Good use of a difficult area.... perhaps a small extension forming an office/stores under the roof canopy making an 'L' shaped structure?

Sorry - a bit off topic - Peter that looks like one of your indoors layouts - anymore pics you could share - perhaps on your own line's post so I don't get into trouble with Tom for misdirecting activity on here - I love the pic and the way the main line weaves its way up the hill with sidings creeping off each side

[bazzer42]

I'll second that, the sort of layout we would all love to see fully in a separate thread. Beautiful!

With regards PayPal I shall wait for the transaction to clear on the statement to see if any detail. The second hand Konrad went for 30 quid more than mine so still feeling smug.

I have strode the planet for 59 years today and thought I would probably get away with spreading some more diluted sheep poo. I have added a sprinkling of sharp sand and some more moss from the shady pavement around the corner. It may not be Garside but starting to look a bit...something !

I've made muffins for tea but washed my hands first

Derek, hope you have a brilliant day.

[bazzer42]

Off to see the grandson in a moment so a good day indeed although I think the dogs are smelling slightly sheepy....

[Peter Butler]

A very happy Birthday from me too.... it's good to see youngsters on the Forum.
I should add that the line looks so much better with moss, let's hope it gets established there and spreads to other areas.

[tom_tom_go]

All my moss has come from pavements, works well.

The new toy arrived yesterday and got her first steaming this afternoon. Visit the in-laws yesterday and found the pavement opposite covered in moss....it had to be done ..

Does anybody know how I post the video to watch in forum. It is only 15 seconds sorry but nice steam plumes

[Peter Butler]

That has to be recorded as a win-win weekend. Loco looks good travelling at a nice steady speed with lots of steam in the cool air.

Must admit I can sympathise with you on this as have no idea either. We must be content to know that we can do things which others can't do.... each to his own.
p.s. .... what's a firestick?

[IrishPeter]

Sounds like something you rub up and down on a boy scout when you forget your lighter.

I'll get me coat...

I thought you just banged two of them together?



Nice pics and videos there Derek, I do like the smooth way that the Regner locos run. Time to think about finding one for myself.

I sympathise with you regarding operation of the telebox. I don't bother with it much and my wife was most amused to find me watching the news on the little preview screen on the listings page as I had failed to work out how to actually select the channel. Give me a Jag V12 engine anyday, I know what to do with them.

[markoteal]

Yes - plumes are in now the winter is here - I had the Millie running at the weekend and she attracted attention from 2 gardens away! Someone thought I had the barbie going

This is how Tom explained how to post videos to me.

To post it from Youtube the way Tom explained it to me was,

1. Click the share button,

2. Right click the highlighted blue box and click “Copy”

3. On the Forum message box, click “video”

4. It will appear like this,then in-between the two video boxes, right click and you should get a box where you will find a “paste” option.

5. Click this and it should place your video there.



I have just put this video on to show you how to do it...please ignore watching if you like..

Hope this helps guys. :thumb right:

Believing that thrift is a virtue I have been coming up with some dirt cheap fencing. Our hardwood patio chairs are slowly breaking and I wondered whether I could use the seat and back slats as fence posts. I have cut 45° tops to them and then cut them to a scale 4 foot tall. They have been drilled 3.5mm to take 3.2mm welding rods. I'm hoping to get some copper plated mild steel ones tomorrow that may eventually rust. The plan is to drill the base of the posts to take more rod that can then be pushed into the ground. Marauding Westies mean that anything more secure will incur broken posts and bent wire, I know because......

PS the unequal spacing is temporary!

PPS just realised Hamish's handiwork is visible in the background.

[philipy]

I like them! Very nice.

I've been thinking about fence posts myself and now you've given me an idea. I'm sure I've got a length of maple flooring acquired when I worked in a flour mill many years ago, lurking somewhere.....

[LNR]

Every time I see that nissen hut I wish I was modelling a later period. Nothing round it, abandoned as I've seen so many, debris piled up against it. It really looks the part.

PS sorry back on topic, fences.
