As I'm not from where you are did you need a permit to do the works or are garden sheds exempt? Here in oz they make us get a permit for just about everything. A mate of mine used to do Prince Philip's hair. One time driving in to Windsor Castle, the guard asked him if he has a permit. My mate replied "no, he just wants a trim off sides and back."

Unfortunately work will get in the way of much further progress this week and any spare time will need to be spent ensuring my Antipodean visitor on Friday has something to see on Bath.

RMweb Gold Popular Post queensquare Posted June 11, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2022 Thursday saw the first visitor to the new shed, and probably the furthest travelled when Kevin Knight from Oz called in for the day. He brought with him some of his very nice builds including a selection of PO wagons, a rake of LNWR wagons and a converted Jinty. He also had his John Greenwood built Coal tank which has now completed its first circumnavigation of the globe. After a bite to eat and several hours playing trains and putting the world to rights we headed over to JBSs in Frome to pick up Ashburton ready for this weekends Mendip show in Shepton Mallet. Kevin seems to be enjoying himself with a spot of test running - we even had time to stop off and take a quick look at the S&Ds Charlton Road viaduct on the way home before more food and wine - a splendid day!

Looking forward to seeing those at Laurie's on Thursday, during Kevin's 'World Tour'. Glad to also see that the layout hasn't suffered with your recent upgrades Jerry!

RMweb Gold Popular Post queensquare Posted June 15, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 The doors have now been moved forward and the new bench under the window is taking shape. The corn is going well and the the glow from the evening light on the bench (more recycled units and worktops) is very pleasing and one of the main drivers for building the small extension. The small roof still has its temporary tarp covering but the most exciting development for me is the long planned modification to the trainset. Two of the inevitable compromises when modelling a prototype had always niggled me - both down to the fact that Bath was hard up against the wall of the shed. The first was that there was a wooden screen on the only viewing side of the trainshed which would have meant the interior was almost impossible to see. The second was that I only had room for two of the four roads of the S&D shed. The former I intended to get around with a small camera, the latter by telling myself that as the S&D shed was at the back and at a lower level it wouldn’t notice - neither particularly convincing! Eventually it dawned on me that if I swung the Bath side of layout out into the room by a couple of degrees , not only would I make room for the S&D shed (and the boat road and a much better representation of Stotherts as a backdrop into the bargain) but I could get round the back of the main station/train shed area with ease. This evening I made a new set of supports and put the main boards back up and it all works a treat. I need to make a small extension to the Bath Junction board but that’s about it - who knew six inches could make such a difference! There won’t be much more done for some months as I have all sorts of other chores to complete around the estate but I’m all fired up to really push on with the layout come the winter.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted June 29, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2022 Well guess whose been to the charity shop - for Emperor and Country! With the doors moved forward I’m left with a large, door shaped opening between the new and old bits so went on the hunt for some heavy curtains. I’m not sure I’d want them in the house but I think these red and gold beauties, which cost me a grand total of £4, will be perfect for a 1920s Midland terminus!

A brass and Nickell silver roof would be fun - would be like one of those great Zsarist palaces! Jerry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
