Rob I can't thank you enough mate, I will mark out the floor tomorrow with a thick marker pen and I can build the baseboards to suit the plans.

Hi Steve,

Good to see the plan coming together so to speak. I have almost completed the the timbering one more turnout to do. I will finish it when I get back from a short holiday.

Regards

Rob

A fathers Day gift from my daughters, slightly premature as the heljan warship won't be out until next year!! But I needed a 2 for the Hymek after loosing one whilst removing the masking tape. So I only thought it appropriate to order a set of plates at the same time.
The warship collection from Severn mill has been updated now to include all members of the class.

OOA is getting a slight revamp, I'm not happy with the slaters wall The joints are too visible and the brick courses don't line up, so Pete who is designing the buildings for Ranelagh is doing me a new laser cut wall with the correct slope, I've passed all the relevant details on to Jon to aid him whilst constructing the signal.
It's only a diorama but as soon as you take a picture the unsightly joint lines spoil it.
So watch this space.

You'll definitely have to get that wall leaning back now....

The bracket signal was started, un-started, snipped and re-started.
More soon hopefully

The wall has been drawn up and I'm expecting a PDF any time now.
Looking good though Jon Many thanks

Floor going down today and TV wall mounted, I've only laid the floor up to the base board level, underneath will have built in book cases the fridge & dehumidifier etc.

Glad to see that Fred is still gainfully employed - and doing his usual fantastic job on the weathering

cheers

I'm confused Compton, are you building a layout or a bar in the garden? hehe

Cheers

Both, Rail & Ale there's no better marriage.
You can sit on a bar stool whilst watching the locos chuff about
First bit of railwayana bolted on and I've another cast iron sign ready for painting.
I think I might change the name from Taffy Shack to something else
Maybe the railwaymans or the king and castle

Hello Steve,

looking good, just got a packet from Slater's.

How about these?

County of Ranelagh, a nice straight plate,

Stephen's Castle, done to look like 5005s plates,

Stephen's Court,

I hope that your getting my drift.

OzzyO.
