North Avenue Line
Re: North Avenue Line
Yes outside all year it's a celetex shell with ikea chopping boards as the roof and blocks and stones fixed on with mastic
Re: North Avenue Line
Looking good. The goods over the windows remind me of a building begin my in-laws' house - which happens to be something to do with the water industry, pumping or treatment, maybe both. It's streaked with rust like yours too...
Cheers,
Andrew.

Great to have you back Jim, you have got your work cut-out after the storms, I'm sorry to hear you suffered so much damage, your buildings had great character.

Re: North Avenue Line
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.

Re: North Avenue Line
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
Re: North Avenue Line
I'm still finding buildings and other things iv built in my shed that I completely forgot about. If got lots of little bits and bobs I can add to the line .

Re: North Avenue Line
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.

Re: North Avenue Line
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.

Re: North Avenue Line
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.
