who missed out this year. I was inspired last year this year looks just as amazing. Hope to be there in 24. Cheers All

Set 159 looks superb top drawer that Tony.

You seen Boomer on YT Rob? eg https://youtu.be/at-cbTI8OLU top bloke great Canadian modelling.

You and me both! Wiring is a nightmare!

Lovely flowing trackwork, looks pretty damn good. Great modelling that.

They look the business Giles. Good luck getting them in.

Coming on a treat Alex,a lovely scene you are creating. Most realistic. On the water on the rocks look, Simon over at Heaton Lodge Junction used thin cheap super glue to good effect, I copied & even used for oil presence on axle boxes it works very well.

Amazing modelling Tim or should I say miniature engineering!

Nice bit o stock Mike, all looking rather good. Yes warmer weather and lighter evenings would be rather nice! cheers Ade

Good to see you’re still alive and well Jeff! And on here with the rabble if all be it briefly. Spring is just around the corner let’s hope. Looking forward to longer days. Cheers Ade

Same here in Safari and chrome defo got theme on Premium. The bar at the bottom of threads is now on the right.

Late to the thread! But kinda caught up now! Smashing model making go on here. Looks like it’s going to be rather nice. Not that it isn’t already! Cheers Ade

Was hoping to be there Rob with Dad (90)! But still struggling to get back to normal after Covid! Glad to hear bar a few hiccups it’s going well. Thanks for the photos x2 Chris. From the photos I see Calum is there with his micro Fry’s Somerdale. So no doubt a video to look forward to. Enjoy the tea and cake see you at the next one.

More done track got to the other side and copper clad done that side on the join. forgot to add droppers on the 1st bit of rail on the new side of the viaduct and the track was superglued down only a few sleepers after the copper clad so managed with the help of the helping hands tool to lift and sort it. The feed for the viaduct was a puzzle I had ideas of magnets and copper clad with brass bearer passing power then it came to me just sneak a pair of wires of the side into a connection block and disguise the block under something removable. Soldering ain’t pretty but with the new station it’s so much easier! I realise how bad the old Amazon cheapie was now! Cheers for looking in. More soon.

Put plenty of time in but not a lot to show! Getting viaduct sturdy enough and lined up. Copper clad soldered on Lellizzick end. Layers of foam board on and track trimmed to suit a baulk timbering look. But trying not to get bogged down on the detail and get trains running! Foam board needs relaying on the left of the viaduct in the second photo. Using carpet spray adhesive it sometimes reacts to plastics, the sliver of some I used there to aid the transition in levels has, should of tested it. I use it for speed! More soon.

Looking excellent Giles. My head can’t quite work it out! I’ll have to go back to see the track plan! Keep up the good work.

Happy New Year Rob and your Sheep Chronicles flock! Looking forward to much inspiration in 2023.

As a backbench follower of your excellent thread a belated Merry Christmas! Perhaps I should say a Happy and more healthy New Year. Looking forward to the update and the missing loco list! Cheers Ade

A medal no! It’s a pleasure to read Tim, you’re an absolute master at this model engineering. Pure smoke and mirrors as far as I’m concerned! Thanks for sharing. Ade

Hi folks put this aside for close on a year. Now mislaid the instructions! Not tried Osborn models who sell it yet. But anyone have a copy by any chance? Cheers in advance. Ade

Can’t wait to see it and what your going to do with it once Santa has been. Oooh I forgot your in the inside so to speak! Never think of Lord & Butler perhaps I should. Yes you wouldn’t be the first that has blown all their wages on pretty things they work alongside even at a staff discount! Mainline Hunslet there’s a web search I need to do! Cheers.

Oh dear! Had an email drop this morning. my wallet is fearing the worst! Is yours wending it’s way to South Wales yet Rob?
