This one does blow me away... As I'm profoundly ignorant on railway matters I go with the flow if what is obviously Top Work, but I'm as familiar with domestic architecture as anyone; the line-side buildings that evoke time, place and circumstances, that give you that little nostalgic heart-tug; this is wonder-full.

Hi Tony,

many thanks for your apreciation, its very encouraging, I have so to say, I have fell in love with Architecture, wherever I go I'm allways gazing upwards at buildings, looking at the style, fancy ornamental details etc and you get to a point were you want to build everything you see.

for me as doing it as a day/night job :-) I am at the mercy of the client in as much as what he wants me to build and for the most part its usually intresting stuff, the Carlisle building you point out is one of a batch of 3, I will post up more as time allows.

many thanks for your kind comments

Peter A L.

Excellent - I can almost hear the block bells ringing and the crash of levers being pulled - unless you've actually done that!

Hi Stu,

Hi Lee,

cheers,

the stone is Slaters stone embossed sheets but the archways are brick ( southeastern Finecast ).

The stone on the inside I believe are stone slabs were it is cut flat as was shown on a photograph.

cheers

Peter
