Long black shiny car... Restless (Mike page original)

I really need to get myself one or two of these kits for holmfirth

Very nice work Steve

A very weighty sample it is to. The chassis molding weighs enough on its own and is very clean and crisp. Then the running plate is cast too giving extra weight. Handy knowing one of the exhibition team.

Rockabilly radio.

Thanks Edwardian. Cant wait to install the turntable and turn the locos.

Lovely work Jim

Here are a few more shots First up is a low relief hotel I have made to go at the end of the line overlooking the turntable. Here is the turntable deck. Waiting for the well and then be fitted to the layout. This was a '45 cowans turntable fitted as Barton Wright didn't like locos running Tender/bunker first.

Here is my Pre grouping layout. I have some backdating to carry out ie rebuild the platform canopy right upto the tranship shed. Few other minor details The layout is a near scale model of Holmfirth and will be based between 1890-1920. A couple of tasters.

I'm on the look out for an E series vauxhall cresta or velox. Think they are the best looking car vauxhall ever made.

Nope! Ask Nile - He's worked it out. Well I did suspect it would be a furness loco but to my untrained eye the gcr f1 looked close.

Is it a gcr class 3 (Parker) lner F1?
