McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
A good friend of mine has his model railway in his loft - he builds everything from stations to fair grounds either from kits or scratch built all illuminated - its his winter pastime when its too wet for golf.

Cheers everyone, it will be on display in a diorama once we have all the rest of the LeMax from my late M I L.  Once it’s completed I’ll put another piccy up ( on the Misc/open site ) so that I don’t cop it in the neck from members on the 350/400 site.
I’m always fascinated by people who can make something from nothing, one of the best was an 86 year old chap who scratch built a 3foot long 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive and tender that was able to ferry a grown adult up and down a fifty yard line that he’d scratch built too.
So different from many of today’s youth who if they can’t buy it have no idea how to make it, way back when I was a kid I couldn’t afford it so making it was the only way. I’m sure there’s plenty of us here who were in the same boat.

Absolutely! Carts from old prams, sledges from scrap timber and some half round. Phones from tins and string. Stilts from old bed ends, those were the days.
