    Cheers. Good to see its confirmed. Do you know where its coming from? I want to try and avoid listing any duplicates if I can. If the I/d of 235 is accurate it may be the one at Little Dunham?

    I know what you mean as you dont want it to look like a scrap yard. I remember a while back you said you own a small field next to you, is that where you plan to store things out the way or use as a car park?

    At the moment it will be a carpark, we hope, but in time it might become a house for mike, and a small line. But it could become a storage area yes.

    Do you mind posting a pic when it arrives at Whitwell?
    Also back to your Palvan which has been confirmed as carrying no I/d. If you could find out where this came from I can probably tell you what it is.
    Cheers

    Right that palvan, It does have no ID, nothing on it what so ever. Because its a mix of what we beleave to be a coal wagon with that top shoved on it. Thats all we know.

    Thanks, Well I would think that next year it will be finished or at least looking like a box.
    At the moment I am building a 00 scale version of the station building. Alot difficult than you would think.
