Three runs over the tarmac with the Transit and off to the next pothole. They, of course, had to have the hard hats, goggles and noisy yellow jackets!<br />Oddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406048947308249483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367600670436634226.post-58381838864758980362014-07-25T04:16:29.561-07:002014-07-25T04:16:29.561-07:00A very enjoyable ramble, Martin!

Grass and vegetation would be only slightly easier to model in "O" gauge and I am sure there is some philosophical point about this which escapes me just now...I, too have a bit of a "thing" about tarmac and rarely see it modelled convincingly. Hywel Thomas is one of the folk that does: http://iainrobinsonmodels.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/featured-modelmaker-hywel-thomas.html<br />When I lived in Aberdeenshire we had a pothole caused by farm vehicles and 40 tonners full of soil from city building sites, tipping illegally in a quarry up the road. The "council" came along one day and tipped some tarmac from a bag into the hole, then reversed their transit over said depression a few times! No Aveling roller for that job :-)Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.com
