Hi Dave,

Yes, the freedom to stretch reality is one of the great facets of railway modelling. I must say, Bowton's Yard has come on a long way, scenically, since I last saw it. The background Globe Cottons mill looks particularly effective.

Keep up the good work.

Hope the Manchester show goes all right for you.

Dave.

Like the pictures of the Mill.

Great backgrond building.

Thanks for those comments gents; thanks too to those who ticked " Like" &  "Craftsmanship/clever".

Globe Cotton mill is actually a scale model of Globe Worsted Mill at Slaithwaite and those of you who ever visited ExpoEM North when it was held in that village have seen the original. Modeller's licence has the model in red brick rather than the York stone of the real building. 'Bowton's Yard' is supposed to be on the Lancashire/ Cheshire border close to Dukinfield and Stalybridge and the cotton mills in that part of the world were pretty well all in brick rather than stone but I have for many years considered Globe Worsted to be a lovely building.

good modelling to you,

Dave
