Plans from an old copy of garden railways, and already is in 1:20.3 its for an old box car taken out of service and now used as a staff room, made as usual, for me, from coffee stirers lolly sticks and bass wood. all stuck around estate agent type advertising board.. still to finish the base, windows, roof and staining. more pictures to follow as i progress.

Making my own stir type sticks from a length of old fencing panel. First I cut on cross cut saw to veering length and then by g clamping a piece of 1" x 1/2" across band saw set to required width I can cut up as many as I like. Store in a small bucket and cut to length as needed. DSC00534.jpg DSC00533.jpg
