I am very much looking forward to catching up with Alan, here is the last time we met up - at Jerry's excellent Warminster show in the summer of 2019. Alan doesn't know it yet, but Steve Harrod and I have come up with a great new product for his range(!) We intend to bring this historic artefact and get it scanned for posterity, I certainly want a couple for my new garden line....

On a personal note, I'm trying to decide on an outfit to get myself scanned in. Jerry 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is that the overall roof is effectively peeled open on the entrance side allowing the viewer to peer in. The concept is innovative, the visual impact simply stunning and Larkrail will be the first time the model will have been seen in public, as a work in progress, before its full debut at the York show next Easter. Jerry. What a great concept, look forward to seeing this one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good character forming stuff mon brave - and look what a character you turned out to be!

There were a couple sat on top of a pole opposite that Indian restauraunt in Aylesbury last time I did railex. You know... the Indian opposite the duck pond. Funnily enough I do need some lights for my 1960's level crossing. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted June 3, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Those coming from Limpley Stoke via Short Wood will be pleased to know that not only will the damsons be ripe but these chaps are busy reinstating the bridge over the Titfield - Mallingford line* in good time for the show, so there is no need to cross the line by the not so nearest bridge.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted June 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2022 I thought about being a railwayman but in the end opted for a gardener, pottering on the allotment down by Bath Junction with a ringside view of all the comings and goings sounds like heaven to me.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm not sure I should get a 4mm version of myself, there are some 4mm figures on my layouts already, who I have badly wronged. Several loco drivers, who had parts of their lower legs amputated, just to fit on my 4mm footplates. Almost everyone has had a hole drilled up their leg and a brass spigot shoved in. None of this work was done under any kind of anaesthetic. It's hard to imagine that they won't still hold a bit of a grudge. 1 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
