I think what you need is Tenmille's asbestos sheet for G1 - scales out about right for corrugated tin in 16mm. Hope I've got that right because I'm planning to buy some for a station build,,,

Thanks Andrew, but I can't find it on their website?

If you search "asbestos" on the GRS website you'll find it - but they were out of stock last week!

I was looking for a picture but found one here:

Back to the barn door wagons

Interesting pictures of those building sheets.
My Lincolnshire potato railways has provided pictures of a LIFU loco that appears to be a steam lorry. Fast steaming using paraffin on a hot surface. Not sure about a steam model but did wonder whether a diesel tractor/trailer could be interesting. I could keep it behind a barn door (with a corrugated roof)
As if I needed anymore projects

Great looking wagons

Hanging out the washing and I thought this light is too good to waste...Wish the track would auto Hoover.
If I had favourite spots, this might be it...

Just catching up Derek and boy that is some wagon you have built there.

I am very impressed, much better than I can do that’s for sure.

Hope you're ok Rod, I'll wrap those bits tomorrow, honest!

The wagon probably doesn't bear close inspection but does for me. If I can do it most others can, just a question of taking your time....most of my builds take time...

Thats fine Derek.

And I am a lot better now thanks.

Great photos, the sunlight looking good in those shots.

Fuschias removed it's a nicer spot now. The concrete pad was going to be a timber store but may be a brick barn. Glad I made Mrs B take a picture of that local barn....itsbeing painted black...even the bricks!
If I was Mick Jagger I would write a song...i see an old barn and I want it painted black...

The wagon and railway look good. One of my current projects is wagon building. I'm on prototype no 2 at the moment. No 1 never got finished, but I might revisit it in the future to see if I can get it to an acceptable standard.

Hear hear to that!

I can see why. Very bucolic - could easily be a scene on any number of ng light railways in days of yore.

Don't think I'll ever master singlehanded videos. If it could go wrong it did today. Generally grumpy as we have a 5.00 a.m. terrier. The walks in the woods are getting darker and even met a boar this morning which didn't help my non bonhomie .

Much better than the video I attempted! Nice smooth slow running. Very atmospheric.

Have to say I was happier with this photo than the videos..

You did good with the videos.
