QUOTE (Julian2011 @ 19 Jan 2013, 17:30) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hi Sarah,
After your helpful exchange about Signal Box interior parts, on your Workbench Post, I looked for the Highley Station to see if there might be some reason why 2 manufacturers might want produce the Box.

I found the Signal box and looked back at this thread, which I learn from every time, thank you. However, while looking at the Highley Station, something rang a bell from earlier in this thread at #46 ...

The Highley web page rather vindicate your use of Fire Buckets ... I stopped counting at 10 .....

Hi Julian.

I am glad you find my input of use...

Yes, Fire Buckets are rather common. Now there is a new "game". Instead of counting "Rivets", we can count Fire Buckets!

The results could be interesting.....

Hi Sarah / Julian,

Or maybe mind blowing !!!!! How many buckets was that again ...........

Cheers,

Norm

If the photos are replaced by the "Look Who's Popular" sign, the bandwith limit for the current month has been exceeded. The photos will be visible again next month!

Direct linking bypasses the Bandwith Barrier....

Some recently worked on wagons for Ffrwd Locks...

Click the links to go to the photos....

Delightful work, Sarah,

I was a little worried to see you had let a couple of dirty little waggons link up together ...........

......... not thinking of starting some N gauge, are you ....

J

 

[Ruffnut Thorston]

Now now...I have no idea of what you could mean there!

Actually...I had some N Gauge stock in my hands in a model shop on Thursday....but they weren't for me.

Someone had a project to make a "hat" with a railway around the brim.

Sort of like a Terry Pratchett style hat, with the crown disguised as a mountain, with trees. (Very Discworld in fact...)

I was just helping out!

Hi Sarah,

Some really nice "had a hard life" weathering details on those wagons - very nice indeed. Also took another look at those wonderful outdoor pics - even better the second time around.

On the "hat" front - the mind boggles LOL !!!!

Cheers,

Norm

PS. Didn't spot any fire buckets by the way !

I've tried several times over the last week Sarah but for some reason I just can't see any of your pictures. All I get is a grey square that says 'Look Who's Popular'. I get the same thing on your 'Projects' thread.

Is it just me or are others having the same problem ?

 

[Ruffnut Thorston]

Hi all, and thanks for the comments.

Photobucket has a monthly "Bandwith Limit" on the "Free" account.

QUOTE Your account has reached the free 10GB bandwidth limit.

Get unlimited* with Photobucket Plus.

So, once everyone has looked at the photos and in effect downloaded 10GB, then you get the "Popular" patch.

Of course, if you pay them...you get more storage (not needed at the mo.) and unlimited downloads, or "Bandwith".

I think it was the outdoors photos that have increased traffic this month, I just about got away with it last month.

I will have to do a bit of sorting out into "albums" and more direct linking as this doesn't use the "Bandwith" like the "IMG" Image tags do....

 

[Ruffnut Thorston]

A Happy Christmas to you all.

Some recent work for Ffrwd Locks...

The Ffrwd Branch of the Ellesmere Canal...

I have found these sites interesting, they cover the history of the canal scheme that the Canal at Ffrwd Locks would have been part of...
