Boat slipway & new figures

 This project came about by way of an abandoned On30 layout.  Originally a loco shed,  this building sat 3/4 built for years.  No idea what to do with it was forthcoming,  and I almost took it apart to save the material.  Until my eyes rested on an old photo of the Lifeboat station at Burnham-On-Sea,  right next to the S&D station.  Light flickered,  I thought it would make a fair representation of a boat slipway / workshop,  and besides,  why not ?  There was just enough room to add a boat ramp into the dock.   Just like Burnham,  it is rail connected,  to launch a boat on a small carrier wagon (it will be when I've built it !)




Just finished up a couple figures.  One is "Libby Bucket"  (pronounced bouquet),  actively peddling her flowers to anyone passing by the high street.  The other is little "Mable",  posting a letter to her Aunt,  hoping to get to visit her in London someday.
