RMweb Gold Popular Post Adrian Stevenson Posted July 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2021 Another 11 trees have been added to the embankment tonight. That makes 31 in place now. Also had a delivery of some more fencing. Just awaiting a last delivery for this week of a set of 3D printed steps, scales, wheelbarrows, etc to add to the coal yard.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2021 Thanks Andy Put in a run of fence posts and moved the two trees over to the outside of this fence line. There will be the road then cutting across the corner of the baseboard. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Major Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Ade, Your trees are developing a lovely country station feel. I fear though the picture of the small prairie will need moving up the wall a bit before it disappears into the vegetation. Ian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Adrian Stevenson Posted July 16, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 Thanks Ian. The pictures will need moving. Been measuring up regarding a back scene and one about 15 inch high looks to be a happy medium regarding height versus accessibility. The coal yard set has arrived.

Barnaby Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi Ade, those 7mm coal yard details are looking very good. Who is it who is making them, I've not searched thinking it was simpler just to ask, please. I have most of them in metal form but they look nice and crisp.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 17, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 Hi Mark, I bought these from John Chivers via EBay. Usual disclaimer applies. Cheers, Ade. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 17, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 Out in the van only 5 miles from home staying at a really nice farm. Got a whole field to ourselves. We arrived last night and unpacked the bikes ready for our first proper ride out today to the Battlefield Line. I will do a thread in the preservation forum later. 11 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 17, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 Thanks David. It is a hot one today. Just arrived at Shackerstone after a five mile ride. Most impressed with the bike. The railway is excellent. Sitting in our compartment in the good old BR MkI awaiting departure on the 12.30. 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 17, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 Back now at the van. The bikes made the 10 mile round trip easy. The station gift shop stocked O Gauge which seems to be rare for most preserved railways, so as I like to support the lines I visit by making some kind of purchase, it was rude not to buy a wagon.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 17, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 Thanks Andy. I was out on business yesterday up at Retford and managed to call in at The Goods Yard model railway shop. Would you believe it, the owner grew up in Swadlincote and some of his family lived in my street, talk about small world. Picked up a couple more Silver Birch trees for the layout and got a small discount for coming from Swad. Cheers, Ade. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 19, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2021 Added two more trees and a whole bag of light green clump foliage along the embankment. The road is now in place too. Cheers, Ade. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 19, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2021 The new wagon is crying out to be weathered, you need sunglasses on to look it it at the moment! But too hot to be spraying tonight. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
