He's there if you know where to look...

I checked the images and videos on your blog site, Hugh, but was unable to locate Mr. Dibbler. Any hints?

[Hugh Norwood]

He's camera-shy....
I was going to suggest you see it in the flesh, but I see that might be a bit difficult where you are! I'll have a look through my other photos and if he's not there I'll take some new ones!

A little update:
Some very nice plates have arrived from Narrow Planet:


and, courtesy of a fellow modeller, a couple of figures:

(Who will do for an Omnian missionary priest)
and

(who is apparently a Star Wars figure... )

I can see you have an "Evadne" --- so surely it must be "Hilda" & not "Hilta" ?

Alas, Garry, not Hinge and Bracket, but Hilta Goatfounder and Evadne Cake.
The majority of locos are named after Discworld witches (with one or two notable exceptions...)


If I found a fat nun, then I could have Mr Pin and Mr Tulip aka "The Firm"...

CMOT Dibbler makes an appearance...

[Graeme Dunbar]

Very good additions to the populace! Do you have a man with a white beard and a large black fedora lurking anywhere? He often makes a cameo appearance.

[Jeff Schumaker]

Many thanks, Hugh.

Well, after some soul-searching, and some encouragement from the DW community, I have purchased and installed street lighting - not something that should be done this late in a layout's existence, I feel (having to work with it placed upside down on the floor did my knees no good). They are Gaugemaster LMS "oil" lamps... This is a photo of one I mocked up to see what it looked like.

I managed to get the lamps installed (and wired up) in time for the Rainford show/AGM....

Very good!

Watch out for Jadis driving a Hansom cab attempting to break off one of the lamplighter's bars. Oops, wrong story!

I will have to cross the Seven to see the layout in October
