An early Christmas present. I’ve been discharged from the hospital fracture clinic.  My shoulder is well advanced in healing, and free moving (though not totally back to normal.) The doctor said I’m doing very well, and keep on with the physio and exercises. Only phone them if the arm drops off…..  So I think it’s back to modelling, but no heavy lifting.

In celebration, here is a totally random selection of photographs….

Try modelling this!  Dorking Lime Works locomotive.

This early east European electric loco is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen, but I’d buy a model immediately!

This is real.  But why?

Camberwell in 1952.  All my children were born just up the road in Kings College Hospital!

And New Cross that same year.

A snowy Lehigh Valley Transit in 1950.

King’s Cross Top Shed in 1928.  Cleanest steam shed I’ve ever seen….

A West Country class passes through Folkstone.

People are bad at shunting and parking!

Finally, how rivet counting was born….
