Kevin  -  A cat or dog.

Cats  I bought from West Hill Wagon Works.  They are a small Company here in the UK  specialising in modern railway infrastructure.   Too modern for me in many areas, but they do some things that span the years.   

Two cats on the shed roof.

 

 

More cats and/or dogs please.

Show me more small locos.

 

This one was a donation from one of my father's co-workers, but it never ran well, unable to pull even its own shadow...

However, I didn't want to get completely rid of it, so parked it behind the Lowbanks car shop...perhaps a project for the employees in their spare time.

Wayne

Please show us another derelict car or locomotive, or perhaps a structure that's seen better days.

 

This one deserves a big fat compliment, Wayne.  Using a retired loco to display a slice of railyard life.  Paticularly special is your choice of parts to depict a scrap job in slow progress, like the stuff laying in the cart and on the ground.  A very special scene to admire because it tells a sad story.  -Rob

Your kind words are much appreciated, Rob, and yes, it was modelled to represent a sad story.

More bridges please.

Here's one that's a bridge over a bridge, and if I ever get off my duff and finish the scenery here, both bridges will be over "water", too...

I like bridges, how about showing us a few more, please.

Greg, nice work. This is the kind of share that goes great in Weekend Photo Fun. Please come by this weekend and share this update, and a bit more of a description, in that thread.
