Brilliant. Those pictures have made me want to eat my lunch early
Re: Welcome to the CHLR
Not sure how I missed this thread...
Awesome layout you've got going.
Instead of the open cars hauling the freshly grilled food maybe build some oven cars to keep things warm during transport.

Re: Welcome to the CHLR
You could use tea lights to keep the plates warm on a hot plate like they do in some restaurants...

I usually recommend plasticard for construction of rolling stock, but on this occasion I have my doubts.tom_tom_go wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2017 1:26 pm You could use tea lights to keep the plates warm on a hot plate like they do in some restaurants...
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: Welcome to the CHLR
Agree..... may need to start with a donor Hornby Tinplate wagon - with suitable insulation - also the height could be a challenge thinking how high a tea light flame reaches from the base of a candle - perhaps just need a mini tea light or some form of element - or perhaps we may have found a use for Mamod solid fuel!

Vendage season is nearly upon us
The grapes are colouring up nicely - the staff at CHLR ran a test run this weekend - where a bunch is taken from the vines to Junction where the man from the Winery comes and tests sugar levels.
The verdict? Wait a couple of weeks.
So the vendage is coming!

Re: Welcome to the CHLR
Sadly by the time the grapes sweeten enough, the mice and birds have usually got the majority - you never know though!

Re: Welcome to the CHLR
At least you get grapes! I've got a bumper crop this year, 3 whole 'bunches' with at least half a dozen 'grapes on each, and some have even grown as big as peas.

I have 4 fruit trees and for the past 3 years i have had nothing of all of them, they did flower so you would expect them to fruit, i do have some very small apples on a tree, but the other’s pear/cherry and plum nothing.

Re: Welcome to the CHLR
Absolutely brilliant! I love to see a railway that really does something - and such a worthwhile cause too.
I'm afraid if I were to try and keep up with the greedy ganets that feed in our garden (front and back) I'd need something akin to the six track railway that makes up the last 8 miles of the Midland route into London!
