Hm, let me think, the shed the house, the street, the rather good looking Midland railway station, yeah, these are a few things that will be destroyed, either by the wrecking ball, or the A-bomb.

A-bomb? Nah, just has to pop down to Heysham One. Bye, bye Heysham, Morecambe, North West of England.

Oh, or the reality bomb......

Ooops no, I forgot its not a bomb, noooooo it won't destroy the shed!!

ROFL

yeah, but only activate it in the morcombe area, and surround morcombe in a temporal prison so the rest of reality isn't destroyed.

ITS ONLY A SHED NOT A CONCRETE BLOCK OF FLATS OR A LARGE PLANET!

Hmm, sounds like a good plan, the Daleks put the planets one second out of sync with the rest of the universe, keeping them safe and nearly undetectable. Sadly only humans live at my house (I'm still in two minds about my brother though) and none of us have the IQ for that kind of technology. I think the low tech option of hammer will have to be adheared to.

Nah, get a load of fireworks and raise it to the ground in a ball of flame

The 'tunnel of doom' will never be the same again. I think I (& my Wrekin) might miss it......on second thoughts !

Terroists on the ANLR!!!

I'm not a terroist! I just like watching (empty) buildings getting blown up.

I was highly amused to see Google put an advert for a "secure nuclear bunker" in your last post...

Really?

Cool!

This has got way out of hand, right here are some pics of the demolition. No we didn't blow it up with an A bomb, an reality bomb (which apparently isn't a bomb

:? ) or any other bomb, we did not hire terrorists (or Matt

) or raze it to the ground with fireworks, or knock it out with a giant wreking ball (and knock out the house in the process)
We hit it hard with a big hammer

and a small crowbar!

Going......

going.....

Gone!!!!

I then ran the last train on the old alignment, a heritage set of "Hazel", my first wagon, first kit and first coach

Then the track in the last bit of shed was lifted and the floor of the shed moved ready for the the start of stage 3, the new trackbed and the laying of track onto the new alignment.

Im sure I can hear the screams of delight from SLRmidge and all other garden railway people who have almost lost engines to that tunnel.

Ahh, I wanted pictures of it exploding in a ball of flame and then bits of wood falling from the sky on the garden.

looks like a demolition yard atthe moment

Brilliant, really opened that area up, and you can then see the trains behind. What will you do with the area? A pond or summut?

laalratty · Post by **laalratty** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 9:32 pm

Theres a station going on the back line, and the extra space will be partly used by this as well as an extension to the slate quarry area and planting

Looks FAB, fits in much better with the 'scale' feel of the ANLR
