Just would like to say I won't be replying to any more comments about which way the fencing should face.🙄 It's become a bit tiresome.RULE 1 Thanks for all your comments though. 🙂

Great work. Well done. Do not forget that your layout is your layout. You decide what goes where. There is no right or wrong on a model railway.

Yep you're very right. I do try to interact with people to take on board their ideas and thoughts, some people are very helpful, but as you say, at the end of the day it's my layout and I'm judge and jury in the end. Many thanks for watching atb Graham 😊👍

Another great video, a modellers licence give you complete control over everything on your layout. The postal project has been a real success, well done. Look forward to the next update 👌🏻

I was too late for the TPO but work with loads of ex TPO and Station staff in logistics for RM their stories tell how it wasn’t just a job it was a lifestyle, I’d have loved to have been among that generation. Your model and video bring to life the stories I’m told, I see the train now and it’s just lifeless. Offload 700 Yorks and off it goes not the ops at the regional stations of yesteryear. Keep up the good work

As anyone who has attempted to trespass would know, it is much harder to climb a fence with an overhang towards you than one sloping away which is surprisingly easy).

The concrete post fence with the angle went the way you wanted to stop people climbing over, so a yard or compound would have it facing outwards to stop people getting in, there were also angled brackets to attach to brick work to achive the same deterrent. I put up a fair few miles on fencing in my time. it was a time when you didn`t need to put signs up telling people they might hurt themselves climbing a fence there not supposed to be on. 🤣

Hi Graham, great stuff as usual. The fencing; it looks like you need a spray tin of super glue activator, cyanoacrylate accelerator, it instantly cures the superglue, ideal for modelling purposes, costs round £5 to £6 a tin, widely available, only the merest squirt needed! Too much and it forms into crystals. Regards Julian

Great looking Royal Mail depot Graham, I have blue (Bachmann) brute trolleys and was thinking of painting them in Royal Mail red and looking at yours they look better in red, not sure if they should be blue or red perhaps others could let me know. The ditch was a good idea and am sure once fully dry and loose grass removed will look the part. Have you tried (cheap) hair spray to hold tall grass in place. Many thanks for sharing it was a pleasure to watch, regards Barry. 👍🍺

The ex Royal Mail workers were telling me the Blue brutes should be in red if used for Mail. Hence me painting them red. I've got some yorks coming soon to make a variation into the 1990's. Thanks for all your imput Barry, cheers Graham 👍😊

Excellent and virtually spot on Graham. I remember the cages with us were blue or red and rusty lol As they were always lying around on the platform ends. Thankyou for the mention Graham, And Mark is spot on when it comes to RM. We 39:36 do speak now and again over YT. One thing you must try to get is a Bedford EA VAN, I believe thats the model name, We called them station wagons if they make them. This is what we drove to take the mail from the Mail centre (cardiff) to the station. The drainage was a great idea. 👍🏻

Fence should be facing out as its to stop people climbing over it. If it faced inwards you could climb over to get in the depo. Hope this helps

my guess is for the fence depends if you are stopping people getting in or out as its harder to climb one way , if you are stopping people from breaking in it points out if you are stopping people getting out like a prison or butlins it faces in, who knows
