Will I have to travel far to an appointment to the vet, Philip?

Hi Dreamtime,
I'm sure there is a veterinary practice in Burrow Hill, that might be called Tucker & Woof. |

Hi all,
Great clip of the "Hillman Imp" in this picture Philip. It was my first car at 17, but in blue.

I meant to say earlier that the road up to your crossing is looking realistically rough. Somebody will damage a tyre on that before long. The station is busy at the moment. Are there spring specials on, going somewhere interesting? |

Hi Helen,
The level crossing is a yard access road only. Those old enough to remember the entrance to Warwick Rd goods yard, will remember Scammel wagons struggling to climb over the entrance. |

Your display looks ace Philip Nowhere near the same league but I spent many hours jamming paste boards together to put up a set for my eldest Jonny when he was younger.

It was at the point where we realised it was 85% of the room that we needed to scale it back a bit! |

Hi all,
Friday night it is, beautiful right now, even though the weekend has weather warnings applied. My son & daughter in law, are banding in the middle of Coventry just now, bringing back so many memories of my delights doing similar.
The arrival of my little boy, put a stop to so much galavanting, which I suppose kindled my interest in my indoor at home hobby. Quite apart from earning our living & our faith commitment, music & railway modelling is a thread that ran throughout our lives here in our home.
It's existence now, connects me to so many folk who are no longer around. My Pam, my railway enthusiast friend Mick, who were central to our railway, mark one & two, before the concept of Hall Brooks was in existence. For years, it was Monday evenings at his home, whilst Friday evening's at ours.
So, wandering into the railway room for an hour this evening, twiddling a few controls, brings it all back, making it all so worthwhile. I loved the thrill of seeing what kit Mick had put together, to see it run, or how I would loved to have been able to show him my new town bridge that I completed a few years ago.
I do hope that you are enjoying whatever you are up to this Friday evening.
I will leave you with pictures of my town bridge.
