Old Ford Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 have done the twin gates not over happy with :( , the gate are pretty square, posts are up right. so it must be the ground thats out of level, ??? oh well adds a bit of realism to them i suppose. plus i put a bit of a twist in one gate by accident. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 THANKS Sean that would be GREAT. :) :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Only a suggestion bu the wires would look better silver than black i think, Take multicore wire and strip off the plastic coating, Twist the remaining strands like the real thing is twisted, hey bongo wire, and it could actually be used to take 12v into sheds to light them up with led's!!!!

Mike R Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 is your layout on the floor I was thinking of building mine with storage space underneath, i havent got much time at present to start it but hope to later in the summer I had in mine having a gap in the centre to reach all parts of the farm like people who have railway scenery what do you think would it work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 mine is fixed to the loft floor. because of space.your idea sounds a very good one kentman. it would make it a lot more accessible than mine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
