A creative repurposing Tony!

Thanks for sharing the photos and videos.

Are the buildings painted on the wall of your railway new....or did I just not notice them before.  Either way, its a great addition to your railway.

They have only just been displayed, the are ceramic tiles made by my wife.  Not only talented but has got taste in choosing husbands?

Take care.
