Good evening Tony, hello this week from mainly sunny Surrey. Well the boss and my daughter are watching sewing bee, so I was trawling and found you. The platforms are looking great, the wooden bit on the end just adds that bit of extra character. Interesting the way you add your texture to both the wood and bricks they look so real. The cattle wagon looks great, it's a good buy. I think Jarrow road is going to be a brilliant addition to the railway network in the north east. I'm off to Addlestone Model Centre tomorrow, a great little shop which I've not visited since before the first lockdown. Hope your both well see you next week. Eddy xx

I noticed the large X, so I take it you’re having a helicopter pad at Jarrow Road. 😂 I also see that you follow the adage; measure once and cut twice. 😂 Never mind, Tony, mistakes are part of life and how we all learn. Good progress and a good job on the platforms. Nice horse box; handy for Gosforth Park Races. Looking forwards to the next instalment. Do you have a Loading Gauge, namely, a diagram of all the clearances required for platforms, overbridges, station canopies, etc? If not, I'll send one to you in an email. Have a good weekend.
