Fear not Carl, the frame tents x2 are still available for visitors and open days The shed is nominally 3m x 3m but internal 2.7 x 2.7 approx 8 sq M still enough room for twin tracks at R1 and R2 Further progress this week with some great 1:1 scale "faux tuiles" plastic sheeting I think they stole the idea from railway modellers I shall be able to get on tomorrow with the fun stuff - installing track and control systems, etc! | |

| BTW I did modify the kit, by putting a 1 metre overhang at the front to provide protection for our weather averse railway friends like Van Not that it ever gets too hot, or rains in the Charente! | |

That sounds like a garden railway paradise! I see on www.lacharente.com it's still 19 degrees and sunny over there! The shed turned out great! | |

| We can now run trains in and out through the hatch Two concentric storage loops at R1 and R2 Shelves to get all the bits and pieces in one place - beats taking them out in an old pram.. Control panel and wiring for lights, power and watermill all in one place in the dry Room for a few posters and other bling Storage shelves And a view out onto the railway | |
