I often take the back road, through Rowlands Castle and Funtington, if I feel like a relaxed drive.

What he doesn’t tell you is that if he gets stuck in a traffic jam there’s alway a modelling project to hand in the car …never misses a trick does our Andy

It would need Parental Guidance and NOOOOOOOO It won't be in the next Video, but there will be a surprise for Friday 29th.

Well it’s near Halloween so it might be scary …….I dread to thing what he has up his sleeve ……

I’ve recently been taking delivering Ferry Trailers into Immingham Riverside and am surprised as to how busy the place is and the extent of the rail network in the area. Will try and get some pictures next time up there

Does the flap still lift ?

Depends if the tide is in and how much cake Andy has consumed 

Drove pasted the Llangollen line a couple of times this week in the wagon doesn’t seemed to be much happening along the line anyone know the current  situation. Was wondering as to whether yesterdays vote In the Welsh Assembly regard Covid passports will have any impact on the forth coming Santa Specials etc

I can almost hear the SPLASH coming from here.

 

Might make a nice Cameo Scene.

You could have a 4x4 stranded in the water at high tide and a group of people debating as to what to do on the ramp  maybe a Jeremy Clarkson type 

Cracking stuff Andy as I said some pages back it’ll all be on the market by Easter next year 

Your energy puts many of us to shame 

Blimey George you must have the patience of a saint or just totally bonkers that turntable is looking excellent have you followed some plans or done a build / design 

The first picture could be a plant contractor making sure he has fuel for his work the second is just dangerous

BRUTES. You need loadsaBRUTES.

Agree with this comment the red star bay platforms at Chester General were cluttered with Brutes in fact I seem to remember hiding behind several when train spotting in the early seventies as the end of the parcels platform were out of bounds to spotters at that time 

Just now, Andrew P said:

Thanks Martin, no as it will have water either side like this.

 

Cool 

Nice bridge I don’t know what you intend for the embankment to the left but I would install two or three culverts within the embankment would make a nice scenic addition 

Really coming together now I like the new retaining wall excellent …

Here we go.

Could make a couple of removable cassettes for any short freight workings that you change as the moods take you Andy 

Have to say the back scene behind the estuary gives the scene some depth of field Andy excellent

Cheers Rich, that's really useful mate, much appreciated.

Oh no another freight train to take away any chance of any passenger trains……think the platforms are getting greener by the day …….extra flocking needed Andy  I can see those station buildings being boarded up by next week and not a bogcat in sight

Hello folks, 

 

Not much going on at the moment as I’ve been sorting things out in the house!

 

Did a bit more work on the new class 122 from Dapol. A really lovely model, to be used by the yard to ferry important Navy officials to and from the AD. (Bit of a stretch I know) 

 

D1052 is on the work bench at the mo having its dcc decoder fitted. It’s due to go off to be sound fitted at some point in the new year. 
 

37401 will hopefully go off in a couple of weeks for its sound fitting. 
 

I’ve added a bit more greenery and details which I’ll hope to take some more photos of tomorrow.

 

 

See you have a better class of driver than scruffy lot employed by the previous owner nicely turned out complete with a tie must have been the effect of moving Lazy Joe from the site.

Actually it was 6 weeks ago Jim, but I wouldn't worry to much if your memory is getting shortened mate.

 

Thanks anyway.

Blimey six weeks and your going to hit page 40 !!!!!!!!.

Hello Andy, enjoyed the last video 'BUT' a 150/156/158 wouldn't go a miss ???

 you know the answer George now the freight bug has totally taken over  I think Andy likes his passengers strapped to a pallet so it’s  ‘grass’ for the platforms

Jeff. 

 

that timber for your control panel. Its not left overs from this construction?  You weren't on this project  were you? 

 

At today’s timber prices I wonder what it would cost to build that ark today
