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.

Christmas Greetings

From the Staff of the BBR, We Wish Everyone a Peaceful Christmas & New Year.

 

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.

Sunday Snaps + Village Market

The village market is slowly being developed,  some market stalls,  baskets of apples and potatoes have been made up.  Lots still to do.   Also played around with my photographic equipment & digital dark room. Great fun as always.  Hoping to get a lot more done on the railway this coming Winter season.

Sunday Service

Time has been at a premium of late,  but managed to run a few trains today.  It's Sunday,  so service was limited to just a short goods to Windrush Junction,  the object of which was to bring BBR Manning Wardle #1 Niki back to shed for the night, in preparation for the week ahead.
