Re: Seafoam Trees - well eventually

According to Chiltern Seeds there are approximately 786 seeds in a packet - that's a lot of trees :o

Re: WEST ORTON

Great video and loco Steve - the layout does look impressive. I had my FS running the other day - the steam is very realistic.

Re: Seafoam Trees - well eventually

They really do look good - I expect the sales in seeds to go up over the next few weeks :) https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_1235A_teloxys_aristata?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxNW2BhAkEiwA24Cm9OBucDM9Bzb4RGEo0fW43TnK6FHTCv93J7-zERKwKl9r9F9jsxVN9xoCNXgQAvD_BwE I assume there are other suppliers.

Early Autumn/Cold Winter

I don't know whether this is a sign from Mother Nature, but the leaves are coming off our lime trees at a tremendous rate, which is a lot earlier than usual. We have three trees that are about one hundred feet high and make up an avenue of Limes, probably planted hundreds of years ago - my neighbour...

Re: Wykeham - Somewhere in the south!

Thanks Steve - I might just strip off a couple of mm's of the outer covering, and stick the bare wire to the rail, with a coat of paint it won't have the "just glued on" look.

Re: Wykeham - Somewhere in the south!

Does this look better? I will give it a coat of paint and dirty it up a bit.

Might make for an interesting light display. :?
I might give that suggestion a miss Steve - I once saw a guy put a road drill through a mains cable in the road - not a pretty sight :(

Re: Wykeham - Somewhere in the south!

Thanks Brian - I think you might be right. I was looking at the real thing, and it is a hefty chunk of cable. I'll see what's in the wire box.
