First pics of new Engine Shed for Bantry-we have one already but this new build has open doors to enable locos

to run in.Should have thought of this before!

Still some way to go but the pics give some idea of progress.

Happy  Christmas and a Peaceful New Year to everyone from all at Bantry

Two new roof boards for new snack bar.

That's a  great tip for the lead flashing Paul

Will try that on the next building (probably Bantry engine  shed)

By the way the ex GER J15 is on loan from Stratford for photo purposes

Lovely pics David-everything looks just right.Pity about being frozen all day!

Nice photo-very atmospheric

Fantastic folks-thank you all so much

Will post pics when I have made posters

Great to receive all the feedback.

Will e-mail Bantry library to ask if they knew of any heavy child smokers in the 1950's!

Great help - thanks again for both replies-will start searching!

Thanks Broithe-its a start!

I agree -lovely layout

What brands of soft drinks and tobacco would have been displayed on hoardings and cafes in the 1950s

which would be relevant to County Cork?

Would they have been the same as the UK?

Thanks

Really nice modelling all round

Really looking like a great piece of modelling.

Superb modelling again-developing very nicely.

Many thanks .It is the first time I have tried to copy anything from Model Railway Journal- I enjoyed the challenge!

Latest building.

Now building another loco shed for Bantry-this time with open shed doors,also about to start Cattle Pens. Have also just finished building the Victory Snack Bar from MRJ No 257.

I know its not a Bandon building but I liked the look of this so much that I had to build it!.It will make a cameo appearance on Bantry. Hear are some pics.

its going to be another winner David

Top notch modelling all round

Signal cabin coming along nicely

Absolutely brilliant-a masterclass in detail

A coupe of extra photos of Bantry station building on a makeshift platform

Many thanks again for kind comments-as I am fairly new at scratch building it really helps!
