Working on a 4mm branch line station. Looked ok until I photographed it and can now see all the defects and tweaks that need doing.

I got asked at the Guildex O gauge show if I could do our 7mm portakabin in 4mm. Just goes to show modellers from all scales go to gauge specific shows. Anyway, Yes I said. So after a swift financial transaction I had the task when I got home to do the doing.
Its not turned out too bad.

For the OO gauge modellers I’ve got a cassette system that is based around settrack.

Yes, I’ve already been asked and have a bit of RTR em track I think. All gauges will be available eventually including narrow gauge and the new TT/3mm gauge.

A 7mm modern era shed on the bench today. 
I like the concrete buffers this shed had.

The side detail. In reality this would have been metal sheets but in the model it is an overlay to a solid board as we need the structural strength.

The modern shed is cut and will be collected by my customer tomorrow. I'm still looking at this to see if I can find space to have one for myself. 
We are moving to a new workshop this weekend with more space and a little trade counter/shop. No1 Four Wheel Drive, Rougham Ind Estate, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP30 9ND if you’re passing. Call ahead to make sure we are available though. Exciting times.
In the meantime I was sent this picture of one of our 7mm scale LNWR warehouses going through the paint shop. The white lettering was laser marked to help with the painting, Its really starting too look good now. Additional brick embellishments are to be added along the top.

Congratulations, I remember a conversation at Love Lane years ago when you first started out and questioned the viability of the venture, I think I said something like quality always sells, pleased to see your expanding and your hard efforts paying off

Just a few metres from my driveway is two large pits from an unfortunate accident with a couple of these after the war.
