Yes as Peter said, good to see you back Jim. Shame about the damage to your railway, but glad to hear your back into it again. I guess starting again you will have a clean slate for your ideas. Looking forward to progress.

I cut the water works in harf to make 2 low relief buildings and I also managed to reuse the old brewery a building I built quite a while ago .it's held up well with no rot it's stonework was basa wood coverd in pva on a thick celetx .i have one space left on my railway for another building. And I might get away with building something quite big near the lighthouse I'm thinking of building a castle

Plenty going on there Jim, lots of structures and loads of clutter along the line, great atmosphere.
So pleased you have managed to salvage your buildings, they will be fine with a little TLC.

Reckon you better get at least the lower panels of that fence painted before you put much more in front of it Ha Ha!!
Good to see you were able to salvage so many buildings Jim.

Nice to see the line back up and running ! It's got a unique atmosphere, with a hint of Compton Down...A castle would certainly finish it off in style!

All the best,

Andrew.

Very atmospheric, Jim. One day I'll get around to adding lighting to my railway - been on the to-do list for years 🙄😏
