Time will tell what, if any, difference it makes but it's worth a go. 

In my view, if a medic says 'let's try this', we are mad to decide otherwise. I hope benefits are soon evident.

Afternoon all, 

 

Many thanks for the kind words. All done and back at Chateau Sheep. Much numbness and slings but a pretty good effort from all involved in the treatment.

Hooves crossed it does. Gives you time to enjoy the Dapol catalogue online, did we mention they also did Panniers which are less ‘far away’ than the Accurascale ones?

Morning all, 

 

The hoof continues to make progress with a bit more movement this morning. I'm back with the Dr. on Friday so we'll have a better idea then. 

 

The main thing on the agenda is SWAG but whereas I'd hoped to get details out today, it's best that I hold off for another week or so........but it's in hand ( ! )

 

Rob.

Afternoon all, 

 

Progress.

First bit of railway modelling type stuff attempted. I fitted a decoder to a SE&CR P Class. Body removed,  decoder fitted, reassembled and tested. 

 

Ran well and certainly looked the part with the two Hattons 4 wheelers though I still consider the ensemble to be a tad bright after modelling 1950s BR for so long. 

 

All good and hoof seemed compliant. 

 

Rob. 

[Oldddudders]

Great to hear the hoof is increasingly talking to the rest of you, Rob. A P Class is not much of a loco, size-wise, so a fair test of nimble fingers. Well done!

[New Haven Neil]

Please to hear the hoof is doing well.  Enjoy the, err, P.

Fact- You can have a lot of fun with a small loco and one small van.

Isn't that just lovely.  The white carriage roofs are a bit....white....still, but I'm sure there is a plan!  But what a fantastic scene that has made, that livery is fantastic and for some reason the weeds n stuff just makes it all pop in that first photo in particular. Soup-erb.

Hi Neil, 

 

It is rather nice. Yes, the white roofs will be taken in hand, no idea how yet but it will happen. The good thing is such treatment to the roofs is aided by the fact that they are removable. They can be tackled as individual projects. 

 

The Wainwright loco livery is just sublime and I shall be exercising caution when weathering these locos. You're spot on regarding the colouring and the effect of the scenery. Perhaps more than the other layouts, Lambsdown will have much thought given to how the various colours influence each other. 

 

Something of an Edwardian Flower Power layout really. 

 

Yeah Baby !

Period platform flora and a rather unofficial station garden perhaps?

Polished locos but with plenty of dark oil and grease in appropriate areas? 

I'm sure you'll manage it and add to your skills in the process. 😎

[NHY 581]

Thanks Rob. 

 

This is getting me thinking about an experiment or two with colour, Darling.

Quite possibly, but I guarantee that the wearers would be considerably less attractive...
