    Fantastic scene Steve and as usual so very well constructed. I only ever saw the Woodhead electrics working a couple of times and that was from the other side of the reservoir, the last time I saw the line at Woodhead everything was under demolition... very sad but your diorama brings it back to life again.:tophat::tophat::tophat::tophat::thumbup:

    cheers Paul

    IMG_7246.jpeg IMG_7248.jpeg The show display progresses further along, the magazine covers will be framed and a totem added below the book shelf, Rain stopped work on Pontycwm so I made up this little kit from railway laser lines, it will live under the steps on Canton

    As part of the gauge O guilds new modular exhibition layout I’m going to do a 12’ section of the Dawlish sea wall. Hopefully improving on my last example 180625 dawlish dsc_2188.jpeg
    Mermaid cove.
    the plan is that the guild supply the fiddle yard and curved sections with differ t groups either supplying one 24’ scenic section or two groups each supplying a 12’ section

    IMG-2315.jpeg Following on from Grimsby & we are now arrive at a very impressive piece of GCR architecture.
    Kirton Lindsey tunnel mouth in Lincolnshire
    Designed by Richard Ellis of Monks Gate Models it will now come to me to be built in a similar fashion to the recently completed Box Tunnel.
    Like Grimsby it will be set in 1923 and Jon Fitness has been commissioned to build a pair of GCR signals for it.
    As I’m moving home shortly modelling services will be delayed a little so we are looking at spring time next year for completion.
    A big thanks to Mathew Thompson for commissioning a second build from me.
