    A bund may not be necessary if the site is isolated from the drainage system, I used to work on a chemical site where this was the case. There could be underground containment to protect against spills contaminating the environment. You could also have a some sort of gauge or other indicator showing how full it is, either a analogue needle on a scale (like a petrol gauge in a car) or a lcd display showing the contents in litres or kgs etc. We used both.

    Hi Steve, I like this idea and it's a really good concept. You might be better off scratch building the whole building using the card model as patterns to get the proportions and angles right. I'm looking forward to seeing how you tackle this and the final product. Martin

    Just a comment but how do the passengers get onto the platform? Subway or bridge? Martin

    Very nice layout, the weathering of the locos and stock is very good. Martin

    This site has more information about the Sherman than you'd ever want to know. http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minutia/index.html If you would like alternative military vehicle models to the Sherman tank in 1/76 scale I can recommend these: http://www.milicast.com/shop/home.php?cat=65 Regards, Martin

    Hi, Very nice atmospheric layout. I also like the name, it fits with scrap yard theme being both the physical end of the (railway) line and the end of the scrap products life. Regards, Martin

    D Hewins Models and Hobbies closed at the beginning of this month following the death of Dave Hewins last year. Article from local paper here: http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/grimsby-model-and-hobby-shop-hewins-to-close-after-37-years/story-30221552-detail/story.html Spent many days there mostly buying wargaming and general modelling supplies.
