    Thank you Keith. I did an apprenticeship with the GPO telephones decades ago. It’s a joint box by the way.

    Thought what I need is a cattle dock, so I made one and here it is.

    Very nice Brian, I particularly like the coble effect on the slope.

    Can I make a suggestion?

    I think that it would look even better with a mud with foot holes in it/puddles patch at the bottom of the slope. The cattle would dig into the ground as they try to gain traction on the slope and any rain on the slope would run down further adding to the overall bogginess at the bottom.

    Thanks Rob and yes I agree, it is a trite pristine and needs a bit of mud. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Mud added as suggested by Rob. I can now see base of tree needs some work.

    That looks excellent Brian, just what I had in mind. I have to agree about the base of the tree albeit I hadn't noticed it before.

    Aren't photos great for casually pointing out the next bit that needs attention....:rolleyes:

    Years ago I purchased some lights to go in the buildings of my OO layout. Well that layout has been gone nearly 3 years and while searching for something I found the lights. So I fitted them this week.

    Having added lights to the shed meant that when gazing through the window it looked too neat and tidy so I though I had better add a few tools and other bits. I’m getting there 78817AFB-7F50-464C-A223-0F4587284F0F.jpeg F329EC55-6260-4678-A604-702226FC4691.jpeg

    Thanks Paul I never expected Pic of the week, not considering many of the pictures on here. I’m honoured.
