Same for the Victorian shops kit which shares many of the same mouldings. Didn’t know that, this was a scratch build for a client, who owned the house in Oxford and wanted a model of it for in his office at work. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The Hornby kits are much underrated, its a pity that they're not made any more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m proud of being Welsh, and Thomas said a lot of things for comic effect in pubs so people would buy him beer. He also wrote (and what he wrote mattered much more to him than what he said) ‘to be born Welsh is a privilege, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but a song in your heart’. Sentimental rubbish, but he was proud of his Welshness, while not averse to capitalising on it on American tours. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

The Johnster 18,216 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Everyone should be proud of where they come from. but no to the extent that they think people from elsewhere are inferior. I am very pleased when I hear of incomers to my country saying they like it, of course. 5 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Gravy Train 3,730 Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Something a bit different. no my layout but I built the station building which is a scaled down version of Bolton upper level, I constructed the extensive platform canopy roof and walkway to platforms from upper access building. the church in the background I re painted from a Kit. the signal box is a scratch built lnwr box, the roofline in the foreground is of a Freelance build hotel I made and over 20 years old now.
