RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2014 We won't be quite as bad but we will have both the bedrooms furniture and the Lounge stuff all in the Lounge whilst we decorate the 2 Bedrooms and the hall plus hang 6 new doors and have the carpets laid in the bedrooms BEFORE we start moving the beds in there. We will be living / eating / Sleeping (or trying to) in the Lounge. The Kitchen will also be re furbished at the same time. Oh and did I mention the Garage Andy Andy, I do sympathise. When we had our extension built the whole of the downstairs became a no go area for a couple of months so we lived round a table in an upstairs bedroom. It soon pases though, although the costs do not seem to. Having said that I have heard nothing about new carpets in the last few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ah, I remember those days of moving from one room to another....just remind me not to move.... Don't mind making myself at home in the Lounge though - that we'll just have to live with - though it is felt, in some quarters, that I should be elsewhere modelling or laying t***k - as if.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've just returned from a visit to the building site. The new house is about 25 miles from where I currently live, in a much more rural setting. Very therapeutic driving up there, through all the gorgeous Durham scenery.... It's almost certainly a June completion now, but good to see more brickwork in place compared to ten days ago. I'll be back there at the end of next week so there'll be a pic or two then.

It soon pases though, although the costs do not seem to. Having said that I have heard nothing about new carpets in the last few weeks. It'll be a case of sleeping bags for 2-3 weeks while I get all the tiling, carpets, fireplace, orangery stuff sorted after legal completion. I expect I'll start work in "Bunker Mark II" at the start of September. Jeff 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well where did all that garbage come from? Oh yes, posts like this I guess And Well Andy, there are a few of us who have plenty to say on here. Normally it's backed up by lots of modelling, but these are abnormal times. And I know from spending time with you and Jason that the three of us could talk for England! And what's wrong with that? Anyway, long may it continue. Imagine a thread without any humour or where people were afraid to go off thread. For ME (and I know some people take a diametrically opposite view) that would be a nightmare. If we ever lose what's in here I'll ask Andy Y to lock the thread. Right, I'm off to study plans. Not of KL2. Not of KS station. Plans showing socket, telephone points, lamp positions etc for the new house. Oh joy! Jeff Jeff 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 No need to worry about plans for the station; I mapped it all out in 4mm (in Excel) and I have to admit that I have even done a dry run to check everything in mounting board, minor adjustments made to the Excel sheet along the way. I only marked on where the windows and doors need to go (e.g. lines drawn for the cutouts) but to all intents and purposes, I now have the components for the shell of Kirkby Stephen Station in 4mm...... You just know that I will finish it off at some point 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 O.K. Guys, I'm off to the Lounge to make an announcement. Not fit for KL ears so only go and look if you are either BRAVE or STUPID. aNdY, tH e BoDgIt rEtUrNs :scared: :scared: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

67A Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Jeff the LITTLE Layout won't be a Shed, just a yard / or something simple, just a couple of points and some nice scenics. WHAT DO I KEEP SAYING Just a couple of points simple nice scenics I'll be modeling a plain field next and saying its HS2, just not finished yet Hi Andy, Just a simple layout! That's what I said about Dent!!! I've never taken this long to build any layout so I know where your coming from. We'll get there good buddy 10-4. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Chip. I think the third photo is the lead up to Blea Moor North tunnel. I think the problem in recognition may be because the third picture is printed the wrong way round - it needs flipping left to right. Compare these two pics, the first is Dave's, the second is from Google... 3-10-2008_034p.jpg gallery_7011_1184_101490.jpg The wall arrangement close to the tunnel portal - which I modelled - looks the same, though the vegetation has grown on the moor in the intervening 40 years!

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Andy, Just a simple layout! That's what I said about Dent!!! I've never taken this long to build any layout so I know where your coming from. We'll get there good buddy 10-4. The funny thing is, Mike, that the building - and the anticipation of the next task - is often the fun bit. I don't want a layout to be finished - I want to be able to run trains through decent surroundings, but I still want to be able to add/change things. If KL2 takes 5 years I'll be very happy. Imagine the boredom (!!! !!!) of "just" sitting, playing trains. That would be AWFUL (tongue in cheek comment). Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Jeff. Me confused? no third picture to comment on? Hi Mike. It's the third photo from post # 11437 on page 458. I then took it and compared it to modern view looking over the viaduct. I'm sure Dave's original is Blea moor north, printed left to right.

I'm sure Dave's original is Blea moor north, printed left to right. Jeff Hi Jeff, Without doubt that is the Blea Moor north tunnelmouth view and the photo is flipped over. The difference in vegetation is remarkable, you could get a few nice 8"x8" cocktail stick from that lot Re: Layout building. I am totally in agreement with you. I have built dozens of layouts and in complete honesty once trains are running I'm looking for something to modify or update or weather more, or anything other that sit and watch trains, BUT having said that I have stated that Dent will be my final build and I just want to watch the trains go by.........time will tell eh! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 I plan 5 years for KL2 and when the majority of the construction work/buildings/scenery is complete I plan to build some kind of shunting plank..... But only time will tell. There's a whole new layout to build before that! Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Guys, That's why I have built small layouts for the last few years, but even now with TLGP in mind I am planning a smallie to do before the big one. And Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipparooba Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think when I initially looked at this, airmail packets as long as 1 metre were hugely expensive, but I might be wrong.... in any event I thought the local supplier of C&L would be ok and I saw no great difficulty in assembling 10 250mm lengths of track.... how wrong I was! Again. Anyway, waste not, want not... half-finished pic... new packages arrived from Hattons B17 and Evening Star I think, so who cares about track?

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2014 Andy, I've been sent packing - I failed the first exam! I'd forgotten that Jason expected me to learn all the loco addresses before I was allowed to "play trains". So I'm currently sat watching..... And by the way, Bacup is a lot MORE impressive than the photos of it show. Jeff 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I did post on Bacup earlier wondering where the Hel* you were and why no pics yet. Have a shunt for me mate. Regards to Jason. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Has Jason got you thinking Terminus, because I know I would if I were there, like Borchester Market, there is so much realistic operation in a Terminus plan. Help, I'm having a re think. Need a coffee with LOADS of whiskey to calm me down. And Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
