How honoured am I to have my own Yard! .............. Can I do an unveiling with a bottle of bubbly

Hello, The line was extended from Netherfield to Neil's yard last February! Do we need to get the inspectors in. Has someone stolen your identity. Tune in next week.

Hello, This gets a bit more intriguing, as I'm scratching my head as to where sixty odd tons of dry cement is going along with twenty tons of aggregate? Are you on a government aided grant scheme, for what? Is it a new breakfast cereal factory. Bananas with a fruit mix sounds wonderful, but where do you stick the potatoes. No rude suggestions please. Arr, I've just been given some fish & chip flavoured crisps. Is that what you are into. Are you trying banana & fruit flavoured crisps as well. Are they Mrs Cropley recipes!

Filling potholes !?

Hello, Bramble lane inner home signal with advanced Gosford Green junction signal. It protects the gates, as always, but I've added the Gosford Green arm.

Hello, Dining alfresco at the Wheatsheaf. Easy access from Longford Park. Whilst walking, please don't bump into the railway room curtains.

Philip, I may get off there one day, instead of passing through.

Hello, Improved safety and security at Longford Park. The opposite side, looking from Longford Park. Our Longford Park is a small goods yard as well as a twice a day passenger single car platform. Staff & customers are forever walking around the yard, so visible protection is viable. It's operated from the line-side cabin, that also controls the point & starter signal. I've since added the walking boards & the personnel gate. I'm quite chuffed. I've always enjoyed the intrigue of a gated line. I liked this photo, but I wanted a proper gate. This is a long gone scene from Marsh Mills, near Plymouth.

Hello, Something else in that picture that I liked is the bracket signal, without a crossbar gantry. All of the weight & stress of the junction signal is placed upon the pole. Yet, there it is. So that gave me the idea of adapting my signal protecting Bramble lane gates.

Hello, Does anyone else have hobbies or interests that absorbed your minds?

We have our own 'Model Village' here now (Well Train and roadway) Thanks to Rob for helping to refine it and work out the bugs

Hello, That's fabulous. Some folks enjoy model railways that are simulated graphics. They assemble them in the assembly mode, add detail. Buy stock that they want & literally play trains, with steam, diesel exhaust & all types of realism. Shunt wagons, with all of the sounds, passengers walking & traffic in the street moving along with honking horns.

Hello, Our water levels in Hounds Hill, holding up well. Helped by a good healthy Hallbrook flowing well. The Hallbrook

Hi Phil I remember visiting the "Hall Brook" as a kid - but I think we also referred to it as "Poppies/Poppy's Parlour" - ring any bells? ps Just seen the Poppy's Parlour topic
