Oh dear.... it appears he has succumbed to the demon drink since he was entertained at the BURPS.... I hope one of his future visits will include a re-hab session so he can continue with his work.
Perhaps a new successor could be trained during his absence?

Great news Jim, perhaps that means I will see you more frequently as a visitor to BURPS?

Nice style home with a lovely porch to sit out in fine weather. The best way to remove dodgy building materials is to take the lot away and start again, good luck with the build and show us progress as you go..... the railway will have to wait!

Pictures taken in the raw.....

Well, that was more information than I think we needed.

I'm saving those for another competition, so be careful what you choose!

Thank you all, much appreciated.
Pictures taken in the raw..... no enhancements necessary.

Excellent video, I do love your individual take on semi-scale model making.... very refreshing!

With the weather being so wet all day there was nothing I could do on the railway, however, whilst looking out of my Engine Shed window, I could see the effect the rain was having on the general appearance of the line.... no rail traffic in sight (very narrow gauge!), cattle waiting patiently for tr...

Wonderful report Egor, I see Mr. Spector has found faults with your line, I hope you don't take his criticism too badly, he is just doing his job!

Fascinating report Dave, it sounds as though you have enjoyed every minute of the build and can now share the pleasures of operating with others. I have no personal ambition to run such a line but can appreciate the effort which you have put into your railway. It is just a big toy and you are taking...

Well done Rod, that has certainly cured the problem but it is much too fast as you said. A speed controller (I.P Engineering do one) would do the job without altering the batteries.

Just bootifull!

Good to hear from you Jim, that looks wonderful, but I imagine it was a difficult thing to work out how the bits went together in the correct order.
I can't believe your daughter is two already, time certainly flies!

Well done Rod, you have done a great job, especially as as first attempt. I like the way you have thought out the build process too, cut out and score all sides before assembly, paint the inaccessible parts first and fit all detail last of all. The handrails look particularly good and the accessorie...

Sometimes varnish seems to separate, similar to a can of paint left standing for a long time.... a skin forms leaving only the thinners/solvent which will not set without the pigment.
Perhaps another coat (of fresh varnish) over the existing one will encase the tacky surface?

Of all the beautiful birds, butterflies, rabbits and foxes etc. which I know we have in our garden, I either don't see them at all or haven't got a suitable camera with me at the time. So.... some of the things I can photograph are attached.... Firstly, something not quite so beautiful, but nonethel...
