Deerhouse

Just a few hours to lay the trees in the park and gold course.

Here is a shot that is dear to me and reminds me of my youth. Nowhere near the track really but I could not make Bishop Auckland and miss it out.











A view from another angle.

Coundon wip

Just started the area around Coundon station, Coundon is actually about a mile away from the Station. Not sure how much of Coundon I will model, it may be just some generic houses and maybe the church.

Anyway, Here is the shot of a placeholder station building and good shed. The Station Building is still there and even the platform is still there, however the bushes and trees have grown up since I last remember seeing it, Chickens roam the back garden to that house!

Looking forward to seeing this area develop.

Weekend back in Bishop

I was back in Bishop again this weekend, but did not do much information gathering, I was with the kids and it was really just a family thing. However I did go to Shildon Locomotion as usual and took this picture of the old information board.

It is a lovely thing, very solid! She this is all that is left!

Bridge - Bishops Bridge

I did say I would get round to finishing it Bob :)

BA 73

Just found this on Youtube.

Does not show a great deal but it is like someone reached inside my head and took images from my memory.
