Someone ring the Vet

Quick,  someone ring Dr. Thomas,  Josie is limping !   I've been very fortunate to work in the Veterinarian field for 20 + years,  and after viewing the most enjoyable James Herriot series, I figured it was time that Boxer Bay high street should have a Veterinarian Surgery.  The Doctors listed I feel very privileged and lucky to get to work for everyday.  It's a profession that really is like no other.  Life would be so dull without our four (or 3 !) legged friends,  at least for me.

Market Day in Boxer Bay

 The village market scene is slowly coming to life in the High Street of Boxer Bay.  A couple more figures painted and added.  Looks as though Constable Jeffries is keeping a close eye on things.  A couple hand carts have been made up from Petite Properties.  One featuring MiniArt 1/35 scale vegetable crates !  Getting to be time to paint and weather the cobblestone street.  All for now.

A lonely Peckett + JJ

 After what seems a long break from the hobby (long for me anyway),  I've stoked up the fire and am ready to get going on the second half of the layout.   Here's a photo of the next loco project,  the excellent Minerva Models Peckett.   I plan on making some modifications to the cab,  add crew,  number and of course weathering.   Full steam ahead.


And just for kicks,  or is that hooves ?   A photo of "JJ",  & coachman "Robby",  a local Boxer Bay delivery merchant.
