Looks like “Cowans Sheldon ?Co. Limited Carlisle” and a date.

To me, that’s all a layout should be, excellent work. Hope to see more of the same, please.

I did do a Munster Simms tank wagon a while ago, working off a makers photo published in a HMRS journal, for the 1920s 30s era:

You can get them as a card kit from Alphagraphix (this one’s 7mm scale) and do your own chassis.

Very good job, weathering on my rolling stock I just brush on Humbrol Matt Black but thinned right down with white spirit.

A fine model, the outside frames make it really special. The lining is really neatly done. I fancy the green will disappear once it’s weathered, but that’s just how it was.

get Into hospital with dehydration, and they’ll give you that much saline drip you can hear the waves lapping inside you. Hope you’re stable now, and able to hold the fort with the family. best wishes, Bob.

One thing I found with the kits for something like a 4-4-0, is the number of small parts there are. You can get a few sheets of etched bits and you’ll find it can run into hundreds of small pieces. You can get an accurate model, but it can sorely try your patience working on things like brake work, which can become very fiddly. The smaller loco you pick the better, for an easy start experience.

So, I found a decent tomato, but when I started to put the wheels on it, the greengrocer come out and started hitting me… what’s next then, lads?

So, your next move would be having the RH extension able to access the goods shed, and do a bit of shunting? I do really like the look of this. It’s a layout, not a diorama.

Shouldn’t the snowman have a sash round him when he’s wearing a hat like that? p.s. the flickering fire effect is very effective.

That is a terrific model layout, really lovely.

Two widths of plastikard strip, built up side by side alternate on a flat surface in a long length, and slightly tilted. Then when it’s hardened off, rub the front face and the back face with a file, and clean the grooves out. Then cut lengths off as needed.
