Somewhere in the rampant lineside greenery on the MDLR there was a lineside bothy........



Ah! Is this it??



Yes! It is! It was built with Jigstones, and was the only building I actually completed. The concrete bits have survived well, but the door (made from car filler) has lost nearly all its paint...



There was small amount of frost damage.........



............ and the lintels have suffered from spalling.......



........... but the roof had HAD it! the tin was very rusty and fragile and the ply substrate was more-or-less non-existent.....



............... but with a lick of paint on the door, a new roof, from food tins, but this time held together with one of those "No More Nails" - type adhesives.......



.......... and the window boarded up (well, this is the noughties) I reckon it'll see service for a good few more years!

Excellent. lol

Good as new! I like it, very rustic!

Well, perhaps not QUITE as good as new, but it'll do for a good few more years!

Back to coach building this afternoon!

It's great how you've patched it up like a railway really would.

You've obviously not got it - the MDLR IS a real railway!!

yes whatever you say, oh look here come some kind doctors to help you

Do they have white coats and a straight jacket??

a straight jacket wont be needed there going to trank you

Nice pics, but at first I misread the title.

what did you think it said matt?

I like it Brian. Seeing the only building you completed with the moulds makes me feel a bit better at how my first attempt with them has come out!

As there are illustrated instructions of said building, I might have a go at that one myself... when I can find the time!

What word for a building looks simular to the word in the title?
