Marcus 37 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hi Marcus, not the best of pictures I'm afraid but if you did want any of them in Hi-Res then just let me know and I'll send them to you.......... 66763 Bewdley 1 21MAY16.JPG 66763 Bewdley 2 21MAY16.JPG 66763 Bewdley 3 21MAY16.JPG 66763 Kidderminster 21MAY16.JPG Hi Adrian Great pictures mate. Thanks for posting. It certainly was busy. Been told since there was in the region of 4600 visitors that weekend so was definitely a sucess. Sorry I haven't posted sooner but works been a bit manic lately so haven't managed to get much done lately. The only day I had spare it was far to hot in the loft so had to abandon ship. By the way, congratulations on being my 1000th poster on PDW. All the best Cheers Marcus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hi Marcus, Good to have a Chat on Saturday, I hope the Grass laying wasn't to SHOCKING, hahhah. Hi Andy Yes enjoyed our chat too. We will have to meet up again soon. You were right though. It was far too hot up in the loft. Did manage to do about a foot on a couple of roads in the sidings but that was enough. Ended up doing some gardening instead!! Works been a bit manic recently and next week looks to be the same so its all a bit quiet on the modelling front. All the best mate.

I'm so glad you are alright. I'll be back up in October so I will definitely be popping around to see you. Hopefully those RMC hoppers will have arrived by then. I'll give you a call soon mate. Been up to my eyes in it lately although I have managed a bit today. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Apologies for no updates of late. I'm either working or its too hot to go in the loft. Well today its raining and I've got the day off so had a blast with the new static grass applicator in the sidings. Looking decidedly unkempt now. Lovely!!

Hi George Things always seem to take over at this time of year. Modelling is definitely a winter hobby for those long dark evenings. I'm enjoying myself at work at the moment as we have started doing charters and taking our loco's to diesel galas so I've been doing a couple of those at weekends. Was on a pair of 50's yesterday!! Glad you are well Take care mate. Cheers Marcus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Andy. I was wondering whether to mix it up as I do have some Autumn green. Might give it ago the next time I'm up there. I'm using 2mm at the moment but I was going to get some 6mm in a darker colour to add some longer tufts dotted around the yard.

All the best Marcus You may need to do the 6mm by hand and then just WAVE the sieve over after to get some to stand up a bit. 4mm will be fine, don't forget, that's a foot tall.
