Thanks all, your kind thoughts & comments are much appreciated.

 

For all its faults and the whinging & whining in the press, never forget what a good thing the NHS is!

That sounds unpleasant Simon, good to hear that you got through it well. Makes the problem of modelling a slate roof seem less important. Well for a while at least 🙂

Hi Simon

 

Sorry to her about your post-Covid problems, but glad you're now on the mend.  As you say, we should never forget what a good thing the NHS is.

Simon,

 

Sorry to hear of your health event! I hope you have a good recovery - keep taking the tablets, exercise regularly without overdoing it and eat/drink  sensibly.

 

Having suffered a nasty early bout of covid in November 2019 - about 3 months before it was recognised as being at large! - I then suffered a similar "Heart-attack" a week after I thought the worst was over. Happily, a Friday breakfast time call to 111 resulted in an Ambulance crew at the door 5 minutes later, who confirmed my diagnosis and decide to take me on a "Blues and Twos" ride from Milton Keynes to John Radcliffe in Oxford. Straight into the operating theatre and a stent fitted - switching off the pain - I was into the recovery room by mid-day.  I was released home on the Sunday p.m. - happy with the service.

 

Unfortunately the recognised Pandemic commenced 4 months later just as I was supposed to start post-cardiac physiotherapy - which was then cancelled.

 

I'm not as strong as I was, but I'm still here and enjoying the trains - of the "Deliberately Old-Fashioned 0 Gauge" variety.

 

I look forward to more from Porth Dinllaen before too long.

 

Regards

Chris H

Hi guys, sorry, been a bit quiet on here of late.  All well, anyway.

 

I'm currently building a Timbertracks Devon lasercut kit of Tetbury goods shed, which is quite big & chunky, and a nice bit of design & laser work - it’s going together well, with modifications of course.  What it does not have is a crane or cranes, which I’m sure the prototype certainly would have had.  
 

so a plea - if anyone has drawings or photos of the inside of Tetbury GS, or any other similar size/era, I’d be very grateful to see them

 

cheers

Simon

I have a few pictures of goods shed interiors in my collection but nothing from the area where Porth Dinllaen is located. However I think goods shed cranes were made by specialist manufacturers and similar patterns might be found all over the country.
