RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted August 8, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2017 Is your middle name Maurice perchance ? B.I. Cycleclips I saw some Maurice Dancers gathering for a display in Newton Abbot the other day, but one of them was called Horatio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted August 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 8, 2017 I have noted that so far there has been a distinct lack of sausages in this thread and to resolve this issue, I think that there should be a sausage factory or at least a sausage warehouse.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 4, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2017 Here's a quick update on 'Bethesda Sidings'. The large item of work on the house is now complete, and the way is clearing for me to move my train room to a slightly larger room, which will give me enough space to have 'Bethesda Sidings' put up to be worked on. First, though, I need to build the baseboard. Having considered various options, I am probably going to go for a DIY job, and get our local timber merchant to cut some pieces of birch ply to the precise sizes, including the proscenium arch. But before I do that, I will finish work on the light railway J72 (the final part of that will generate another blog post), and complete work on the last remaining set of points. Once all that's done, I'll probably get distracted and may look at building another loco for the layout before I do the baseboards. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 11, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2017 That's some far-out syncopation received in the realm of cute little industrial locomotives, but I'm in a bit of a quandary as to whether 'Bethesda Sidings' will need one.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted October 2, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2017 A bit more progress this afternoon, as I have now cleaned up the remaining solder from the rather old copper clad point that John F (Re6/6) gave me a few months ago, prior to adding cosmetic chairs. The point was built by John some time in the 1970s, I believe, and needed a bit of restoration work, which included new switch blades, new tie bar and some replacement sleepers. Having cleaned the sleepers up after using the solder braid and then having gapped the sleepers, it was time to test some stock over it. Here is the almost complete 'Jennifer' testing the point: And then it was the turn of the recently completed 'Planet' diesel: Both locomotives will form part of the core fleet of the Vale of Radnor Light Railway, that has running powers into the yard. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted December 31, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2017 If I was one for New Year's resolutions, which I'm not, by the way (too Ill-disciplined), I'd have 'adding something meaningful to this thread' as one of them. Nothing so ambitious as finishing the layout, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 31, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2018 Nov, Dec and January - any actual progress? Ah, Gordon, my friend, there you have managed to hit a nail on it's head. No progress, unfortunately. Nothing at all. The reason for this, however, is due to illness and also the fact that my wife broke her hand early on in November, so I suddenly became very busy with all the household chores and looking after her. Now that her hand is beginning to improve again, I have resumed work on moving my railway room to another part of the house and any serious work on the layout is going to have to wait until I have moved upstairs, because up there I will actually have (just) enough room to put a small layout up and leave it up to be worked on. Currently varnishing some pine shelves and getting ready to put them up, prior to moving stuff upstairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 31, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2018 Oh and I would add that I've done a lot of thinking about building the layout! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
