A great step by step tutorial Wurzul.

And a cab for the driver...

Seems to be an unfortunate black smudge in the middle of the backscene?

It's only 5 miles down the road from me and on my way to work. Despite this I hadn't heard of it until about 5 years ago when the site went from invitation only to publicly advertised events. Hard to miss the entrance now with a great lump of loco (Cadbury livery) sat on a plinth, plus all the lights and adverts. I have to say it's one of the best managed and maintained steam railways. Must have invested millions in building it up, and every time you go there's something new. Unlike a lot of railways, just about everything looks like it could be picked up an run - no long lines of stock rusting away and piles of junk everywhere. The mix of events run also does a lot to bring in 'normal' families too - saw lots of kids enjoying being able to ride in the open right next to the loco. Didn't see anyone that was bothered by the smoke and steam. The exhibition itself was in clean, well lit and well ventilated halls - no dirt or smoke. There was no rule that you had to ride on the trains and it was possible to avoid the steam trains at the event if you so wished. For me a big attraction to this event is the mix of model railways and live steam engines and the museums. Great stuff.

No, you had to go outside for the really objectionable filth... Loved it. £14 (advance ticket), free parking, model railway exhibition, beer, food, narrow gauge trains - what's not to love?

Indeed, part of one of the sheds seen below, very clean and tidy.

I assume Sheep Towers is using this sort of tech?: Or perhaps this?:

Best wishes from Spam Towers to CK

Filthy dirty locos...

I think Kadees would work nicely on the ferry van. Will bring some over...

Whilst I'm sure there would be many that would enjoy a weathering book by Sir Sheepalot, my reading of Rob's responses is that he has no interest in writing one. There is of course also the small matter of a publisher wanting to produce such a mighty tome. Probably best that we all just accept it's not going to happen and enjoy, and take notes from, the 'how to' posts on his threads.

No no no, that weathering is not right, see me afterwards...

Now look ewe, it's the light tan weathering powder then the dark rust...

Another vote for CZJ doing Darling Buds of Weathering

Yes, was about to say the exact same thing. Sheeps doing naughty stuff in every video...

Busy week last week so wasn't able to take advantage of my early morning modelling slots. I have however stolen a few hours this morning to progress the chimney stacks. Just another 10 to go....

Took the opportunity to survey the inside of this old GWR goods shed yesterday... On arrival they kindly gave me a ping pong bat, which was nice. Meanwhile I obviously carried on with the in-depth surveying work.

One of mine currently under construction in 7mm scale. There's a build thread here: And a 00 Prairie tank for scale:

Pannier tanks would surely fit the bill of being chew sized.

Well that was a bit of a comedy rabbit hole...

Furry cake? Somewhere to park naughty sheep?

Hopefully it's on a straight road, no bends...

How the mighty have fallen. I remember when it seemed every other car on the motorway seemed to be a Ford, and many of those were Mondeos.

Experimental and Sheep. Those words are often interchangeable and can be used together.

I'm glad someone knows what's going on. I may be asking questions later!
