That really looks the part.

Unless it also serves a power station...

The first large show I recall was in the Co-Op arts theatre on Broad St in Nottingham so I suspect given the location it may have been organised by the Gee Dee club.

Just spotted on eBay, four Athearn 4 bay hoppers cut and shut the make a pair of eight bay hoppers. They'll need some generous curves.

Thanks for posting the link to the article, sad news but the pictures give a flavour of why it's such a great subject for modelling.

I'd always assumed artistic licence by the filmmakers - steam locos going into the lake are more spectacular

Carl Arendt's micro site has a suggestion based on a grain depot in Valmont that you may find helpful https://www.carendt.com/micro-layout-design-gallery/standard-gauge-lines/

I've seen the ship one delivering to our local flower shop, the picture appears to be the SS Rotterdam which is currently preserved in Rotterdam (appropriately)

Jay Saunder's 'Manvers Street' will be at our spring show. It represents an ex-LNWR loco shed in the East of Nottingham in BR steam days.

All the best with the new job - Glad to see you back on here with the Interstate project.

No worries but thanks for the boost 😃

Seems a pretty fair price, nice engine.
