Hi Spams A second try at this later than expected post. Grass eitherside of the track bed Ready to harvest wheat? and a grassy cutting I hope these piccy's may help in the completion of this marvelous trainset. Cheers SS

Hi Spams In our club we cut the carpet felt up into about 3 inch squares and give it a good swim in bleach for between 24 and 48 hours and then fish it out and give it a good rinse before dunking it in a bucket of khaki green dye and then fishing it out at intervals so that the range of green various. It's then allowed to dry before pulling it out in to a bag, thus when used it has variations as per the prototype. If used in it's bleached state it looks like a wheat field ready for harvesting. If I get chance this afternoon I will take some pic;s and post them later. Cheers SS

I await the full resumption of the bridge building extravaganza. Cheers SS

The size of the beams will depend on the length of the span and the weight to be applied, both static and dynamic. No doubt there are a few engineers on here that could work it if the info is provided. Have the formula in my old apprentice notes but where the hell it is I don't know. Failing grey cells. SS

Doesn't hail from Yorkshire does it.

Surely it's time to donate the 250+ year old Hoss to the Natural History Museum in Kensington as a live exhibit. It must be the first 'oss that old not to have been turned into pet food and therefore graced our park at some point. SS

No Sat Nav then!!

You could possibly use a trestle wagon to deliver steel plate & sheet for fabricators. Having just googled it there are still a large number of these in the area, although these days it is probaby all delivered by road. SS

HMS Thunderer AKA Crownhill Comprehensive, the school for engineering officers was knocked down in the late nineties, early naughties and turned into a housing estate. Manadon college was the last place I had any dealings with a marine water tube boiler ( Y20). Also the scene of an inmate nearly getting his MG blown up as he'd left his briefcase on the roof of it in the early ninteies, caused a major security alert including armed police, bomb disposal and two fire engines, still I got some overtime out of it as I couldn't get out to return to the yard. Cheers SS

Not Easter already is it? Cheers SS

But I am involved in homebrew and the odd floater Beer Or Winge? I use to do a wicked line in beer,.
