  1. Wow! Loads of goodies there Ade. Phil
  2. If not a Roundy,then maybe an "L" or a "U".If you used the diagonal you could get 10.8ft.Do what I did,draw out your desired boards on the floor,then put your track out on them,see how it goes.I used chalk on the patio............ Phil
  3. Apologies for multiplicity of images,why this has happened,I know not. Phil
  4. For those who may be interested(and the last bit of info I have) I present "The Netherseal Colliery Branch,in all it's glory" Phil
  5. Netherseal Colliery - closed 1947.Acces line used for wagon storage until mid 60's.Was home to "Trojan",now at Didcot.Site is now completely cleared,nothing left except the brick built reservoir(for fire fighting?),and parts of the trackbed.
  6. Would it be,because it is a Road Van,and carries frieght as well? Phil
  7. Love the texture of the rust. Phil
  8. B for me,looks a little more balanced. Phil
  9. That's a Proper Job,that is. Phil
  10. Perhaps you could add a couple of crowbars and a jackor two to the mix?That's what we take out when we do some PW work at Chasewater. Phil
  11. Don't worry about it,Sir Douglas,it all sort of follows on,and is keeping me interested,I'm sure others here will agree. Phil
  12. I used to go to gravel pits as part of my job as a hiab driver,and some of those rotating screens used to run on tyres,and those never seemed to wear out.In fact,I suspect that they used to deteriorate ,the sidewalls used to crack due to uv light,faster than they wore out.The tread would still be perfect. Phil
  13. Likewise.Sold,with a load of other 4mm stuff(including a lot of Palitoy locos that had little or no running),to fund a Winson 5"1400........... Still sitting under the kitchen table,80% finished - but oh,the problems.... Phil
  14. Well,Snap!from earlier in the year! Phil (haven't got a clue why there are 2 images)
  15. An interesting read - thanks for the info. Phil
  16. Fair enough.I suppose the ventilator on the roof should have given it away.However as a postscript,I did deliver drainage there a couple of times during the building of the car park and station. Phil
  17. I rather thought that large building was a cold store,similar to the one at Kennington,which was shunted daily(not Sat or Sun) by the train that went from Moreton Yard(Didcot) to Hinksey Yard (Oxford) via Abingdon(MG cars and Morells (or Morlands - it was a looong time ago!)Brewery) Phil
  18. " 'Twas a dark and stormy day............." Phil
  19. Wish my shed was this tidy.................. Phil
  20. Always time for a chat,Ade.You know that.Besides,Malmsbury was probably a quiet station anyway...... atb Phil
  21. mpd? Motive Power Depot. Loco shed or just shed to others. Phil
