The latest on Llanmynach's new goods fleet

[Tigger]

First thought "Damn (or perhaps Dam) - someone's beaten me to it"  Second thought "Oh good, there's less incentive now to go and build one!"

[Tigger]

Now that might be a better place - good idea.

No they do not have a Blondin on the dam layout. They do have a travelling crane that moves along the top of the dam though.
Pete Wilson did make a fully working Blondin on his 008 slate quarry layout, but it required a skilled and experienced operator

[Hugh Norwood]

I suppose on a Welsh layout, you wouldn't have a Blondon but rather a Blodwyn?   ;)

(Two Burns Night suppers down, two to go... I shall be maxed out on haggis an Scotch)

I knew I'd seen a blondin somewhere.  I should have guessed it would be Pete!  Now I know it's been done properly, it's a good excuse to avoid building one for Mynydd-yn-Bwlch!

Incidentally, in preparation for a livery change of the Hornby cattle I've bought, my colleague spotted me printing off photos of Jersey, Gurnsey, Welsh Black and Hereford cattle!  I did try to justify myself by explaining to him that I

Memo to self - when one is in a hole it is best not to keep digging! :laugh:

More importantly, don't try to dig your way out sideways!  "Someone take the shovel away from that man before he gets hurt!" ;D

I once bought a set of whitemetal castings for Highland cattle from Highland Models. But thay ceased trading at least 15 years ago. I used several of them and I gave a few to Tom.

You did indeed,  ;D They are going to have a home on Isle Ornsay in the cattle dock when I get to that point.  I have some Langley ones to put into vehicles.  They come with separate heads so they can be put in different poses.
