The engine shed is a terrible design which I am ashamed of... I have made it far too small. River Alde does not fit in as it is too long and River Butley does not fit in as the cab is too tall...
I looks nice but is not a finished design.
My apologies.
Also I am sure my teacher would notice me making more than one large engine shed...

Fair enough, but I do think you have a potential business when you do leave school.

Right, Snape Street Works have been very busy today getting alot of bits finished/ started/ worked on.
First I had to re-gauge my North Ings Farm stock which will be moving to the Sprat and Winkle in exchange for a few peices of rolling stock shortly. I am also sending the S and W an executive carriage which I had never finished, it was mainly to test staining things teak before I built the MOTY carriage. Its an IP lolypop farm guards wagon with many coffee stirrers added! It will soon be finished off and sent off as well.
There is also a tanker wagon but I can't find it, I'll have another look tomorrow! And yes, I know my shed is a mess but its what I like to call a "working mess"...
Then I got the crane wagon on its axles
And quickly built up a beer/ fizzy drinks can transporter cradle made up
I also built up this IP cattle wagon which will have working hinged doors when I'm finished with it.
I also made major progress with the Ratty carriages which I shall post under the relevant topic.
This is Spike:
Laalratty is not allowed to answer this one but who ever guesses correctly can have a discount voucher of 5 pounds on any Bond Brakes products!
What is Spike's job?

Nope, nothing to do with coffee stirrers! Interesting guess though.

Not sure weather Narrow Minded or Tom get that as they posted at the same time and were both so right yet slightly wrong. so that's two vouchers.
Yes, Spike Bends the Air pipes for the ends of rolling stocks.
Well done wasn't that fun?
