A new 45t crane has arrived.Glencairn

It looks like a Fleischmann model. Am I right ?

That industrial estate is spot on. Nice work

Thanks for your comments everyone. Much appreciated.

It is a Kleinbahn (of Austria) make.

I did have a UK style 75t crane, but was 'a pain to run'. Therefore I sold it.
I wanted something more simpler and did look at the Lima model.
Not liking the Lima model I began looking elsewhere.

Whilst looking for a couple of little HO gauge coaches I stumbled upon Kleinbahn. A make I had not heard of before.
Liking the look of their 45t crane, a purchase was made. It runs well and looks okay (imo) with the OO gauge Engineers coach and wagons.

Looks like some big changes are coming.

Changes are always been made, especially scenery. I am getting more confident in 'having a go' at making things. (Not up to your standard though, manna.) The new industrial unit was rather daunting at first. It took me three weeks to even begin; then I was surprised how easy it came together.

I visited my local model shop and acquired a new car (amongst other items )

Whilst Jimmy Marston is still 'fixing' the wheel, to the right is a new Hillman Imp

Charlie Marston must have sold an engine maybe and bought his wife Agnes the car.

As I am on about cars, my younger granddaughter bought me this old timer'. It now has pride of place at Roseville Station.

Another purchase. A Walls Ice Cream Van. Waiting at Roseville Station level crossing as Class 25 25218 passes with a York to Leeds Central local train.

Not done any modelling on the layout for a little while. Just spent time running trains. Keeping it fun.

Amazing how cars can date a layout. As soon as you see a Hillman Imp, you think late 60's, early 70's, don't see many of those cars anymore.

Can't help wondering if the 25's driver has stopped to buy an ice-cream?

You mean I have something right?

Now that would have been something to see.

I bought an old Imp in 1976, it was quite old but not sure on it’s exact year.

[Dad-1]

The local car sales have been doing well.

Hillman Imp, I remember taking some driving lessons in one. Very early in their
period, must have been early 1960's, '62, or 3 ?
The clutch wouldn't take driving school treatment so I finished my lessons in a
Ford 105E Anglia. Passed my test in the Anglia in 1963.

MMmmm the heading Diesels ??? The locos may have been, but not the cars in
those days !! I should remember it well I was 21 in May '63 and having a great
time.

The Hillman Imp had a production run from 1963 until 1976. That will suit me.
