Andrew P

Been in the POD today.😃 👍

Very sad loss to his family and his modelling friends. he was always happy to chat, even if under pressure at shows. A giant loss to the hobby. RIP GW.

Totally off Topic, but my parents had their Honeymoon in Jamaica Inn, in April 1945, as Dads uncle was the Landlord. Sorry Andy Y, for the interruption to normal service.

Great new Video Ian, and I really must play catch up, and do some more. Love your new scenic work mate. Stunning.

Maybe another NEW permanent rule to liven up the end of the season. 😃

And I'll have a Fender or Guitar shirt or top on and big grin. 👍

Yes Paul, I will probably do the Lifting Flap and other end board first, but I do have a load of Colour Lights ready to go in. BTW, Fareham = Sat AM. I will aim to get there for opening time, so where do you want to meet, i.e a Layout / Trader / Entrance? I will look in again before the weekend.

SPOT ON, I could not think of his name. Cheers. 👍

Cheers Scott, That word FLOCKAGE was first used by another person of this Parish who's name I'm ashamed to say I can't remember.

Glad to see he is still gainfully employed mate, looking good.

Yippie if Fish and Chip FRIDAY, Oh and a Video as well.

Great, I'll see if I can do the same. We must message to arrange to meet up. 👍

WATCH OUT,, WATCH OUT, On Friday, there may be a Video about. 😋

Hi Colin, My last visit to this project was Aug 2022, so back on page 1, and I must say, it is looking good, I skipped a few pages to get here, but loving the Buildings and Track plan. All the best, Andy.

Hi Paul, I'm not sure at the moment, I have a Gig in Gosport on the Sat night so a rest on the Sat afternoon and then not home till gone midnight, so if I do it may be on the Sat morning just for an hour or so. I'll let you know if I do as I guess your going, so it would be good to meet up. Best thing is let me know your plans and I will try to fit with them. Cheers, Andy.

Hi Guys, Cheers, Appreciate all the above Guys. I have been so busy with the Band of late, playing 2 sometimes 3 nights a week but I am happy to report that the interest is still here, it is more of a time factor at the moment. 3 weeks ago I took a trip up to see Ian / @Temeraire and had a lovely day playing trains, putting the world to rights and getting enthused. Previously a few visits to Kevin / @Hampshire Hog and the same up there, along with him visiting my POD. I'm glad to say each visit resulted in a little enthusiasm to do a bit. It has been mainly adding fencing and foliage, but its a start, so, here are a few pics to show the current state of play even though no Trains have run for a while. I hope you all like the pics, and I will be back again very soon, maybe even with a Video up date.

Cheers, Sorry for the late reply, there was Seven Mills Sidings, Bench Road, Bala Town, Trebudoc, and a couple of others as well. Glad you liked them.

And one has to ask the question = Why now, after so many years? And after saying so many times that he has no hard feelings about the outcome on the day.

Get thee behind me and remove that temptation, (bloody gorgeous BTW). 😃 👍

YES,,,,,,YES,,,,,YES, 😃 There is 🙄 = Its still here. 😁. Not worked on it for a bit, but my mate Kevin came down two weeks ago, and we had a really good all day running session, (after a really good Weatherspoon's breakfast), and not one Train did a full circuit continuously. It was works as intended, = Fiddle Yard "A" to Yard avoiding loop, and back to second F/Y "B". 2nd F/Y "B" to lower Yard, dethatch Loco and shunt stock into sidings or other Roads to make up New Trains. NSE 117 was run between services only on the upper Station section, and either through or back. Each of the above Freight moves were done with Trains running in opposite directions. and it took about 5 hours to do all we had to do, and still didn't move everything. It has potential, but still busy with the Bands and playing 2 or 3 nights a week sometimes. I WILL BE BACK. 🤪 👍

And the Videos on pay per view. 🤣

Well that was a long time ago. A friend of mine still has it, and has done some amazing work on it I believe. He live in Derbyshire, si I've not seen it for nearly 5 years.
