    There's nothing wrong with being enthusiastic. It all helps to get the job done. You've done well. I've had my hospital appointment, and sadly the AF thing has come back. I've had to cancel a Liverpool Hospital appointment, because there's no way on earth my Mum and I are gonna get there before 9am, considering the ongoing rail strikes on the main line. I sent the staff an email explaining the situation, and a lady emailed me back to confirm that an afternoon appointment is being arranged, and she was very understanding about me not wanting to attend 3 days before my 42nd birthday, in July. That's what I like about the doctors and nurses, they don't make me do anything I don't fancy doing. They always leave the choice up to me. Don't worry, I'm still alive and steaming.

    Fantastic Robert, we'll make a scratchbuilder out of you yet. You are so right, by adding bits, creating bits, modifying bits that's what it all about. Loved the Tony North Eastern style copings as well, I can imagine him doing exactly the same.
    May I suggest some tall trees and bushes both sides hiding the line nearest the layout backscene, that way your scenic break on the bridge is more believable.

      Hi John,
      Yes trees and more trees the piccadilly way and yes it could well work but space may be a problem so get in the backscenes and see or get an artist who can paint the viaduct going into the distance all possible is it not. I as always thank you for watching and your super and helpful comments the next update video is not yet started but the layout has moved on so keep watching and doing this is enjoyable so bring on the other builds. Hope you are finding time to get on with your layout and work is not to overbareing for you.
      Cheers Robert.

    Robert, you have done a really good job of making that bridge. The back scene looks great on top and blends in very well. Metcalfe would like a photo of the bridge. To prove how versatile their kits are. Martin. (Thailand)

    Hello Robert,
    What excellent work on the bridge. You did such meticulous work and then came up with some great solutions to awkward pieces or even too short. The photographic backdrops you made, once adjusted, also are quite a cool idea (I have experimented with this myself). Stunning bits of work again! Cheers and take care!

    • @robertstrainset6556

      Hi Anthony,
      Yes at some stage I will redo the bridge photos but for the moment I want to press on with the build which is going well so now need to start the next video for update 18. I thank you for watching and your very nice comments and I have watched your deck video and must say its a cracking bit of work so well done you say its the end of the video's but maybe a photo when complete with flowers etc would be nice. I hope Joyce and any others of your family that are poorly get better soon.
      Cheers Robert.

    Hi Robert, thanks for this update. The bridge as you modified it, in my opinion, looks even better and basically you have to think that you have customized it by transforming it very well and with a great angle of passage for passenger carriages. I like it my friend. I also really like the scenography personalized from one of your photos. Very good rating and a great like.Alberto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

      Scenic work the little details your right make a huge difference so how much I can do on this one as not a lot of room for it we will have to see but I am progressing but the video is a bit behind as sorting out the "new" computer and other things the time goes so quickly as I am sure you are finding out and I do not work so how you find the time is mind blowing but as usual thanks for watching and your very nice comments keep well and plastering.

      The jig was needed as that glue does not take prisoners no wiggle room at all but as long as you work around it you can get on much quicker so thanks for watching and your very nice comments and its great that you have your new controller about time I would say. A bit behind with the next video as have been sorting out the "new" computer but the layout has progressed keep watching.

    The Viaduct has worked well and you always seem to solve any problems you have encountered with Great Results. That unwanted stone parapet in your Panasonic backdrop picture could be easily removed using Photoshop Software as there is plenty of green vegetation to "blend it in" Thanks for the recommendation of HI Tack glue - I think I might try some of that because the Rocket glue is a bit runny and very expensive. Cheers for now! Malcolm

    • @robertstrainset6556
      @robertstrainset6556  2 місяці тому

      Hi Malcolm,
      I picked up another bottle of the Hi Tack glue but this one was runner it says on the bottle but as not used it yet not sure how runny so get my original one but you as I did needs to work very fast as no wiggle room at all with it. Cheers for watching and your very nice comments and as for the stone in the photo I am not all together happy with the directions of the rails so will probably reshot them anyway. The layout has progressed but not the next video so keep watching one will come later.
