Breakfast, lunch and dinner are temporary solutions. In my case, very temporary 😜

I do like the little shunty thing though. It looks like it escaped a local quarry.

The two little shunty things were loaned by a nice gentleman who offers DCC services. Mr Sheep was particularly taken with the realistic sounds produced by both locos. The klaxon was sounded... frequently!

Needless to say, I gave that particular area a wide berth..........

And with regards to Exeter, the weekend was excellent, more so thanks to Tim joining me over both days to share the operating and how nice it was. 

Ewe was well received and lots of nice types stopped to chat. Very entertaining it was. 

Saturday evening  was spent in the company of Tim,  John @Re6/6 and Graham @Graham_Muz in the rather nice surroundings of The Dartmoor Halfway Inn. Triphome was the usual M5 on a Sunday afternoon and I have to say I was pretty pooped yesterday evening. Today, Sheep 3 has been unloaded and I'm now taking it easy.

Next outing for Ewe is to Penarth in just under two weeks time.

I'm convinced it's one of those colour blind tests. If you stare at it long enough you should see a number appear, unless you're colour blind that is.

Model the above on an exhibition layout and wait for all the rivet counters to tell you it’s “unprototypical” 🤣

 

I think it’s quite brilliant as a piece of advertising!

Callum @SDJR7F88 has done his usual fine vidjoe of the Exeter show....

I watched that video the other day, I must say some of his shots were so good for a second they looked real.

 

He must be using a good lighting set up as it all looks like natural light.

 

Course it helps when the item being filmed is also high quality.

Morning all, 

 

Happy July. I've been finding it tricky to post stuff following an upgrade to my phone last week. It's still a bit hit and miss but I think I may now have resolved the gremlins. 

 

Ewe is off to the Penarth show on the week end so will be giving things a post-Exeter clean up this week. 

 

After that, no exhibitions until September so a bit of a break. In the interim, I'm looking forward to visits to Larkrail and Railwells. 

 

So, pretty much continuing the current theme with not much to report following the demise of Lambsdown. 

 

Rob.

The Matford Centre roof allows a lot of natural light into the area used for the exhibition  Matford Centre image from visitexeter.com

Hi Rob,

 

You may wish to speak to the organisers of Railwells as they still have you down to attend the show with Lambsdown on their website. Maybe an admin error on their website maintenance.

Hi Steve, 

 

They are aware. I have the email. I'm sure they'll tidy things up.

Morning all,

 

As posted in the area groups section, Ewe will be appearing at the Rmweb Midlands Area Group Members Day in September.

 

 

I don't get many trips 'oop north' so I'm looking forward to this and for the chance to meet up with @Tom F who is doing a weathering demonstration.

Make certain you leave a piece of wool securely attached to something heavy at Chateau Sheep. That way if you get lost you'll be able to follow the wool home.
