Vale of Fairway
Re: Vale of Fairway
I've been away too long! Your railway's changed scale, and is looking absolutely fantastic. I need to read the thread more fully, but a quick skim's rewarded me with pictures of characterful buildings (I must have a go at some myself...), and some lovely rolling stock. I do find the bucolic world of 7/8ths very tempting...
Looking forward to seeing more,
Andrew.

Don’t see anything wrong with fence and gate Derek, think it’s a brilliant job…
Can I ask how do you cut baked bean or similar cans please, without cutting yourself to pieces…..

Have to say the only time I tried bean cans I ended up with a deep cut! They do look good though.
Thanks Andrew, not a patch on Windmill Hill I fell in love with 7/8th after Chris Bird posted some pictures of Rob Bennett's line. My track circuit is small and 45mm gauge so 16mm skips looked too broad gauge hence the switch. The fact you have to build almost everything is a bonus. I have mentally rewritten the lines history just need to get the words down.Andrew wrote: ↑Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:47 pm I've been away too long!

Played with the addictive nail gun today and cobbled a small coaling drop together, for nothing.

Nice Derek, don’t cut yourself with the nail gun…..

Re: Vale of Fairway
Thanks. One of my lineside 'industries' is soft fruit, so looking for a suitable source of wooden cases. Will investigate.

Re: Vale of Fairway
In between running a 16mm jumble sale I have had a play with an lgb feldbahn crane. Thought about car booting it but decided a repaint and a wooden deck might help it fit in on the estate.
Probably looks like no crane on earth but fits in ok...I think.

Description of a crane:
A machine used for moving heavy objects by suspending them from a projecting arm or beam.
Nailed it.

Re: Vale of Fairway
If it was a car boot sale near me I would grab it!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: Vale of Fairway
Sweet little MOW crane.
I had to Google "car boot sale".

Re: Vale of Fairway
Looks brilliant Derek, do you think we may have started a new push towards having a crane on our lines….

Re: Vale of Fairway
Don’t you have such things Dwayne. I have heard of “yard sale” but I don’t think they are the same.

Rik,
HGLW do crates, and will, I believe, personalise them. There is also Red Star SPC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RedStarSPC

Lovely crane!
A bit of chain and a hook and you are sorted

Trenarren also do them - can vouch for their suitcases and have a long term plan for some fruit workings on my line too!ge_rik wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 12:28 pmThanks PhilLonsdaler wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 9:21 am

Re: Vale of Fairway
Those Trenarren ones look good. Might have to investigate making my own though, as I'm going to need quite a few.

A touch of rust and a new chain and we're virtually there, progress being hampered by poor patient father in-law
