Arrived this morning. Cheers Darius

Storage sidings installed. Cheers Darius

I don’t think that the layout could withstand the collateral damage from the subsequent US/Israeli airstrike…

You’d be surprised how many people did… Cheers Darius

Very sorry to hear this news. Darius

Visiting A Class at Whiterock. Cheers Darius

Sad to hear this news. The corrugated double beets and UTA spoil wagons are truly works of art. Darius

The real house had one in the rear top left bedroom Cheers Darius

That whitewashed pebbledash wall was highly susceptible to frost and ice damage - hence the visible repair patches. I spent several weekends reluctantly wire brushing accumulated dirt and the damaged render away so my Dad could affect repairs. Cheers Darius

Or just close the curtains like the prototype… Cheers Darius

This is a model of the family home in Belfast that I made in the early 1980s. It’s been bubble wrapped for over 40 years and was in the loft(s) of my parents houses for many years. It’s just now been unwrapped. Its interesting to compare with the real house as it is now on Streetview. The plan is to separate the model house from its surrounding, repair/refurbish it and transplant it onto my Whiterock layout. Cheers Darius

A lone photographer above Whiterock Tunnel captures a UTA MED unit heading towards Belfast. Cheers Darius

Some floral work at the station. Used white flock, brush applied pva, and a home made stencil. Cheers Darius
