Hi Roger emailed me some photos of his projects and workshop which he would like to share with you all. I was going to start a new thread for him but I think it`ll look odd in my name (unless one of the site moderaters can open it in his name?) so I`ll post it up here and he can always add more detail later:
-------------------------------
Some photos of the workshop showing the Boxford 9 x 18 lathe, Bridgeport mill, super piece of kit, every modeller should have one. Mill drill, Lathe 60cm x 1mt. Two pillar drills. The start of the Adams Radial 415 class 4-4-2 tank loco in 7.1/4 gauge. In the middle of all that is my Little Samson 4" Traction engine which has taken me 4 years to build. The kit of castings for this engine is available from Edward George
www.littlesamson.co.uk Please mention me if you contact him, smashing chap and very helpful. Two photos of my workshop which is 40ft x 30ft outside. The walls are 2ft 6" thick so my work area is 24ft square allowing for insulation. I could fill it all but need room for the freezer, gardening machinery and all the worthless crap that one accumulates but is too good to throw away.
--------------------------------------------
Just to also mention, as he said it was OK to, Roger owns a gite which he rents out which looks a lovely property.... my wife and I are considering going in Summer if we can work out expenses to get there, as his accomodation prices are excellent!! Of course that workshop is a very tempting lure as well
I hope that is OK Roger? - I`m sure now the pictures are up you can type what you want to about them! Although I think your travelling for a few days so maybe we won`t hear anything for a bit.
All the best
Chris
