Well done Spams. I knew if I put it in the box, someone would head it in!

He shoots, he scores...

Back in December I shewed an interest in buying the shed from a widows estate being organised by Tony Wright. Well with one thing and another it's taken till today to get it to Tigley. It was built by Geoff Taylor. Only some minor surgery to my scenic's to get it to fit and will bed in nicely in the next few days. Mainly around the little hut and right hand edge needs attending. The tree will still be there afterwards.

Rob,

 

I'm pleased the loco shed fits in so well. Geoff Taylor's scratch-building skills are justifiably acknowledged, and, having spoken to the widow yesterday, she's delighted it's found a new home.

 

I've still got some other GWR Geoff Taylor-built buildings from the estate for sale, including a goods shed and station building. If anyone is interested, please look at the Wright Writes page mentioned in Robin's earlier post and send me a PM. 

 

Regards,

 

Tony.

As I said before, very nice, fits in perfectly.

[Mallard60022]

What do the Staff think of it Rob? I suggest that it looks like it has alwys been there; fits in a real treat matey.

SWMBO doesn't need to know does she. On a serious note click to enlarge that photo to see the roof vent louvres in close up, magnificent modelling. Rather like the purchase of my signals the price will soon be forgotten.

[Limpley Stoker]

The lovely shed seems to have put its roots down already. You might need to advise the driver to keep his elbows in while entering the shed- it looks as though there is prototypical clearance!

Hi

 

We’ll be at Railex too.

 

Could someone remind me of the book about trains to the south west on summer Saturdays? Operation something I seem to recall?

 

Thanks

Thanks for that.  I've just gone and spent 12 coin of the realm on a MSWJR book I had no idea I needed!

I must admit if I could get my layout looking half has good as yours I'd be a happy bunny, still my mojo is all systems go at the moment must be getting the Beast to work

so lets see what becomes of this year.

 

It looks like I need three new Manor chimneys it's fatal coming on this forum or reading a railway book.

 

A little bit pee'd off today a Castle is missing a name plate and had to order a new set from Jim PAH. 

 

Rob are you doing Drews Didcot tour or the Wycrail show ?.

New plates arrived today I hope none of these fall off, not a bad turn around for Jim these days.

At least you didn't have any unplanned smoke effects on you layout today - unlike on mine 

 

In the meantime something LMS designed and Swindon built, sits in the shade on a balmy April afternoon..
