About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

Parkstone's Footbridge

It's been a few day's since i posted anything (sorry about that). There is of course a reason for this. I have been working on the footbridge for "Parkstone Goods". It's quite a structure, originally had a roof but it was blown away in a storm one night during the 1950s according to my cousin.

Thought i would post a couple of photo's of the real thing first, taken by my own good camera.


 So, to the model. so far this is the result, still lots to do tho. I wish i had made a door rather than use one i found in the "bits box"


 this was the worst part, doing the steps. I thought they would have been concrete but their not. They are brick riser's with tiles for the steps so will be cutting out lots of tiles. (must be mad)
 

 The step's, all 18 of them. Sort of glad i am only doing one side of the station.
