This weekend I should start dismantling my railway, ready to start again next year with something new.
Over the years I have built a few bigger buildings, mainly to give height & impact to the table top railway. They are very simply constructed and with minimal detail, but they are big - the sheds in the following shots are at least a metre long. It would be a shame to throw them away or dismantle them, if anyone can make use of one or more of them.
So, I offer them here to anyone willing to come and pick them up from Preston.
If anyone is interested, let me know. I'm happy to set one or two aside but I would like to get rid by the end of the year.
First off, the battle weary signal box. The brick pillar is a separate piece, but the box and tower are built as one L shaped assembly. Plenty of clearance over two tracks - that's KT's K27 rumbling underneath.
Ok, starting at the front, I have referred to the white building as the scabby shed, but it has survived over 12 years and has been honoured with a coat of paint. Currently its a two road engine shed, which has defied all attempts to crash through the blank rear wall.
Next, the stone effect train shed, mainly made out of plastic sheet - currently single track, but would run to two. The blind wall is just painted wood.
The funicular is staying.
The large building at the back was supposed to be a power station. Its in two parts, and is probably only 20cm deep - sort of 'mid-relief'. Its a very basic plastic box.
The canopy and clock tower on the right are also up for grabs - the canopy is about 120cm long and is supported by two small buildings. The clock tower just sits on top and has defied a suitable means of holding it down.
Finally, the little loco servicing area - not much to it, but its a shame to chuck it if it appeals to anyone.
