Hi Callum, Great news that your catching up with things on here.

Will you be starting a new thread, and will you be changing its name?

I really hope you enjoy it, and look forward to meeting you when you collect it.

 

And just a shot from the entrance this morning.

Hi Shaun, Good to hear from you matey, I'm really getting excited now, and the planning has taken another major leap forward yesterday, but more of the on the New Thread once its started. As for structures, there probably will be only one, but we will see how things develop over the coming weeks / Months / Years. seconds/minutes/hours.

I just need Seven Mills to go now, so I can get my Grandson around to build the main Baseboards and then LET THE FUN BEGIN.

 

I think that is what you meant to say.

Yes, Mike did tell me on Tuesday but wasn't sure it was common knowledge yet.

 

Glad you enjoyed it.

Well LJ, Fred & Jed arrived in a safe condition, mind you LJ was complaining that he wasn't allowed to sit up front with the Royal Mail driver. Fred & Jed was just happy to stretch their legs but as of yet they refuse to unfold their arms. As you can see they have already started to make friends with Sid the shunter.....
