        Early shots of my On 30 railway in the roof. It has completely changed over the years.
        It was too low, for an old bloke to work on !
        I like laying track, if it works !
                            Thi has all changed !
           This bit is still there !
          I enjoy working in the roof, when the weather is not too good !
