    Thank you kind sir.

    There will be further strides this weekend. Need to come up with another excuse to avoid the dreaded creosote. :avatar:

    Looking forward to tackling the electrics . Hope my PB5 and switch 8 arrives before the weekend. It will let me launch into it. Connecting the electrics by day and chipping my fowler so and buds well Clarke by night. :avatar:

    If I do have the correct chips, they will be done before the weekend. I'm sure they are pretty easy to come apart....... And if they are not ....... I always have the hammer...... Works every time. :avatar:

    I feel a class 22 coming on from JLTRT. I've ordered an LMS van wagon thing to try it out. If I am suitably impressed, the Class 22 could be next........ Not this month though.:avatar:

    Cheers

    Forgot to say, I'll bring those canopies up and you can have a look and see what you think. May have a footbridge as well.

    Quicker to build so will save a little time and effort but still give a good result. :thumbs:

    Cheers

    Started on the Cinema Low relief kit (T006)

    Base carcase made up

    [​IMG]

    Then started on the front

    Waiting for the glue to dry before applying the sills.

    Hopefully this will be a fairly quick build, so get back to the Hotel :whatever:

    I thought so but don't suppose it matters :avatar: It'll get read anyway.

    My 5Amp Smart Booster arrived today form Wickness Models. :thumbs: not a bad service really.

    Cheers

    Has anyone seen my horticultural Engineer Gary?

    Never find him when you need him :facepalm: how is a body meant to plan his landscape without his advisor. Only the best in the business. :avatar:

    It shouldn't be that far away until I get started ...... After electrics etc. some ideas on ballast colours, ground scatter and some natural features to lift the bareness away from a otherwise flat surface.

    Another thing, I want to press my Prestigious Rumings tufts into service. Now I know you made them initially for my R&GLR OO scale layout but I reckon they would be every bit as much at home on Luib Bridge.

    Your thoughts oh green fingered one.:scratchchin:

    I should add just in case it matters that the platform edges to the loading bay will be in brick ....... Not stone.

    Cheers
