Re: Vale of Fairway
Great pictures and videos
Re: Vale of Fairway
I love the shed scene - a lovely building and very characterful fleet of locos...
Cheers,
Andrew

Re: Vale of Fairway
Thanks Rod. Celebrated in style - Sally did works payroll and I wrapped six bridges and a box for Preston! (On its way at last) Managed this far on a back wall complete with a peephole carved by apprentice Ken so he can keep a crafty eye out whilst having an unofficial fag break
Happy weekend modelling folks, I've got a long weekend with the in laws - tom_tom_go

Re: Vale of Fairway
Quiet day avoiding summer traffic. Finished the lean to shelter, not without some mild cursing after a seat too high incident. I also managed to finish my first brake tipper wagon started last Christmas. So far back I can't remember what number it should be.....that will teach me.....possibly
Re: Vale of Fairway
Great little shelter that Derek, won’t be long before the spiders webs are in there, just like they do for real….
To hot for me too for track laying…now it’s throwing it down and we have the grandsons this weekend too.. Still we may be able to take them out somewhere dry…

Re: Vale of Fairway
Lovely bit of modelling. Leaves on the line seem to be a bit of a problem though.

Spiders I can live with but leaves The wysteria has 3 seasons and four this weather...shed blossom, shed shells of blossom and shed leaves and shed leaves in hot weather.
Hoovered last Sunday but high winds forecast no point at the moment.

Re: Vale of Fairway
Spiders and other insects are fine. When we bought our house there were several cherry blossom trees nearby. At times the garden looked like it was covered with pink snow! Strangely most of them have gone so we don't see it as often.

Re: Vale of Fairway
Looking great Derek, I love your take on 7/8ths - it really works in your garden setting.
Don't feel bad about taking ages to finish projects, I have wagon kits from years ago that are still unfinished for one reason or another!

Really like the colour of the corrugated roof.

Re: Vale of Fairway
I know what you mean Derek, we have a Weeping Willow and unfortunately we can’t get around it’s flipping leaves dropping every day, but hopefully they won’t give us too much trouble….especially if the landlord will let us cut most of the branches off…..

Nothing a willow likes than a heavy pruning.....this had all its 8 to 10 inch thick branches cut off 4 years ago....careful where you put your off cuts as they will shoot as well!

Re: Vale of Fairway
By HECK Derek, didn’t know they are that flipping bad. May have to see the Landlord about getting rid of it altogether…..This is the one in our garden……..
