I think we need yellow card and red card buttons as well as a groan......I like a Shay as much as the next person.....but there are limits....mind you those Fenland gradients can be quite challenging...
-
Exactly what I thought.....good opportunity for a race with Mavis......
-
Yeah - I reckon they swap at shows - no one person can talk for that long....

Glad to be of service...

That was his evil twin brother....

Oh yes the pill box.....I resisted on Lockdown Fen but it would look good...small stretches of unnecessary brick wall also add to the overall picture.

I've certainly followed Chris's W&U related projects as part of the research for this layout

and a bit of dry-brushing a la Roger Nicholls (for them that know him and his prolific layout building activities...)
