All you need now is an alcohol-fired locomotive called "Britney Spears"... I suppose to be accurate it should be convertible between alcohol and coke... just a matter of changing grates I suppose. Easy enough because such a locomotive wouldn't have very much covering its undercarriage.

Thanks, folks, I'm here all week. Try the fish!

A new warehouse has been put up behind the engine shed

The thugs have gotten to it already

Thanks to greg there are a few fences around the village

Looks great Matt, you've certainly wasted no time getting that done and out in the garden!

(I'm still waiting for my new buildings

)
Just one question - when's the sign going on?

Well nearly

Very nice - but I think I preferred "Knobs & Knockers - Bespoke Door Furishings!

They may end up with a shop instead of a warehouse

That's looking really smart now Matt - the little details going in are bringing the scenes to life!

You really are giving Greg a run for his money now with your model village..

Looks great, the station looks fantastic especially now the little details are shooting up around it.
Oh & whats going on the engine shed, have they taken a block before putting that table across the line??

Sir haydn · Post by **Sir haydn** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 4:05 pm

I knew that was coming

The mice have barricaded themselves in the shed

One scene nearly complete, Just need to take the grit up and lay some tarmac in the spring

Did a little tidying at the opposite station

The Westwood and Loscoe Light Railways 'The Earl' came in for a smokebox re-paint and chuffering.

Seen here Ex-works

Wow!

That's all looking mighty fine Matt, excellent stuff! Your plan with the two shops has really worked out well and The Earl is looking ace!
(Note to self, must move that pressure gauge!

)

The last picture with the station is very nice. I like the ballasting and it looks like the railway really fits into the garden in that spot. I hope I can make my track look like that.

Beautiful.

Just a question, did you scratch build the water tower? And who's the D class wagon made by?
Thanks

Sir haydn · Post by **Sir haydn** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 6:36 pm

The water tower is scratch built from Jigstones that the late Calvin Green gave me.

The D class is an AnDel one an lives outside!
