Handy little drinks caddy I made for outdoor drinks on warm summer evenings.

I just finished a pair of tressels. With a 2'×4' board on top, they should make a useful workspace.

My restoration of this round Victorian side table ( about 1890, I think) is finally finished. I had to make 6 curved apron pieces that fit under the top and 6 support brackets for the lower stand. I had them originally but must have thrown them away accidentally (oops).

My new N-scale railway, (railroad) layout is progressing. I have several Metcalf models in preparation, ready to be installed.

KATO N gauge tram layout at local show.

No electronics. Trams bridge gaps in the track either side of the station to supply temporary power to the station section, which is normally un-powered. The temporary power supply to the station section allows the stationary tram to leave the station.

This is a Scalescenes freebee. OO gauge industrial building. (Low profile, front only). Printed onto 4 colour pages and glued onto card.

These are good fun to build, planning to build the "boxfile" models next.
