Brian your O gauge layout looks very nice indeed. I like the night time shots and looking into the workshop and seeing vices and tools on the workbench.
Last time I rode on the train at Great Central Nottingham, (now the Nottingham Heritage Railway) we passed a field with an old Fordson tractor in the middle rusting away covered in weeds and brambles Pete.
Hello All, referring back to#23 picture of the Churchill tank. 1 / apparently, the Irish Army still had Churchill tanks in service until the 1970s ! Presumably only as training aids, which speaks well of their maintainability. 2 / quite some years ago, there was a picture of one of Cashmore's Scrap Yards in South Wales, in late 1968 or 1969, where former British Army Churchill Flail tanks (for de-mining), painted in Desert Sand were at a bottom of a pile of BR locomotive scrap. This would seem to imply that the British Army retained a lot of Churchill tanks post WW2 for use, or conversion to, REME, and related, specialist conversions. Regards, Echidna.
Your grouping of the workers around the model really bring it alive, it's almost as though you can hear them work and discuss issues of the day
