    Well it’s been a few weeks since my last visit to Ralph’s and what a transformation to the shade house station area. Just hope the pictures do Ralph’s fine work some justice. Great job Ralph a lot of hard work and long hours have gone into this “little” area :tophat::thumbs:

    :hismiley: Gary, Andy, and Kim, thank you for the great comments.

    Gary, The Station Buildings and associated buildings are Resin and White metal, ( All grey in colour when purchased ) and water cranes are Kits also Resin and White metal
    bought through Skytrex, The footbridge is a Laser cut plastic Kit from (York Modelmaking) which can be built from a inside bridge dimension of Minimum 161mm to a Maximum inside dimension of 460mm white in colour when bought. the kit can be built to SIX different designs. Hope this is helpful Gary.

    Well out of lockdown and nearly 3 months since we have run some trains , we had a last minute catchup / running session today at Ralph’s.
    Great to get out and run some trains, so sit back grab some pop corn, turn the volume up and I hope you enjoy a few of our (Ralph, Paul, your’s truly) trains running on a great winters day.



    :cheers: Kim

    Nice to see 80136!

    I helped put the chimney and some of the smoke box back together on that on its first restoration back in 1996/97.
