As 2021 draws to an end I’ve been doing some of those fiddly little jobs that I kind of hope always get lost into the scene but I know they are there. 
Starting with a pushbike from the Southwark Bridge Models Kit. The kit is for a late 19th century bike so I modernised it a little. I think these may be reduced from 7mm scale model as some of the parts are at the very limit of what will etch and gives you a decent idea of what it must be like to try and solder a spiders web together!
I’ve finished off the signal wires using MSE posts and easyline.
This meant I could finally get the barrow crossing finished too.
Below are a few evening shots of various comings and goings.
I was born in Brum and travelled to Wolverhampton a lot to visit grandparents in the 1950s. You have captured the atmosphere remarkably well at Brettell Road. Same for New Street and Moor Street. Thank you for bringing back memories. I recall the glowing embers from smelting works in the Black Country on evening journeys back to Snow Hill. Do you have space for a glowing tip? What next from the Midlands? Cadbury or Austin? Yours is outstanding work and the impression you create is far beyond just the technical. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us.
The Cadbury system is quite intriguing I have to admit
