Popular Post pete23 Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 Up to now I've hesitated to show my modelling attempts here. Although growing up in the steam era, I had little interest in railways until, living in Botswana in the '80s, I found that our nearest shopping centre, Mafeking, had a loco shed still 100% steam. The smells and sounds revived memories, and I started my modelling. An excercise in nostalgia really. Rather ancient now, survived two house moves, now in South Africa. Mostly pre internet, no model shops within reach. Here's some of my son's photos. 43 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Trev Mann and me measured the Cokes in pouring rain in Woodhams yard. I'm not sure how it worked out that Trev did the measuring in the downpour whilst I sat in the luxury of the GWR 2-8-2T cab (huge) taking the measurements. Hornby had photos to get the inside of the hopper correct so why they should make a mistake about the other features I have no idea.

I were born in a pit village ( there were still mines then ) in the West Riding, grew up in Liverpool, but spent all my summer holidays as a youngster there. I left England in 1968 - not related to the end of steam- and my model was an old bloke's bit of nostalgia. I knew nowt much about railways when I started it, so it's not particularly specific, just a run down freight shed on the edge of a mill town somewhere, maybe an ex LMS branch line? 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
