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!

Looks great Matt, you've certainly wasted no time getting that done and out in the garden! :D (I'm still waiting for my new buildings :cry: )
Just one question - when's the sign going on? ;)

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

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?? ;)

Wow! :shock:

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!

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
James
