  • Top Man on getting the op done and all go to plan. Great job on the platform build Robert. Worked out well.
  • Hello Robert Great to hear the opp went well. Good job with the platforms layout looking good πŸ‘
  • Glad to learn that the operation went very well and hope you recover soon! I like the work you have done to the platforms and the methods you used to solve these difficult clearance problems. Cheers for now! Malcolm
  • Dear Robert, The video is very nice. Spend the 6 weeks quietly because you will see that as your surgeon says it is certainly benign. A friend of mine operated on him but how cancerous he is they warn after a few days, so the more time passes the more you are calm. A big hug from your friend in Italy Alberto πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

    Glad to hear your on the mend. The station is looking good and film shots showing the train pulling into the station look very realistic.
  • Good thing the op went well and very nice progress on your layout

    Hi Robert, good to see your op went ok and all will be well. Great progress on the end to end layout, the Jinty was going through the points quite well at crawling speeds. The noise from your Manor is baffling to say the least. Nice work on the platform, making the templates and testing the coaches worked perfectly. Cheers, Paul.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™
  • Don't send Cookham Manor back to where she came from. When she runs at normal speed, the noise is hardly heard at all. I'd be devastated if she never ran on your railway again, please give her the benefit of the doubt. I love her with all my heart and soul. Glad to see Jimmy the Jinty and the Large Prairie Tank Engine running, but Cookham Manor is the one I love most of all. Glad your head op went well, I'm glad my appointment has been rearranged for Wed. 17th July, 1pm. I didn't fancy attending three days before my 42nd birthday, Sat. 6th July. Lots of love and kisses from me to Cookham Manor. You've no idea what seeing her run on your railway means to me.
  • Hi Robert First of all good news that the op went well and you are recovering nicely. Great work on the station it really works and an excellent idea with the buffer stop. Cheers Kev
  • @AdiPullen
    Hi Robert I hope you are well. Am glad you are on the mend and they some goods news Keep safe ARP
  • Blimey didnt realise you were due an operation, and what a relief nothing to worry about. Great job on platform, I would have done exactly the same on the edging. May I suggest matt varnishing the plaform all over to help prevent warping.
  • Robert, what about cutting an angle on the new piece platform to match the angle of the station platform? Martin. (Thailand)
  • @SheltonDCruz
    what camera do you use to shoot from the platform Robert?
  • Hi Robert, was it done under a local anesthetic? Looks ok though and hope it isn't too painful. Layout is coming along very well.
  • Robert you need some stay alives fitting to your trains mate
