Leyland, Garstang and Burscough 2!

Cup? Surely a Preston North End drinking implement has GOT to be a mug?

Re. the mountain - I always thought they were made out of mole hills?

Hope this helps.

More that you could ever imagine Mel

I also have a WBA mug in the cupboard at home, I was saving it for when you visit , Never been to m[strike]olin moly malin mulen[/strike] that place where wolves play!

 

[Netty]

What a great use of space why have i not seen this before !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
re Your temp hill im thinking £50 will buy some thin ply........... some cheap pond liner from ebay and a bag of bark from B&Q

Cut plant pot shape holes in ply and cut ply to shape of frame..... cover in pond liner cutting out holes for pots.... place pots in holes so bush's are level with liner and just sticking out...................... cover the rest with bark................. hide sides with more plants in pots but so you can move to be able to lift up liner to get to track.............

Tony

Somthing along those lines is what was what I had in mind Tony, only using fake grass and making it undulating (TOP WORD) too. The plants are likely to get sunk into the mipex matting too

 

[yb281]

Fake grass idea sound excellent to me mate. Maybe on a wire netting frame?

Sooooooo, if the mighty Wolves draw PNE in the FA cup, you come down here, I'll introduce you to the REAL theatre of dreams and you can have a HUUUUGE roll of really good netting that I've got here.

 

[Netty]

That sounds good Mel, ta! The only dream a PNE fan has is the heady heights of a nil nil on a wet Tuesday in Rochdale, oh the joy of it all. Will go look at Freds piccy again to cheer me up!!

 

[whatlep]

Netty - I just adore that station throat shot with the reverse curves and loops all blending in. The old, much missed Manchester Victoria approaches in miniature!

 

[Netty]

Oh yes, that's the sort of look I was trying to achieve. If I'm still at this place when the sun is further round there should be some good early morning, late evening shots to be had. Now, who was it made that class 25, red bank parcels time

 

[shropshire lad]

Really impressive Dave,top job

 

[Gizzy]

That's a cool track plan Dave!

Lurve all those points and crossings.... :love:

A bit better than an architect who when we told him we were looking for extensive landscaping he submitted a drawing showing undulating green..........

tarmac!
He got v shirty when it was refused.

 

[Netty]

Done a bit of ballasting today, only had two bags (Steves fault) but I think it makes a difference. That Duffy bloke is not as daft as we think he looks. The awful plastic grass stops the ballast from going all over the shop

 

[steinman]

Great stuff Dave, looks a lot better

 

[Round n Round]

​

Looking good, Dave.​

 

[Don Gilham]

Very nice Dave

 

[yb281]

Should we have a vote? :thinking:

Looks smart mate.

 

[mike]

i vote yes!!
nice dave.. now can i order a ton off it please

 

[Netty]

Got 20 ton of pea gravel coming next week How many labels did you want Mike? That lot there cost six whole english pounds so unless I can find a cheaper supply I'll have to fork out another £18!! Shocking!!

 

[mike]

i take back most off everything i said about you netty, your a star
same as last time matey, about 30 od lables please, if its no trouble..
and as much gravel as we can get away with!"!

 

[Gizzy]

Looking good with that ballast Dave!
I mean the track of course and not Dave per se?

I'm just glad I didn't have to see him in his tu-tu....

 

[Netty]

A cycle ride and a long walk today but still managed a bit of testing. A glorious day here today hopefully make a start on a station soon, more ballasting and sort out the hill. A rew piccys from today.

 

[mike]

looking dead smart dave
