Fishplate Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 2 hours ago, NHY 581 said: Morning Fishers, Yep, spot on regarding the 'protector'. Anti clumsy sheep deterrent. The initial coat of PVA was 'restrained' with a strip of normal masking tape. I removed this once a skin had formed. Subsequent layers were built up without the making tape as was the final coat of yacht varnish. Thank you Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stuff is quite the best available. Apart from his exquisite bushes and trees, I find this stuff particularly useful for the likes of nettles either in two or three spikes or 'en masse'! https://en.mbrmodel.eu/products/shrubbery/dark-green The latest tree for Marsh. Several more to build for the headshunt area! 13 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 6, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Morning John, I did look at the 'nettley' stuff when I ordered. In hindsight I should have ordered some at the time as I can see a place for it now, something I missed at the time. Given how straight forward the whole process was, MBR trees will be a go to now for future projects. Rob. Edited April 6, 2022 by NHY 581 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Morning Alex. Of course. You'll be at Edington with Yelveryon that weekend. There is an outside chance that I may be able to make it for the Sunday. Nothing confirmed yet as we are still down to be away. However, this is subject to change. Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 8, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2022 Evening all, A few jobs are ongoing at Chateau Sheep. One of these involves the 'personalization ' of the Bachmann Grotty Shed. Work in progress............ Attention now moves to the roof........

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 9, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2022 Morning all, The upgraded ( arguably ) Bachmann shed has been added to the layout to check 'aesthetics'. Here are the results thus far......I need to tinker with the roof a little bit more as I lost the lighter colours when I applied too much matt varnish. Not a drama but I should know better........

RodneyS Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hi Rob Apologies for repeating myself and for interrupting the work on Ewe but did you ever get your remaining Dapol/Rails Terrier ? I was reminded of this as I ran my two K&ESR Terriers (one Hornby and one Dapol) on my friend's layout last night. Rodney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reminded of this as I ran my two K&ESR Terriers (one Hornby and one Dapol) on my friend's layout last night. Rodney Evening Rod, Yes. The third Terrier was finally sent with a bit of a 'take it or leave it' undertone from Dapol. This was despite the fact that it was returned by me due a clear cosmetic issue, a badly bent footplate although the running wasn't that good either or the fact I rang to enquire where it was and I received the news that it hadn't been sent. This was apparently due to a mix up between the returns department and the dispatch department......... Overall not the best experience. Eight locos sent/returned/re-sent to arrive at three acceptable locos. Rob. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they've given up trying to find good ones in their stock. Rodney Indeed. It seems that it made no difference buying these from the manufacturer or Rails. The faults were consistent across the board. My theory, which is probably incorrect, is that Hornby rushed their version out to release ahead of Rails. Rails rushed theirs to get them out in response to Hornby's release. The result is that neither version was quite what was originally intended.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 13, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2022 Morning all. Just a heads up that little will be updated on thread ahead of the SWAG show on the 24th as I'm both readying the layout, which is still someway off and thoroughly immersed in the organisation of the show. Hopefully some of you fine types will be making your way to Staplegrove on Sunday 24th and you will see Ewe in person as it were. It will be good to see you.
