Passing Cooksbridge timber yard whenever we went up to Town by train is a vivid memory from childhood, and I am pleased to say it is still trading (if never rail-connected to my knowledge).  We even walked out there from Lewes one day in the 1970's when it caught fire.  My commuting providing free drinks-stirrers every day, I had to have some loads of timber for my Goods Yard.  As storm Eunice prevented me from going to work on Friday, I put the 'forced holiday' to good use by finishing my model stacks of timber thus:

It is tea-break on the right for the Freightlifter operator and timber-yard loaders.  They have almost finished the 'thin planks', and their lorry can return to the depot.

The yard Foreman makes a note of the OAA's number, and the stacks of 'thick planks' await the end of the morning tea-break.  Sadly, I did not think to do the 'red ends' until the stacks of thin planks were all glued together.  If anyone knows why red is painted on the end of wood stacks, I would love to know.  Something I have pondered since childhood...  Thanks for taking the time to visit.
