Switched tracks, not derailed. Someone moved one of the levers in the switch box shown.

Preston Park has a miniature railway like that. I remember riding on it when i was a kid. Looks like its still up and running 40+ years later.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

The Llys-y-fran full loop is now open again as they've finally completed the new bridge. It only took them 3 months.
Its wide enough to easily ride across too instead of being just slightly wider than handlebar width.
Dry and sunny but only 5c (41f).

Another building in the station finished. Just the section in the middle to do with its canopy now.

Finished my medium station build. Just needs the signs, information boards and posters fitting, plus some chimney pots.

That was the full moon last night. ****** clouds kept covering it though.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Transplanted a couple or three fruit trees after the FIL kept complaining they were always in his road when mowing the lawn. He had planted them in the first place.

At first I thought you had turned your clocks the wrong way by to many hours

I only just remembered to do the one in the caravelle this morning. Everything else does it automatically.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Sunset last night.

Another misty drizzly morning.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Happy easter.

 

[Jacko264]

Happy Easter to you too
And all on the forum

Got the posters and information boards fitted, added a couple of vending machines, changed the doors to red ones and put up the name signs. I think it's done now. Island platform building next.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Made a start on some little bits of bodywork on the caravelle. Inner section folded up and welded in.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Chopped a bit more rot out, creating even bigger holes where there was once just small ones.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Just got back from getting LPG and fish and chips in Fishguard. Warm wind and sunny, 24c (75f) in late afternoon making it officially the warmest day of the year in the UK so far.

Opened the windows and skylights in the autosleeper this afternoon to air it out a bit.

Father in law finally got his ride on mower back after nearly 3 weeks. It was sent away for a suspected thrown belt. Came back with a £350 ($470) bill. Invoice says it had a rope wrapped up underneath it. I call BS as no rope was ever left in the garden and it had only been moved 20ft from the shed across the grass when it sounded like something snapped and it stopped cutting.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Applied a bit of textured black bumper paint to the caravelle's bumper end caps and front spoiler to tidy them up.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Father in law has decided he's going to trade in his ride on mower for another model with twin blades. Only problem is no-one will take it as a trade in due to the brands reputation for throwing belts.

Raining yet again. We've had just 3 days with no rain so far in April. About the same as we had in the whole of March.

Spitfire 90th anniversary flight day 6 route was supposed to pass within a mile of our house using the Preseli hills as a trig point but last minute they changed the route to hug along the coast instead.
A few piccies from previous days routes.

The spitfire was cruising along doing 160-190 knots for most of the flight. The F35s were virtually idling.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Very cool!!!

Just a shame the route was changed last minute. We sometimes get a couple of A400M flying past which is pretty cool. The last time one had the rear open with a bloke sat on the ramp with a camera.

Just after COVID there was a spitfire going round the country with NHS painted under its wings
it flu right over where I worked twice and dipped the wings to all waving to the pilot fantastic engine sound

Missus appointment to have an op on her foot today. Dropped her off at 7:15am then took the dogs for a walk around the old racecourse at Haverfordwest.
Got a text at lunchtime saying she was last on the list so who knows when she'd be out. Just before 3pm got a text from her saying the person before her had just gone in. 4pm she texted 'you can come and pick me up, my op has been cancelled'. Gonna be at some point in May now.

That’s really frustrating for both of you. Thought that **** only happens over here.

She'd waited months for the appointment after it kept getting pushed back again and again. The person in before her was having her ankle fused and they ran into complications.

Can't really plan on doing anything now until the new appointment date comes through then it'll be a 6 week wait until she can put weight back on it properly. So possibly mid June or July by then.

I feel your pain my wife broke both her feet in Late June getting out of my truck of course we didn’t know they were broke. X-rays misread, diagnosis of gout, reaction to chlorestrol meds, no they were broke bed rest, Velcro booties, purchase of a stairlift to get her up the steps twice a day. One healed one didn’t. Surgery in November, plates screws, more rest and finally in February released to resume normal activities. Walks a little funny but getting better slowly.

Hope your wife gets the surgery she needs to get back to normal.
