An interesting read

rather than start another thread i put this in here

Went to Liverpool last week saw this docked so while i was having my plate of`scouse` i googled it .

i was a bit shocked what i read

I pruned my model railway back sold some more kit and after my trip to Coningsby earlier this year the spark was there again so i repurposed some railway stuff ...........see engine sheds

some aircraft i was given some i repaired and some were an early Christmas prezzy

All the best , wishing you a speedy recovery ,take care

I could call this re purposing kit ,but a had a light bulb moment . ok here goes .

My model railway has been downsized i went to RAF Coningsby as you know a few month back , so the bit of space i got where my TMD !!! used to be is going to be an aviation museum ( a small one... )

The church and surroudings are awesome

When i was considering changing scales or calling it a day i looked at what i had rolling stock building etc and decided to have a massive prune .
Had 36 locos at one stage now i`ve got 12 , just enough building etc to make it still interesting .

Now before the "greed crisis" i got the Mallard and ...

Done a bit more work on the refurb, some stuff i did sat in the garden in the sun .

i enlisted grandkids to paint some wooden kebab skewers ,i use them as edging

its the same shape layout as before just a bit smaller

bought some 3d printed fencing off ebay very nice it is ,

These photos were taken around 1964/5 (i was 4/5} i was sorting through my portable hard drive and found myself just staring at them .

i can only remember the `04` going past my house and the way i remember it ,is a `dirty black tube` :D

Nostalgia ain`t what it used to be
