The most recent photographs above show the newly installed station, which was short lived and never saw a moving train due to the time of year, that is, end of season and closing down for winter. I don't run trains in cold or wet weather, and rarely other times either, and with the current restrictions in place there will be no opportunity to have guests, so a good time to remove structures etc, give them a wash and health check, and put them into storage.....

A Forum member once pointed out that my railway had not enough 'clutter', well I can assure you it has now. The village and other structures, combined with passengers and seating, street furniture, quayside items and other equipment, took the whole of Thursday afternoon to remove and store.

I am pleased to report that very few need attention of any sort. The HIP structures are in excellent condition, despite the extremely hot weather at the beginning of the year, and very wet and windy conditions more recently. No distortion or separation of material or other damage. As previously reported, the resin structures have again lost paint, which can be easily replaced, a nice indoor activity this time of year!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
