After seeing the trailer with the non clerestory roof I am tempted to get another just so I can modify the roof, but unlike yours I would keep the Bachmann roof and just loose the clerestory, I think it would look quite good.

Thanks for sharing your photos, its always good to see and get inspiration from what others are doing.

My Mum and Dad always used to repeat that line when passing through Corfe Castle en route to Swanage. But saying Corfe instead of Cough.

Ah, "corfe" is how posh Southerners pronounce cough (or "coff"), not that I'm accusing your Mum and Dad of being posh Southerners.

I don't think Essex quite counts as the posh south

My point exactly.

 

[playmofire]

My point exactly.

Well, I agree, I just didn't want to say so in case I caused further possible offence (none of which was intended).

I thought it was the s'ouf, or what we in Scotland refer to as englandshire

 

[Chris Vernell]

... englandshire

There's the North Riding, the West Riding, the South Riding and the East Sploshing

There's some very posh parts of Essex, trouble is, the try and kid us they're in Suffolk

Na then, tha's not reet there! There never was a South Riding - only in Phyllis Bentley's book 'Inheritance' - and the splosh was East Riding! Riding, in Dane Law, is a Thirding.

I was referring to dafyddelvy's englandshire, not the storied County of York , omnis divisa in partes tres as old IVLIVS might have said.

Too many cunning water schemes dancing through his grey cells

They probably mimic nature?
They normally trickle-through, quietly.. Occasionally catching the light, as a synapse fires..
Then turn into a raging torrent, when there is a problem!

I'll now have to find a bed of daffodils, to go and have a lie down..
