One door closes and another opens

A house move is good to get the creative juices flowing.
After 14 years of my LGB 1, I had done all I could in variations and additions, so a new canvas is a whole new build !!

Thanks for all the nice comments lads, appreciated!!

Hopefully on the move by the end of the month, what a stretched out exercise. Anyway, railway ready and waiting....

A 'normal' move can try the patience, yours during the lockdown must be exasperating and I wish you a safe & sane changeover.
When we moved a couple of years ago, I was somewhat embarrassed as the van was unloaded to find that over half of the boxes were railway related! My wife's eyes were narrowing at the number of times I directed a box to the garage - reserved solely as the temporary railway store...

Rossal Beach stop a few minutes walk away and free travel for locals with the NOW card.

Yup used to be for everyone till they had a change if heart as they wanted all the oldies to use the competing bus service. Now I gather (in normal times) the Trams are quite lightly loaded North of the main drag of Blackpool even on Fleetwood Market Day which was always a day for wedged Trams.

Yes Jon, the crowds thin out and then vanish at Cleveleys. Fleetwood market is now on Tuesday and Friday, guess where Gail's off to this afters - in the car!

Thanks for all the thumbs up etc and the good luck messages lads. Next pics will be from the new Winton which will be in the new year, mmmmmmm................

 

[FrenchChuffed]

we will all look forwards to it

Well, here we are! Three months in and the new Winton is running, mainly C&S this time with 2 moguls and 1 Rio Grande but the big difference is, it's in the loft. We had the loft boarded for storage because we are in a small bungalow and then suggested to Gail that a baseboard would be good,here we are, not the best pics................
