Last night another quick dig through Ian Locksmith's print collection revealed another photo of the Brewhouse Quay on the edge of Bath.

Judging by the angle, this one appears to have been taken from another canal boat and from the time around 1952 when the brewery had a major rebuild to get rid of the wartime damage - the barge to the left being used as a water-born skip.

 

Note the wharf side crane, I bet nobody at the time had the faintest idea that would be a plastic kit based in it in the future!

 

Our intrepid photographer also took a rather nice Kodachrome slide at the same time, you can see it here.

Chris,

Is that the latest Hornby Pug, and (whichever it is) how good at slow running is it ?

Exactly the question I was going to ask!

Either way, it looks excellent and really suits Brewhouse Quay, which, I have to say I am very impressed by. It is going to be another cracker of a layout Chris. Any plans to exhibit it when you have 'finished' it?

The pug runs very well - I had to open up the back to backs, this reducing waddle and slop
