Another stunning build Peter, thanks for sharing.
Your finished addition to your track with the cars and activity portrayed is very good.

Absolutely fantastic, Peter. I went back looked through some of the immediate post war LeMans photos and you have captured the "look" perfectly. You realize if you keep this up I may be tempted to quit slots and go back to model railroading........nah not fast enough!

I'm guessing the appeal of model railroading is that there is no slot to detract from the realism. Beyond that, I think slots have everything railroading has and more. Of course you can always combine the two....

Thanks Lynne. The next shots should have my airfix K3. I think it will be a cracker. I'm also giving some thought to a new diorama. Not sure exactly what, but I think it will be of stone construction.

I'm waiting with bated breath for your warehouse. I need some new inspiration.

Everything has stalled on the warehouse. The commissioning client is in palliative care and not good. Even if I could get it finished he's not likely to have room for it any more.

I do plan to finish it. I might be able to use if for display when (if at this rate) I manage to vet my new business premises sorted.
