Looks like the Pikey's are moving in Mike!

Next thing you know, there will be a pile of old roofing felt and dirty ballast by those 'vans!

 

[mike]

I can confirm there are no Pikes.in the village..just a few happy swinging campers ...it is the swinging 60s..
Started on the roof tiles today ..and the chimney..

[mike]

Thanks guys...tomato pura sauce tube..cut flattened and cleaned. Fiberglass pen takes the printed stuff off leaving it lead like.. also ran a loco while I was working on the signal box

 

[mike]

I think its done.. steps and lamp added and name bords done..

 

[mike]

After finishing the box.. maintanaces on a loco.. back motor block died last week..I suspect a broken wire given that it died so quickly...and
Yes..easy fix ...

 

[mike]

One of the other outstanding jobs to do is to add passengers

Wired in the lighting to the closeSt 12volt ring main...

That first shot...
Can I see a lad pushing a bike up the left-hand side?
Is that a loaf of Hovis he has??

This gives a whole new meaning to 'stealth purchase'.

Buy 1 coach, slip in another, then help the missus spend her bingo winnings with the power car

We'll be coming round for lessons, Mike
