Instead of scrapping the layout and building a new one I decided to re-do areas, the first is the loco sheds, they are nearly finished but here's a bench for inside, the vice is cut from 3mm. square section styrene rod.

Phil that really is lovely - I can almost see "Record" cast into the side of the vice!!

Add a grumpy old bloke on a boiler suit and job done.

Dunno about lovely, bl@@dy amazing  :doublethumb

I couldn't do anything anywhere near that small.

Hats off to you Phil  :thumbs :thumbs :thumbs


Ed

Thanks guys, it was basically a whittling job with a craft knife, when it's installed in the shed, there will be a grumpy old bloke added  :lol:

Wow, I've only just saw this Phil. Absolutely splendid whittling, well done to you and that grumpy bloke in the boiler suit!

I'm so glad that you're not scrapping Pen Y Bryn  :)

Bill

I bet you could clamp something in that vice and work on it.

Thanks Bill, appreciated :)Peter, I'll try that but if the worm brakes I'll be coming to you for a replacement vice :)

Luffley! Did you see my leg-vice in my 'Bothy' post? Not quite so modern as yours…

Excellent job on the workbench, I hope it will be visible in the building…. too good to be hidden away.

It's a lovely summers day all year round, so the bench is outside.

Ah!  Excellent - worthy of viewing!
Michael

It will be close to the front so visible

Couldn't help adding some more to it.

Where's the big 'ammer?

Behind my thumb :)

Doing hundred mile an hour and coming to the inevitable conclusion?

Brilliant Phil. :thumbs

Stunning Phil……………………..dont understand how I missed all this superb modelling. I am so glad you decided against scrapping Pen Y Bryn.  :lol:

Best wishes

John

Thanks all.

John, you're right, scrapping it was not a good idea as a new layout with all the work would become a chore and not fun!

Brilliant! Huzzah…
