You have my atention Peter.

Let's this wet forest!

[Guest]

kielder forest stages they were the best when wet will watch from afar and on the inside of the bend lol

[Guest]

I'm with ole, I'm not watching on the outside of a corner in the wet!

Safest place would be on the outside just before the bend, this way, you'll see them approaching the corner, going round and exiting...

When they're in Clocaenog by me some won't let you stand on the inside, it can be just as dangerous as standing on the exit of the bend...

Looking good so far Peter...

Yes, that looks tops Peter, the extra board pieces really bring it to life and add to the dynamism of the piece. Really like this.

Can you turn (bend) the front wheels for some opposite lock Peter?

Would add to the little details...

If you dribble some poly glue on the plastic axle it'll heat it up a bit and make bending easier, plus when it's cured it'll be rock solid:-)

I ve just put the op lock on so i dont know how it looks?.

Looks fine to me Peter!!

[Guest]

Pete what about adding some bales or tyres around the Telegraph poles that would add another bit of realism.

[yak face]

Looking good peter, dont forget to cake the telegraph poles and danger tape in mud , on that corner they'd get pretty mucky! cheers tony
