Morning all.
I have finally re-established a degree of order to The Room of Doom which had taken on something of a post-apocalyptic appearance following the run up to the SWAG show at the end of last month.
Ewe has now been incorporated, joining Bleat Wharf and Sheep Dip and now occupys a lofty position above the Desk of Doing.
As a consequence, I'll need to improve the lighting above the desk but that's not an issue.
The Stick of Upholding is a bit of added 'insurance' to avoid a 'major incident'................
I can now resume with a bit of modelling.

What supports the Stick of Upholding or otherwise holds it in place?

Morning Tim,
There are a couple of L brackets screwed to table and legs. They are sufficiently rigid to retain contact with the bottom if the base board. If I clout either of them with sufficient force to cause them to move, we have a disaster of biblical proportions on our hooves.....

Whilst sorting out a pile of books to be disposed of, I found the Gazette that contained this article. It is the August 2019 edition, Volume 20 No 12. If anyone wants a scan of the article, just drop me a note.

Even all,
A revision has been made to the Room of Doom with Ewe reverting to its pre-SWAG location.
This has restored the light to the Desk of Doing which was a tad gloomy with Ewe sat above it. Not so now.
I can also now access Ewe's fiddle yard whereas above the Desk of Doing it was pretty much impossible.

Hi Jordan,
I did try kadees on the latest chapter but decided that it was too hit and miss ahead of an exhibition. I'm sort of at the stage where I want to try something else, other than T/Ls but for now it's a little down the list.
Kadees still appeal but I need a better success rate than my first dabble with them. When they worked, they were fine. I'm pretty certain the fault rests with me rather than the kit, hence why I probably will revisit them. In other words, I need to install them properly.....

I have them on Trewithen, and used them on many Layouts, BUT, BUT, BUT, I have one Magnet that has been 100% first time, every time, and its a Blood* grate block made for O Gauge, but works a treat.

Thanks Andy.
That would involve major excavation work on Ewe, not something I would want to do given it's current scenic state.
But, in future, that's worth knowing.
However, I'm thinking of seeing if I can retro fit smaller neowhatnot magnets which would hopefully require less tunnelling but as I say it's kind of far down the list.
