      Sorry, not biting today. Just cut out a sector plate which has filled my heart and soul with a sense of inner calm.

    Strontian Quarries come to mind for a vertical format As does a cliff railway, a mine in section, a spiral in T gauge :)

    So we can't do this?

    So it must fit into a cuboid of 20" by 11" by 11" ? With the proviso that one of the directions of measure is up?

    Has built the basis of the first baseboard today.Now for the surface and see if the plan will work.

    However lightly constructed 6ft x 4ft is one helluva lump to move around without damage to the room, the layout and especially yourself.

    Evening task was to do some tiling in the kitchen - now I can really say I've had a night on the tiles.

    We have a kitchen back and working. The age of miracles is not dead. Neither is the age of "Where the hell does this IKEA bit go?"

      Ikea bits go wherever you want them to, providing you edit them with a saw as needed !

      I have a box where the extra bits go. One day there'll be enough for a chair :-)

      Oops - had to read cooked twice as I misread it as cock*d the first time.

      Either will do - both are appropriate.

    Definition of sawdust - wood in kit form. However too much sawdust at the moment - not enough wood in finished state.

    Is getting mega brownie points for sacrificing layout framing for kitchen mods.

      Your kitchen needs moderating?

      Does that mean that you've finally cleared the dining table of 'stuff'?

    If you read Leslie Thomas, "the Magic Army" you'll get a flavour of what it could have been like.

    kitchen rebuild come to a halt when new (deeper) sink needs to have water flowing uphill to get to waste pipe - so have to remove dishwasher + cooker + cupboard to reroute. All because water won't flow uphill.

      The pointy bit is to tell you when you've picked it up at the wrong end

    Mr Nevard knows how to get attention with his latest blog post title

    Just had a look at the Tucker book. Salient points which you may like to note for sizing purposes: Quote "running round a 12 coach train" From a photo - at least 30 4 wheel vans in the platform road. From a quick approximate measurment of the plan, 3/4mile from the junction to Ferry's corner then half a mile to the end of the line. It's bigger than you think! Surprised me.
