Now that Iv tidied up my messy workshop I thought Id post some pics of it up

Iv got all the modelling essentials and because my dads a plumber I have access to a load of expensive and really usefull tools.


from a different angle


Im trying to keep my area nice and tidy which is ironic because Im keeping my workshop tidier than my bedroom      




Iv gotten the essential literiture, glues and oils for model making  




and a TV plus DVD player combination is very usefull when your holding 2 parts together for 10 minutes while the glue drys    


and a white/black boards is very usefull for writing little bits of info down which your likley to forget


and I sometimes make models as well as watching TV in here    


thats mine lets see yours.....

Is it cold in there with those bare brick walls?

Here's mine, more of a storage shed really as I only
get time to make repairs at the moment but I have
built quite a few models in there before!




The workbench is unusually clean in this shot!
I can tell you it doesn't look like this right now.............

Oh my giddy aunt (quoted from Patrick Troughton in Doctor who) Minimans! I know that things in America are bigger but this really takes the biscuit tin (not meant to be offensive in any way).

A- I wish I had a massive storage area like that &
B- I wish I had that many locos & rolling stock

That collection must of cost a fortune

AJKH£&T*&!^&^^!&)_*$&)(y£  JEEEEESE now that's a train room!!!!

This is mine...



Woops, I don't do G scale!        


Here's my train storage in the "office" end of the MHLR workshop...



...Although I've changed it around a bit to fit my Regner in too, so the Fowlers still at the top, then 2 shelves of coaches, then the bottom shelf has Edrig, Willi and Bertie on.

The rest of my wagons etc are kept in plastic boxes on the floor, on the frame and rafter of the shed, and the diesels are kept behind the wall you see in the picture on shelves.

I don't have any pics of the workshop bit, but you'll be surprised how tidy I keep it    - then I don't keep loosing little parts in amougst the stuff!

you lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, rich so & so. I feel so left out on this forum. Everybody's got wonderful steam engines & rolling stock when all I've got is a locolines Kerr Stuart & a Brandbright GS6 with no wheels or couplings. When I go to a garden railway, I have to borrow stock & feel like an idiot inside when all I see is really expensive locomotives & rolling stock. I feel like a screw in a box of nails, steak in a desert. It's all thanks to not having a job & not being able to order things because my Dad takes months to do so
