So where do you get the lovely signs that I assume are waterproof for outside?

 

[mike]

I printed the wayward girls sign, the rest are bought from traders at shows , or via evilbay, yes some will fade, some rust , but that's life , I try to acquire them when I'm skint , as they tend to be a few pounds ..

I have some metal ones and they are fine but I wasn't thinking of printing your own. Smart!

Yes, and Jack lived at the back of it. The Stones and one that was a bit edgy as the place referred to did exist and was a rehab for drug users.

It's time, to test something

After our 1st holiday on our own, in 9 years .
We returned to a glourise British summer..
Yes it's moist out .
The HSB 2 6 2,which I acquired recently, is as factory, it has the original silver valve gear, I prefer the gun metal version, so I got hold of my *triggers broom* original 2 6 2, which had received the newer gunmetal valve gear , after it had worn out it's own .
Bit of faffing about, but now the original 2 6 2, has silver valve gear(as it original had) and the HSB version now has the gun metal ones ..and I added a driver while I was at it.

Started on a bridge replacement, the bridge nearest the shed, is the original one, but it's losing ballast at a appalling amount .I'm going to leave the wood in place , but add a cast iron face to it

 

[mike]

We got a test fit, and it's in Prima , needs green rattle cans

 

[mike]

Bit of a land grab while Jenny ponders her gin shack
Covered the grid ,and it extends the village area , got the bridge painted

Late night shot and a bit of sun..

 

[mike]

As I was in the area , I dropped of one of the orange V52s with it's new owner, as I had acquired less Potts one, it was originally Trevor, from Blackpools, but when he sadly died ,less bought it..after less died, I bought it as it's got history for me ...
Today I made the second side of the bridge

 

[mike]

In-between the showers , ballast was added , track was cleaned,by the rain then the track cleaning loco..which was checked over after it had cleaned the track .removed the cleaning wheels and check for the nylon string around the axles ..and found a tiny bit .removed and cleaned.,loco put away...
