#D #postit - D is for “dismantled” railway! Just some photographs of a model railway we had some 20+ years ago when the boys were small. A "Christmas" train set was added to by "dads" collection of track, rolling stock, buildings etc to make a "populated" layout on an 8’ x4’ baseboard. The hills were a "primitive" build (newspaper, fine wire and Poly Filla) the ballasting, different colours of paint and hedges - pot scrubbers. Some of the ruins were 4mm MDF and the stonework engraved with a Dremel! A very amateur approach, but it worked and many hours were enjoyed despite this. This was "Glenwills" of the past. The photos were taken just before "Beeching" required its removal and have been reproduced from 6" x 4" photographs!
