Hi Tim,

It was good to catch up with you on Saturday, it was good to hear that you're well on the mend after your recent health issues.

I love atmospheric shots like this, they fire the imagination with curiosity to know where the tracks and alleyways go, what's around the next corner. Magic!

Ship-shape and Bristol fashion...

I have now put the remaining Callow Lane board up for scenic work and have even started gluing things down...

 

[Nick Rogers]

Nice to see you working on Callow Lane again, Tim.

Slipping in photos of the real thing again, Herr Kapitan??

Dear Buntie.

 

[Captain Kernow]

A couple of photos of recent, modest progress.

The abandoned hut is from the range of Mudmagnet Models and isn't fixed down yet, as there is still more painting and weathering to do.

The cottage backs aren't fixed permanently in place yet, either, as I need them on the bench for more detailing work in their back yards, but you can see the tin bath so kindly made for me by a former RMWeb member, many years ago.

The old caravan next to the chip shop is now fixed in place, but needs more overgrowth around it.

The metal fencing down the length of the 'cinder path' hasn't yet been attached, either.

I'll also have to do something about the obvious join in the brickwork in front of the (blue painted) Taffson Evans factory.

Some more images, taken a couple of days ago, showing the area around the cottages and the chip shop in a much more advanced state of near-completion.

The lineside factory is in it's planned location, but hasn't yet been fixed down.

There is normally the road overbridge, where the plywood blanking piece is, but I can't put both boards up together in my work room.
