no these are absolutely huge disply rockets, as in instructions say stand 25m back, so they will be launched off the field (there will then be a mad dash to see who can claim the rocket sticks first)
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

true. I was jus scared of falling over the wall or being so tired from working on the FR before that when i lit it i wouldn't be able to get back up!SillyBilly wrote:Aah possibly, but Paul you can vouch for me that it said 25m, and then when it went off it turned out that us running 10m was worthless apart from to not set the light off!
Thanks,

A year on, and finally the last track laying for this project is done. The incline is now actually conected to the rest of the ANLR!
2 "as new" mamod points were brought by dad, one replaced the old Hornby tinplate one which was rapidly rusting away. The other was joined to the lines off the incline, then the whole lot was connected up using scraps of peco track that dad scrounched off various Morecambe members
The upper loop one year on, notice the large amounts of crushed slate, and the area planted up. Now I just need to get in incline into working state again, as i'm afraid it hasn't seen use since January...
