Hi. Trains and Transport was on Charnley Street Preston. my parents went to Preston most weekends, and I got dragged along so they could use the family railcard, It was always the first and last stop of the day! I also remember a train shop upstairs in a shop on King Street in Lancaster which is long gone (and the name escapes me). Likewise its two predecessors in Lancaster have long gone, firstly Cheltenham Bagnall Ltd, then Lancaster City Models. In Ulverston we had Keith Graytrex how kept making come backs, first a fire, then ill health. He sold it on, but the new owner did not last to long as I recall. And there was two shops in Barrow Maurice Roberts and another on which got knocked down to make way for the new shopping centre. My dad and I did trot off to London every now and then, and he always took me into W&H, but I think this shut down as well? This is bring back a few memories..... Kind regards Ian

Hi Kev, I trust your kepping well as I have not seen an update for a wee while? How is "Ethel the unready" getting on? And did your Ian ever get the transfers? If so, were they any good? Kind regards Ian

Hi Beast 66606, Sorry yes it was, I seem to have forgotton/missed that...... Thanks for the reminder Kind regards Ian

Hi Terry, Looking good. Strangely I thought of you (well your layout) as I drove home down Morecambe prom looking at the embankment with the houses on it. At the risk of starting all out war (tin hat and flack jacket on, running to the door!!!) in your last photo, should the signal on the up main be upper quadrants instead of lower quadrants? I am quite (well very) envious of the comit coaches. A stunning layout. Kind regards Ian

No problem... Hope they work out well for you Ian

Hi Kev, I've never used them befor, but http://www.precisionlabels.com/d25.html Not sure if they even the ones you are looking for but I hope this helps Kind regards Ian

Hi Dave, I've just found your thread quite by chance, I live just a few mile from Hest Bank, and looking at the photos of your layout capture the location really well. I be watching this one with interest. Kind regards Ian
