Whilst at the Bilton Model Show I was really taken with the tramway models on display and so thought that I could give it a go.

I needed a change from 1/700 ships.

The first venture would be a small street scene, in 1/76 scale. Something to display a tram against, when the model arrives.

Kingsway models do some free downloads in card and I decided to give one a go.

My printer has run out of coloured ink and so, I thought that I could scratch build something similar out of card.

My efforts so far.

Hand laid brick courses and slates from smallll bits of thin card.

The next chapter begins     

Looks like its going to be another great thread.

Nice work, shades of Beamish?

Chimney stacks.

Now that's a thought, just think of all the era's he could do in one diorama.......

Don't give him ideas or it will soon be as BIG as Beamish     

This is simply mine and a Paper/ printed model from Kingsway Models.

Just the Funeral Directors as we are all getting on a bit!

You sound like one of my dads comments -- he used to meet up with some pals for a drink and bite to eat in a pub, said it was great as "help the aged" was on one side and a "funeral directors" on the other. As he said everything to hand, as well as food and drink, what more could you ask for     

A massive street scene to come. You are cracking on with this.

The Wesleyan Chapel in progress.
