It was the panniers that did, saw them do it. They knocked the shed door off as well, saw one stood next to it...

I know you might not want to hear this, but will there be any D********* to do when you move in? Anyway, good luck with the move. -

After a few days not being able to do anything on the layout, I managed to have a couple of hours on it last night and have got the fences over the beck fitted. Posts and split rails all from long matches. The one beside the road is a little neater and stronger than the one between fields.- 225 replies

I've been working on some trees and have been experimenting making some coppiced hazel, short lengths of wire pushed into some foam, secured with super glue, painted a suitable colour and covered with woodland scenics foliage. Wire and foam. Pushed into the foam. Secured with super glue. Painted. Foliage. They'll need a bit of bedding in.- 225 replies

No hedge is fully sheep proof... There are dry stone walls in the area but only a short length along the road through the village. As you say, lots of factors in creating good or bad pasture, has it been mucked? Has it been limed? Is it well drained? Then there's just poor management. The lower field is a poor, wet example that will get some boggy bits and some reedy grasses down near the beck, the top field will hopefully get a few nettles, thistles and docks when I work out how to do them. And of course a few of the other... No. -

Starting to make sure the trains stay where they should be. The other side of the beck is now grassed.- 225 replies

The PVA dried nice and clear so it was given a coat of clear gloss varnish and that's dried nicely so last night I grassed the field between the beck and railway, its a rougher field than the one further up the hill so a different mix of fibres was used, more paler summer green than spring and some medium straw, I've given all the fibre mixes a name, this one is 'p!55 poor pasture'... I followed this in a few small patches with a very small amount of lush green, I think it's worked well.- 225 replies

The resin was nice and dry lateish last night so I gave it a stippled coat of neat PVA and that too is now almost dry, I'll leave this as long as possible then it might get a coat of gloss varnish to seal it.- 225 replies

Bit more progress tonight, down towards the beck. The bit behind the platform is well looked after, this isza mix of 2 parts short spring and 1 part short lush green. Well, you can't blame me, I did shut the gate...- 225 replies

Made a tentative start on a bit of grass over the weekend and it seems to have gone well, all Green-Scene fibres, I prefer these as the seem to be the only ones that are just single colours with no red and blue fibres mixed in. There's medium spring green, a little medium straw, a tiny bit of long straw and a touch of short lush green in the base, Layered on to that towards the hedge is a light sprinkling of 50/50 medium spring and long straw. Over this is a little bit of different green scatters. The hedge isn't fixed yet and may get adjusted a bit.- 225 replies

A bit more road surface done, around the station building and along to where a pair of gates lead on to the platform. I've added some stones to the bed of the beck, these are the larger bits of grit from the sharp sand. And a bit of a dam just above the ford.- 225 replies

Started on the road surface on board 1, even coat of fairly thick pva covered with chinchilla dust, when dry and swept off it should sand down to a nice fine texture. Also made a start on the bed of the beck, dried and sieved sharp sand, the smaller grade on to pva and the larger grit will be added later to represent the larger stones.- 225 replies

If you put a hill like that on a fictitious layout no one would believe you... And I'd certainly rather live at the bottom of the hill if I'd been in the three pubs.

First experiments with making hedges tonight, horse hair and a couple of different scatters, I think it's gone quite well, the sheet of hair is about an inch thick so a half inch-ish wide strip was cut off and this torn in half, it was a bit regular so I rolled it between my hands which opened it out a bit, I'd tried teasing it out but it easily became a bit too open. The piece was about 8 inch long and I stuck a skewer through one end so it could be sprayed with spray mount then the bulk of the green scatter sprinkled on, next a coat of matt varnish then a bit of lighter mixed scatter and another coat of varnish, they will need a bit more work and trimming and it should be OK.- 225 replies

It does look like it bobs in the video, not noticeable in real life, could be a slightly wonky wheel from re gauging, something I need to look at. Yes, there is a dodgy track alignment in the yard, also a couple of spots where the loco bounces through the turnouts, all to look into. The site I've chosen for the station is between the village and the beck, squeezed together a bit to fit them in, hopefully bits of the village will be visible behind the hedge. The goods yard has been arranged to be shunted by goods trains originating from Middlesbrough.
