Three for the price of onè, that will save building two more...need to solder up some brass corners to go over the joints and we're virtually there although need to weather those diagonals.

Hi Tom I recall Brian Dominic using something from Brandbright on his Flagg Florspar layout. Don't know if they still do it. I think 4D models do some but the show as ridge sizes not scales.

That does look good, I really must start something here. Like my railway you have spots that go to nowhere, where does this go in your minds eye? My "big house" and tradesmen entrances are all off scene but I know where they are. To me it goes to a highly hedged country lane that leads to ...

Judging by Gloucestershire roads you need to lay them first and then dig up again for utilities so never say never on lighting....

They look good and better value than my lgb versions

We are having an unusually dry summer although school holidays are approaching fast so we will probably revert to rain

Wow! That's what you call progress That looks lovely, the Cain Howley buildings are nice.

That is a tidy build, I like the lining is hand applied or tape?

Llanfair is sounding like a family outing so perhaps I will make a bigger effort this year but something usually gets In the way. Being semi retired with two grandsons doesn't help especially when you see them more than your working wife....sore point I know I have logs waiting for me at playgroup s...

Looking good Rod, like the fairy gardens. I'm under pressure to build something at the local playgroup where I'm Head of Finance and handyman!

Tidy work Peter, you must be losing weight in this heat!

Gap is meant to be there as the wagons were designed to have lift out panels. Still need to add the handrails I also have some brass channel to make strips to lock the panels together.
It can serve as a sided wagon, a bulkhead or a flattie.....when I finish it!

Got to compliment the bride, always a crowd pleaser

If you're a second class best man tell them they're getting a second class speech

Three lions on my shirt
Two wagons on my shelf, and
A copy of Lincolnshire potato railways on its way...the summer of dreams

Cock ups a plenty today. I managed to cut my side panel support posts too short and also the end pieces are too short.

The end pieces will get recycled onto a skip bulkhead but generally feeling cross with myself. There is just enough wood to cut new ends so here's to Monday.

Welcome to the forum. Fair play to Tracey that is a very interesting design, looks fun to operate. Another railway to watch develop

Welcome to the forum Aaron. Some nicely laid track there, especially if it can tame Mamods. This dry weather doesn't lend itself to planting. Nice to hear you have plans it's lovely to see someone's railway develop, keep posting the pictures.
Tell dad his wagons are nice looking builds.

If we had a like button.......

I think Mrs B has been proved correct. Who says I have no sense of houmous?

That is looking good and apart from the battery drills it looks a very peaceful spot to live.
