  1. Morning Nick, Like me, you'll probably use a couple of spare PECO sleepers but PECO actually do spare sleepers specifically as infills etc. Came across them in the catalogue yesterday. Rob.
  2. Collected the two BR brown examples yesterday. Excellent little models. Top effort all round. Have to say, I'm really looking forward to weathering them but there will be a bit of a delay due to temporary lack of facilities. Rob
  3. I'll possibly be able to have a look at them tomorrow evening, Alex. First impressions are of a bit of a glossy roof to attend to. Rob
  4. Hi Steve. Sadly not at present as everything railway related is liberally distributed around Chateau Sheep. BUT............ Take it from me they are lovely....... AND Fingers crossed, they can be photographed by tge end of the week on EWE. Rob
  5. And I can confirm we have collected the first of the new units for the Room of Doom. I thank you. * oh....oh.... and I've also collected two of Rapido's lovely W&U tramway bogie coaches........yum.
  6. Evening all and many thanks for your kind words etc re Tom's bump. As an update, his car is on the mend. Mr Bentley is doing the right thing and has been in touch and is now dealing directly with the garage sorting Tom's car and has confirmed he is picking up the costs involved. So, hopefully things will return to normal before too long. Rob.
  7. Morning all, Well, yesterday was interesting. NHY minor managed to open his RTA account by torpedoing a Bentley which emerged onto the road in front of him and crossed his bows. Front end damage to Tom's Fiesta and considerable and no doubt significantly more expensive damage to the entire side of the Bentley. Crucially, no one was injured and there's just the damage to resolve. Driver of the Bentley has been on touch and seems a decent type. These things happen...... Therefore progress on the Room of Doom was understandably compromised but I'm hoping to pick up the first of the shelving units this evening after work. What has become apparent is that there is a degree of compromise in what will be the new Room of Doom, of which more in due course............... Rob.
  8. Mmmmm......so, the President of The Peoples Front Against Panniers seeks information on Panniers.................on behalf of a so called 'friend'....
  9. Morning Richard, I believe the Memsahib may have what is locally known as a hissy fit if such a disposal was even thought about........ Morning Martyn. Interesting thought but whilst the Room of Doom won't be completely tidy ( well, not for long ) and far from minimalist, I'm looking forward to having a relatively ordered and freshly repainted space in which to tinker with trains. Hopefully, the use of weatgering powders will be confined to the Desk of Doing...of which more anon.. Now it's devoid of furniture you can really see how small the room actually is so careful thought is needed. The main positive I can see is the moving of what will be a bigger Desk of Doing to in front of the window, as opposed to sitting with my back to it. Can't beat wirking in natural light....ish. Today then will see the pre-painting prep hopefully completed. No.1 Son dropped in last night so the far more important business of catching up was attended to. Rob.
  10. Ahem...... The Room of Doom is empty. Slight delay as nipped out to purchase paint. Interesting shade approximating to Panzer Grau. Moving onto pre painting prep apres din dins. I thank you.
  11. No need to apologise, Andy. People need to remember that you're having a lot of deliveries, dealing with customer orders, retailer orders, ongoing warranty stuff and no doubt prepping for Warley, as well as progressing other projects. Rob.
  12. In addition.....the only thing of interest amongst the Bachmann Winter announcements was this, (Screenshot of Kernow listing) You may recall I used one of these on Mutton. Mmmmmmmm Rob
  13. Morning all, It's a tad inclement at Chateau Sheep this morning. Nothing to do with the Sauerkraut soup served up last night. Very tasty indeed but with some moderate increasing to severe gusting afterwards. However, it is currently a bit rubbish outside with blustery stuff and not just a drop of rain, as reported first thing by The Works Forecat and George who both looked a tad moist on their return to the Chateau early doors. Intention is to continue with R o D but there is a garden related tip run first thing which will also see some former R o D equipment transported accordingly. Updates will follow. Rob.
  14. Not If Wooders........when......And they fit in a fitting fashion on the dining table. Rob
  15. Hi Alan, I wish ! I work on the basis that the sooner it's done, the rebuild can start. Hopefully lunchtime tomorrow will see us choosing paint. I'm even contemplating not watching Wales v Barbarians live........this is serious stuff. On a positive, I know the shelf units and table I'm getting so all being well, we should be getting them on Monday though I'd really like to collect them on Sunday. Rob
  16. Evening all. Well, the evacuation of the Room of Doom is slightly behind schedule. I was commandeered to remove copious amounts of garden waste and two fully loaded trips to the tip later, I was back in the Room of Doom. I've paused now and will resume in the morning. Two things have struck me. 1. I have a lot of trains/books/magazines/materials but above all, a generous amount of accumulated cr@p. That has taken the bulk of the time to sift through and discard. End result- A lot less cr@p will be returning to the R o D. Two large rubbish bags to be absolutely clear. 2. Where the hell am I going to put a single bed which is no longer needed ? If any one needs one and can help with that, please let me know. Not that old, minimum use, complete with decent mattress. So, tomorrow could/should see an empty room and possibly a fresh coat of paint by the evening. Rob
  17. Hi Graham, The DCC Concepts jobs are way too tall. We have them in the shop and they're just not right. Probably more suited to 7mm than 4. The best are the Dart Castings but of course they aren't illuminable. Sadly, the remaining one seems to be as per the DCC Concepts. I've not helped. Rob
  18. Morning all, I see 2ManyPanniers is making a late bid for the Christmas Naughty Step award......I'm sure, with space looking tight at next year's SWAG, room can be found for a demo stand in the the Gentleman's toileting facilities........ In other news............... Ahem. I am emptying the Room of Doom. I thank ewe.
  19. Morning Chris, I think I'm okay for now but might come back to you once the imminent refurb of the Room of Doom is completed. Might be able to squeeze you in next to Linda Lusardi and Vicki Michelle. Rob.
  20. Nope. Leave for a week or so, then decide using a fresh pair of eyes. We don't want the Cock Up Fairy paying a visit. Rob.
  21. Lovely detail of the station lamps in that image. Rob.
