It's not often you get the chance to photograph serious windmill repair, so when I did recenlty, I couldn't resist.
Chesterton Windmill, has been without its sails for a couple of years, since it was discovered they were rotten. Walking around it is a popular passtime, and the council don't want lumps of wood falling on anyone's head.
All this takes time, no matter what the locals posting on Facebook think, but the work has now been completed by a specialist firm. There are some nice in-progress shots here. The finished job can be seen here.
Now, if you use an Airfix windmill kit, this scene would be quite eye-catching on a layout, and if you can find a suitable vehicle, not too difficult to do.
