J39 Boiler Face

I tried to find images for the cab interior but non could I find, So into my plastic off cut box and made what I think it would look like. Mind you it is still better than looking at the rear end of a motor in the cab?

Down at The Mill

The blacksmith gives one of the mills horses some attention.
From a different viewpoint.

One of the local characters is seen out with his dog.
All quiet round this side.
Towards the wheel house.
A nice view of the mill.
Back in place on the layout.

Warrington update plus

After searching Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/49572843@N00/7916183328/in/photolist-d4wvvs-cyWNSW-cyWYNA-bDqCPB I decided to improve the looks of my 'Warrington'

Below is a Triang Utility/luggage van. I fitted modern bogies and scale wheels..Not bad for about £5 total and a little weathering.....Result!

After building my lightweight lift off section I remembered building a 36" radius point, and endeavored to create  a fiddle/siding which actually works very well....Result!
 Starting to look like a J94 Heritage layout.
 J36 Gem white metal kit on a Hornby J52 chassis (well butchered) Chipped and tender pickups...runs like a dream...
 Langley Models 19RB stored in the field just for now...
Just a long shot.

The Boars Head.

The landlord sees the revelers safely off the premises, and a man gets a telling off for mooning the landlord...
Looks like they had a good time?

J94 Number 13
