Stand by
Almost Tim. To explain further........
Y
'y' breaks the rule that Welsh is phonetic. As a single syllable word, y is like ‘uh’, on the last syllable of a multisyllabic word it’s an ‘ee’, and anywhere else it’s like the unstressed, indeterminate noise of the final e in ‘garden’ or ‘letter’. Ysbyty (hospital) is the perfect example.
Dd
a buzzy 'th' sound as in 'this'. Bit like an angry bee with a lisp.
Ô
short as in ‘hot’, not round as in ‘hotel’ The ^ lengthens the sound.
L
A 'luh as in lava.
So, we end up with
Uh Tho.....l

Well your plan to not rush onwards like a sheep encountering a whiff of mint sauce appears to be working then
Contemplation time doing other things is part of enjoying it as you return to it once enthused rather than rushing for deadlines.

Well, a little bit of tinkering today has seen the MDF deck added to the fiddly area and a new front board cut and added to the front of the scenic board.
A bit of green stuff has also been plonked down to see how things might look and it seems to look okay, as it happens.
I'll probably cut the roof etc this week and then finish the basic presentation off before removing it all to lay the track, electrics etc.
I think it does look quite promising though.

Morning Will,
Good to see you.
The greenery is a mixture. The taller green stuff is, as you say, MBR. The shorter stuff is branded as being from AK Interactive but is very similar, if not identical to MBR products. I picked it up on Saturday from my local Firestorm Games.
Oh and......um........Cough.......Rye Sands......cough............
