A couple of recent views of Mutton as recorded by Norman Lockhart on one of his visits.

We see Adams Radial 30583 shuffling about with a five plank wagon. No doubt Driver Tommy Cooper and his Fireman Eric Sykes will avail themselves of a well earned cup of tea with Porter Ronnie Barker once they have finished.

The 'less is more' approach is what makes your modelling so inspiring. Great stuff.

Apologies if I'm not keeping up, but when is your next exhibition?

I really like your ground frame hut.

Thanks Peter.

It is a chopped about Bachmann ready to plant jobbie. Bottom and steps cut off, windows snipped, chimney added and then painted and weathered with powders.
