Hi all,
A couple of telephone boxes.
These are card kits from a company called Toys we once had. They are for scalextrix which just so happens to be 1/32 scale, FIL is now on the hunt for suitable period scalextrix cars.
Regards
Richard Cooke

Hi All,
Latest project has taken a while.
A Liverpool Overhead Railway set
Its a Judith Edge OO kit in brass.
Its been the most fiddly and complicated kit I've built, the parts are tiny and a real test of my soldering skills. I've vowed to never build anything in OO again!
Parts for next project have already arrived and are on a completely different scale, requiring a 12" x 30" construction board!

Aaahhhh!
Recognised it instantly!
Agree about 00 though, all in the past now.

Wow, they do look very intricate, which suggests:
- You have immense patience
- You are highly skilled
- You have asbestos fingers
- You deserve a medal!

Very nice!
Although, didn't the "Dockers' Umbrella" have a really frequent service? So much so that it was the first non-Underground user of colour light signals in the UK, I believe... So you're going to have to make lots more...
