Hi All,

This is the first blog post thingy from me. Anway, some of you will know that I recently built a Smallbrook Studios kit of Rowland Emetts "Nellie". This kit has been one of the most enjoyable I have built and led me onto thinking about building a layout to run it on. Before I start commiting myself to the layout (which will be called Wylam's Wonkey Waggon Works) I thought I best start with a few buildings to see if my scratch building (and imagination) are up to it!

Obviously, Nellie needs a shed to live in. As such I have built a small loco shed. Its not quite finished, as there are some details to add, along with a weather vane of a witches and the name "Black Cat Workshop" or similar. I quite enjoyed making the "Beware of the Trains" sign.

Anyway, here are a couple of photos of the loco and the shed. More to follow once it is complete. Next on the build list is a water column, and the waggon works.

Many thanks

Andy
