There's always a critic!
Great day for an operating session today - with an uninvited visitor.
I have two robins which share my garden - a smartly turned out one and this one - which I call 'Scruff'
I think he's a reincarnated train-spotter. He always seems to turn up when I ignore the rule book!

It's a combination of all sorts of material - coal dust, budgie grit, fish tank gravel, sand and soil - and then given a light wash of cement dye - see http://riksrailway.blogspot.co.uk/2015/ ... crete.html

Seconded, your web site, blog and posts here are an excellent resource, thank you for the generous work you put into them. I always pay attention when I see the word "Peckforton" as I know there will be some good content.mightymax:118110 wrote:brilliant thanks Rik .
