Having recently tried to do this for Dave Rowe's masterpieces, the trail often goes cold and you get the sinking feeling that another model is in a skip. Having said that, these are big things to store and look after - we can't preserve everything.

I understand that after Don's death it was all sold off, no-one at the Society seemed to know of its whereabouts. I'm hoping something might come to light after we've featured it!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-29727718406799124702018-02-17T22:35:38.867+00:002018-02-17T22:35:38.867+00:00Interesting find phil.

Small scale railroading, as opposed to super sized LGB, is possible outside.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832494758302844944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-47973850976521922022018-02-17T07:57:53.734+00:002018-02-17T07:57:53.734+00:00Having Just watched Michael Portillo visiting a Pe...Having Just watched Michael Portillo visiting a Pendonesque version of the Southern Pacific through the Rockies, this is cruder but eminently warmer- one man (with some support), some vision, and ingenuity. It used to feature on model railway documentaries in the 80s' and 90s'. I wonder if the schoolboys helping run it are still modelling?<br />Duncan Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233792711462813228noreply@blogger.com
