Barnaby Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It's the detail that makes it come alive, the random 45gall drums, the few scattered chairs, the very realistic brickwork on the track end buildings, sigh I must try harder. Great work Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pleasure Steve... somewhere in a book is a lovely b&w photo taken at Old Oak of some of these frames and numbers leaning against the wall of the Stores building, with a selection of WR headboards too, in less than pristine condition.
