Wow - do you have a carpenter on tap ?  That was quick - and certainly worth the effort - it looks much, much better now.   :thumbs

What did you do - flip the door or a complete rebuild ?

A grand job. You're not the only one by a long shot. I often see it on the tv. With metal doors they go the other way because they are usually welded, or if not, bolted/screwed. Fast work changing it.  :)

Cheers Pete.

I only changed two of the four doors, the ones where the braces are visible, by the way, the reason the window in the shed is orange is, I have the lights on :)

The grimy window's good too. The light brings it to life.

Thanks guys, I'm making the fence posts at the moment to run along the track by the side of the sheds, they're the concrete type and tapered towards the top, these are typical around my area and they still stand here and there.

The lights look great - they really add some atmosphere.  Even the backscene looks like night is falling.  It is all such a lovely model and great photography - a real inspiration  Thank you for sharing

That's really stunning Phil - such a lot to take in.

What are the figures - Modelu ?  Their poses are so good - love the chap with the raincoat folded over his arm chatting on the bench.

Something else worthy of a comment in the fall pipe - how did you make that ?  It looks as if it has been made just like the real thing with the upper pipe slotted inside it's lower neighbour - usually, they're just a straight rod, even often without the fixing brackets.  Amazing work and hard to believe it's a model - even in cruel close-up !!!   :pathead :pathead

Thanks all.

The figures are Modelu, the downpipe I think is Ratio which has the connectors, but the brackets, usually over scale are strips of paper.

Very Nice Phil! The engine shed has real character with that stone work and the weathering of the stone, was the roof covered in some turf to create the moss look?
