Happy Christmas everyone - I had hoped to have something brand new to show off by now but life, work and family very inconveniently got in the way. Hopefully it's not too far away now though. In the meantime, here's the Brookhall Mill Christmas video from a few years back. Thanks for all the great content here, as well as the lively and informative debates and the constant encouragement and inspiration. And thanks for putting up with my insane stories and cringeworthy puns. Thanks to admins too for keeping us all in check. Looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings - personally I will be CHUFFED if a certain thing is announced....... Hope to see loads of photos tomorrow of all the goodies you all found under your trees!! 1882069754_MerryChristmas.mp4.1a85a0eeea88760c9d967fffabf17bc5.mp4

Lots of liveries for that one! Still drooling over the Hunslets here..........

Insane!!!!! Cannot wait for mine - well done IRM

What a brute!!! Magnificent work once again Darius.

Such an excellent space with amazing potential - fingers crossed it will see trains running in the near future.

Another masterpiece in the making Alan! Hopefully she will make a visit to Brookhall Mill in the near future!

Lovely!! Shaping up well - love the deep cutting to the left.

I'll send him a Facebook message Leslie!

Superb!

Nope. Definitely not. No time and definitely no space either.

Looking good! Hope the ankle has fully healed!

Brilliant!!!!!

Alan will the brake shoes be blue suede?

You're all wrong. It's a Ballymena & Larne iron ore wagon. The first in a new line (ha!) of narrow gauge items.

Offaly funny that! Time to dispense with the coffee puns - Alan to echo what @Galteemore said above, The Stone Yard is quite a masterpiece in....well.......everything!!!

Brilliant!!!

I bet the rest of the forum members are frothing in anger

Fantastic as always JB!

The technique has bean used I think

I was reading somewhere that the best type of paint to use on coffee stirrers is a flat white?

Your creations always create a stir Alan

That's the way Alan works!!

If he doesn't fix it he'll get the sack.

He was in the workshop adjusting a North Pole motor.

Santa-stic!
