Then he realised I was watching him.
I guess I am now the signalman.

Nice.

'On Shed' D1057 Western Chieftain and Class 55 55023 9th Queen's Royal Lancers. (My father was in the 9th Lancers)
In the little village where I used to live, in North Tynedale, the local Hunt would arrive at our local Inn prior to going on the Hunt. Now it is only on New Years Day they arrive.

The local Hunt has arrived at 'The Coach and Horses'. (I shall have to have the Landlady out with a tray of drinks.)
Charlie Marston is still negotiating a price with a prospective buyer.

Class 37 37026 fresh out of the workshops with 'Glencairn' nameplate.

The building at the front has had two new extensions added. (Whether they remain we shall see.) One of the new fork lifts is outside A & Gs (Archbold and Glendinnings.)
The two red squirrels are back. They are outside the stables at Winterwood Manor.
As very little has been run recently. Class 55 55023 9th Queen's Royal Lancers gets a run.

I recognize the Triang station building in the foreground of the first photo. Yours has an extension on each side. I'm wondering if you added them yourself or if they're a different version to mine. Very good.

Yes IanAlan. It is the Triang station building. (I have three of them). I am loathe to 'throw anything out' as if I do I shall need it next week.
I am wondering how to change the look of the building, hence the extensions. I am not happy with it, so further modifications are required. A case of watch and see.

Looking at Charlie Marston's scrap yard, I can see that you have perfected the art of usefully incorporating 'leftovers'.

Those Triang station buildings can easily be detailed. An easy improvement is to wipe grey paint inbetween the bricks to represent cement. Is very easy to do.

That's a rough old pub! Is the beer any good? If you send me the landlady's address I'll happily give her a quote for some decorating work!
