Bit worried by first answer their Mr Wolf but not wishing to pry any further particularly about the funny smelling larder. As to sheepish bloke I think all we can say is that he's a jammy so and so.

Exmouth Junction concrete works was rebuilt and enlarged in the late 1920s and I don't think that platform/platform-facing panels were produced there before the rebuilding was completed. There were quite a few Southern Railway platforms on the mainland that were cast in place in the same manner as the island platform at Havenstreet and the same method had been used by the LSWR since at least the turn of the century since the platforms on the Basingstoke & Alton Light Railway were built that way. Note incidentally that the design of the Exmouth Junction platform components were changed at about the time of nationalisation but probably just before. I suspect that the purpose was to reduce the amount of steel reinforcing (in short supply at the time) used in their manufacture. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted November 13, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2021 Morning all, Things are a tad quiet at Chateau Sheep this morning with little in the way of progress made with Project X. That will change in the near future with more time becoming available. I have also acquired yet another example of a Bachmann 03 at a reasonable price, along with a spare body which will be swapped over to produce a fourth variant. We now have two plain green and two waspy examples. Yes, that will do. Should anyone fancy the redundant body shell then drop me a PM and arrangements can be made in due course and forthwith. Hopefully then, there will be a little time later on to 'do a bit'. I thank you. 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted November 19, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2021 Well, it's funny how one's mind wanders at times............. When I really should be focused on Project X, I find myself thinking about improving Bleat Wharf. Hopefully next year will see a return to exhibiting and Bleat is potentially at three exhibitions. Therefore, a quick project is afoot to improve the fiddle yard for Bleat which is also common to Sheep Dip as well, as is the lighting etc. This will however have a positive effect on the fiddle yard arrangements for Project X and will serve as a test piece ahead of actually building the exhibitable fiddly yard for PX. More anon.... R 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 You have my sympathies on the subject of meandering thought processes. My mind doesn't just wander, sometimes it **s off altogether... That said, what was thought to be a wrong turn sometimes brings you out right where you need to be, with views that you haven't seen before. (Zen and the art of railway modelling) I'll be interested to see what you make for a fiddle yard, I could do with some practical ideas for a future project or two that will share a common fiddle yard 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmm One's breath is not being held.. Rob. It must be something to do with the misalignment of the planets. All has not gone to plan today here either. Long story short, the fuel line on the Herald has rusted through after 56 years of British weather. I went into the garage and the stink of petrol sort of gave it away. So I've spent a happy couple of hours making a new one and replacing the rubber connections with marine grade hose. Then it was a mad dash to do what we originally intended to do. I might get some bodging done later. Or not. I thought that you would get the Pirsig connection, having got some serious two wheeled miles under your belt. Bash on! 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
