Meanwhile -- The Postman is on his round with a couple of dogs.




A new pathway is being built .



Until I get new fencing work on, the area where the houses were (North Road) a school is to be built.

Hope you are getting better, Alex.

Lovely looking loco.

Memories of living in a stone built cottage (near Dewsbury) in the 1960s that had an outside toilet come back. :lol: My Gran still had an outside toilet in the early 1970s Many a story could be told. (I must write a book :idea: ) One did not dawdle; especially the 'Winter of 1963'. :lol: Glencairn

Agnes Marston is much happier. She has a garden; albeit much smaller than before. IMG_3298.JPG Here she is, with her dog, going to the shops. IMG_3299.JPG An overall view of the new street.

He certainly does, and looking at this latest set of pictures makes me think that its about time that I built another one of my own.

Look forward to seeing it.

Thanks for your comments, Itsonlyme and Stainsacre. Here is some more pictures of the Scrap Yard in its final form (I think). :) Staff busy in the yard -- IMG_3294.JPG IMG_3295.JPG Charlie Marston is talking to a prospective buyer. IMG_3296.JPG Young Jimmy Marston is still fixing the wheel on the wa...

I was going to ask if I could join the 'Small Room Society', but at 11ft by 8ft my room appears rather large to others. I think I should join 'The Smallest Bedroom In The House Society'.

Your layout is looking good though, Itsonlyme.

Charlie Marston's house has also been moved. Agnes Marston is a bit so-so at the move. She has lost her garden. IMG_3292.JPG Where the scrap yard and actual engine shed was is now going to be a street. The buildings are temporarily placed down. As can be seen a lot of work still to be done. IMG_3289...

What I thought would take a couple of days changing things round has become a major (to me) rebuild of the layout. Here are a few pictures. Three views of Charlie Marston's yard. The new entrance by rail. IMG_3291.JPG An overall view of the site. IMG_3287.JPG The streamlined 4.6.0 languishing in the...

What a load of old scrap, in the best sense of the word. :D It looks brilliant and definatly more than a head nod to our railway heritage. Something not often seen on a model layout. End2end Thanks for your comments End2end. A scrap yard is something I always wanted on my layouts. Can I ask glencai...

I do like Charlies little yard, very nice 8) Thanks for your comments, Dave. Much appreciated. Not often that you find an A4 in a scrapyard - the preservationists will be after that one :P It's not an A4, BrightonMan. It is a 4.6.0; one of only two to be streamlined. Number 2859 is preserved at Lla...

Hi Pierre19. Welcome on board.

Looking good, Dublo. Very atmospheric.

Another thing I forgot to bring up is that I still haven’t come up with a good name for the layout after all this time. Thinking of good names is for some reason hard for me, but I should come up with something. Perhaps a play-on of one of the existing locations in the south-western region like Buc...
