Oh what a naughty idea B

Not a lot of people know that. B

Not 2mm FS for sure B

Thank you Jerry Making a wooden chassis now Regards Brian

That would be great Jerry. We plan to have a grand opening of the canal later this year with the diorama on display. I'll send you a pic later.

Anyone got an old clapped out N scale pannier tank or prairie tank that I could use on the (non working) Stover Canal diorama I am making? Donor will be mentioned in dispatches. Baron

Underdressed Barons rule. B

I'm bringing this, just the loco. B

You shudda let me know, visitors always welcome. B

Just love the way the sun glints off the rails in Sentinel Street at this time of day. B

HSB Photo taken before hoist was built. Ian Aprons rule OK. B

Just messing about

My father was signalman here. We kids used to ride our bikes backward and forwards over the bridge. I remember the contactors for the bridges motors had to be given several good thumps to get things going. B

Thanks Steve, but I think it would take me longer to do one of these than to do the rest of the layout. B.

Photoshop rules OK

Hello Steve, Yes I'm happiest with the industrial types too. No need to be tied down to any particular railway company or region, even P76 Engineering is only vaguely located in some unspecified industrial heartland. So the tram (EFE shown here but hopefully something better later, any ideas?) also is of unidentified heritage. I am thinking of including it in the scheme because I so enjoyed the tram on QUAI:87 trundling backwards and forwards perversely and at random across the 90º crossings whilst shunting movements had to be fitted around it. Same I hope in Sentinel street where it will bisect no less than five crossings of the industrial tracks. If it turns out to be too much of a nuisance I'll lower it's pan. Thank you for your interest, Baron.

Dammit. Although the railway transporter bridge at Warrington beckons.

Managed to get this shot of the Sentinel crane loco trundling down Sentinel street this morning. B.

I've sorta always felt that a bit of baseboard without track on it is a waste of space. I like trackwork so am inclined to binge on it when I can. B

It's coming along. The pic on the wall is me flying my 737 simulator - another pastime of mine. B
