With some ambient sounds of wind whistling through the trees here are some trees to put you into a tranquil and peaceful trance. Breath slowly and deeply... Stare in the pictures and..... Are you all calm now? I've been slowly working my way through this thread, and am (almost) lost for words. These few photos are wonderful though! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham T Posted March 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2021 What a wonderful layout! I've now caught up with the story of Little Muddle (although I confess I didn't read every single word...) and feel as if I know some of the characters involved. Superb modelling skills, and pretty good story telling as well. Greatly entertaining, thank you Kevin. I'm looking forward to seeing how the new development - well, develops! And I am sure this thread will be a great resource of ideas as I make a start on my first layout, having just got back into railway modelling after a very long gap. Thanks again! 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if the owner, for security, would want to shut up the business at night, but in the limited space doors might be a problem. Perhaps this might help- the garage in Limpley Stoke, short of space, has some early ‘ bifold’ doors., seen here in 1950, open, and 2019 ish Google Maps, closed. 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Just out of interest, this is the sign on the left hand door of the garage in the 1950 picture. They were printed on aluminium and were reflective when new. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a peculiar talent I have for spotting obscure rusty junk, added to the fact that when I was about ten, I found one of those signs nailed over the window of a derelict garage. As you may have guessed, it wasn't nailed on too well! 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Much squinting at the petrol pump and I think that it was dispensing Esso Extra. The pump is a calculator type and would only be a few years old. The item attached to the wall just to the right of the pump is a tyre pressure gauge from the days before garages held you to ransom to blow up a tyre. It's either a PCL or Laycock item, they were virtually identical. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
