    Thanks for that! Jay

    Brilliant - thanks all round on this one John. Once I’ve found someone who’s up for printing this I’ll be ordering transfers. cheers Jay

    Seems like IronMink has created the files for a Gannet hopper. Any interested in printing some of these? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6114058

    Thanks chaps. I’m just about past the hangover. @Tortuga yes thanks for the heads up on those. Really good to deal with and the 3d print is decent. Jay

    No progress this week due to me turning 50 and milking the birthday celebrations for all they’re worth! I treated myself to these 3D printed hoppers:

    The chain fencing in an L shape around the end of the basin. If you’re really wanting it maybe just have it across the end and not the bit alongside if that makes sense. That’s removing part of the basin that can be used - what would you do that? Jay

    I would advise keeping your projects in one thread if you can, from my own experience. It’s really easy for a secondary thread to slide away mate. Excited to see what you’re going to do next! Jay

    The ultimate IMHO is beans under a slice, egg under a slice, with a sausage dam between the two. Brunel himself would approve. Jay

    Absolutely cannot beat fried bread!

    Dammit! More fun to be had there then. Thanks @Middlepeak! Jay

    Your memsahib has been trained well. Correct structural engineering is absolutely essential. Jay

    Essential use of sausages as a bean dam. That looks bangin mate. Jay

    I’ve been working on a few bits of detailing for the layout while watching some Glastonbury highlights in the back ground. Started painting the signal arm. A means to get over the wall by the crossing. Weathered Oxford Models tractor. Gradient sign for the top of the incline. Jay

    Has the marketing gone wrong though? In the last 12 months Hornby have had their own TV series plus there’s been some hefty celebrity public endorsements of the hobby. My own opinion (I admit I don’t have evidence for this) is they’ve priced people out. Entry hobbyists are not going to pay £200+ per loco and the more seasoned are going to look to kits or the small manufacturers who are bringing out great products for a lower RRP Jay

    Saw this and thought of you. Zoe on the Cromford & High Peak Facebook page occasionally takes OS maps and gives them this treatment:

    100% on the timing of SK leaving!!! Jay

    The short version being they invested too heavily in stock based on sales projections, then they didn’t meet the sales targets. People are spending less. I’ve seen this with my own business across the last 18 months. Jay

    The downturn in sales won’t be limited to Hornby given the current economic climate and I expect to see a lot more of the larger businesses announcing share drops. The question is can they pass through the storm…and it’s going to be some time till we see some recovery! The short term effect maybe less new models while they shift current stock which is locking away cash flow. Jay

    Not the best photo - it seems it’s quite tricky taking a shot of a 4mm scale signal! The home signal at the top of the incline had a 3’ corrugated LNWR arm, no spectacle plates and looked like other parts had been removed. I suspect it was static and haven’t seen any photos of it in the down position so I’ve modelled this accordingly. It’s a Ratio post with some bits removed, a cut down Ratio base then MSE parts for the arm, lamp and ladder. Jay

    Thanks for the info - much appreciated Jay

    Do you have a link for this please? Reckon I’d be up for some Gannets also! Thanks in advance. Jay

    Bit of fencing wrangling up ‘Top today. need more adjustment I reckon. Jay

    A selection of hoppers on the Middleton Top - Parsley Hay section:

    Thanks for taking the time to clear that up John - much appreciated! I’ll be heading your way for some new transfers in that case. Jay

    How considerate of her. Does the track side sign about 3 inches in front of her paws still exist? Jay
