Nice video Mr C!
Nice video Mr C!
Excellent use of a surplus model there. Looking forward to seeing the model with the final weathering. A very brave project in N gauge too.
Now I must say Mr @Cowley - that is absolutely superb! Looks brilliant and actually really realistic (so in-keeping with Lapford!).

You're most welcome.Cheers Peter. I’m waiting for the postperson to deliver me a Dutch 33 now. That’s the next detailing job.
Nice job! The oil stains indicate that it has burst good and proper.Thanks for reading and a gentle nudge for @xotGD who I reckon will have a few memories stirred by this.

Has all the scenery now been fully completed at Lapford?
Time to start thinking about the project now…
Have you considered the Rhine Gorge?
Your layout has saved the former scene for posterity.

I thought I'd responded to this - terribly sorry @Cowley. You don't suppose someone's taken a look at your model, thought the real thing could never be as good as it, and demolished it lest it be seen as an inferior copy?I’ve considered Monessie Gorge.
A great disaster has befallen the former Taw Valley Hotel! I took this picture while giving one of the girls a driving lesson.

Oh dear - reminds me of a story of the chap who sold ("sold") the Eiffel Tower - though perhaps Wayne is somewhat laissez-faire in his attitude to the whole thing...Well that’s a very nice thing to say.
However I feel that Wayne had a part in this. He’s probably sold the rubble to someone and knocked it down while no one was looking.

Oh yes! There's a wonderful video from the Technical Difficulties group in their Citation Needed series (videos made in part by Tom Scott, of whom some forum members may already be aware for his informative YouTube videos) about the subject (though I expect you might already have seen it, it's very funny and I'd recommend all of their content to anyone reading this)!

The guy sold it once and pocketed not only the scrap value but a bribe!
Legged it to Vienna.
Then came back and did it again!

Excellent, have a great weekend! And more photo's please!
I wouldn't have been able to attend, but I'm sorry I missed seeing this.Busy times.
We’re at the Taunton model railway show this weekend with Moors View if anyone’s in the area and wants to say hello.

Very nice set of photos, I looks like it was a great show.Thanks @Iskra. To be honest it was incredibly busy all weekend so unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to have a proper look around. Definitely the busiest one yet.
These were in the rooms right near us which was all I was able to get to.

This one was opposite and I thought it would appeal to you. I thought I’d taken a photo of the name but it hasn’t come out. Really loved it though:

This is the cup that they presented Paul for the Visitors Choice award:

We didn’t realise what was happening at first. All the staff from the show turned up and then started clapping.
I was so tired after the weekend though. You really have to be on it, and you also have to answer questions that people are throwing at you, fix problems, keep things running and entertaining etc.
It’s a lot of work and you don’t do it to win prizes but it’s lovely that people like it so much that they voted for it.
