Love the intro! How about tipping the sand on Bontofts into a customer's truck or wagon? A problem I have on Shadow Mtn is holding the tipper steady while it's dumped. Will be watching for your solution.

Thanks Tom. I have been searching for a suitable vehicle to tip into for the longest time. It has to be (a) not too big that it will overpower the scene, (b) not too small that you can tip a decent load into it and (c) reasonably priced. The holding apparatus for the tipper has already been sorted and tested. Watch this space!

My first "Toddler" was April 1980 - "Craigshire in Colour" was THE inspirational article, I still have it & collected as many of 'P.D.'s articles as I could, including that June 78 issue. I've never actually done much NG modelling but do enjoy watching & reading about it.
