Never been brave enough to post here before but here are two shots of Pott Row loco depot taken in the late 1940s early 50s. Apologies for the quality but it was a long time ago!

There were no trains at this time which was not a common occurrence. I believe I do have some showing locos being serviced if of interest.

you should write it up...and offer it to BRM for an article.....they would rip your hand off IMO.

Hi. Here's  a break-down train not going to the scene of an emergency, in the late summer of 1938. It is hauled by a J27 in a reasonably clean condition. i think that I've got the lamp code correct!

The crane is scratchbuilt.

Arboretum Police :triniti: are beside themselves trying to track down the vandals....... :jester: ...............

The vandals should be easy to spot as they are either 20 feet tall or are carrying 15 foot long paintbrushes to reach the top (or bottom) of the wall.

scratchbuilt.......well I have to say that is a fine bit of engineering.....while you were doing it were you able to add movement as well?

googling graffiti on tall buildings.....will show how adventurous artists can be....some take your breath away......

and sometimes they accidentally kill them selves in the process

Hi, Jaz. It was built in 2002, and I was able to get the crane to swivel manually along with the lifting of the Jib. It will travel along the track without derailing - added some lead under the chassis of the crane. Many thanks for your interest.

 

All the best,

Cool......not only looks good but can be posed too. A marvellous piece of work. Very envious.
