As a consequence, the lowest (bottom) door hinges need to have a much longer flap as shown by the nearest one (original, cast in 1901). These are suitable patterns for casting new hinges, originally made for the rebuild to NER2853, but will also be suitable for TR6.

The tradition of making shadows on the wall is always entertaining. Some of these are very easy, others not quite so much !

Looking out of the window, just in time to see that Jack Frost has been decorating the car roof.

Some of the larger patterns are to be found on as part of this wall-mounted display. The rectangular, grid-like one is actually for window frames, several of which can be seen in the background of other images.

There are a huge number of patterns stored in and around the iron foundry (this was just one of the racks). . Given that this is an inland foundry, I was trying to work out why they have patterns for several types of mooring fairleads / bollards ...

Display of mainly smaller patterns and castings, with some finished and painted examples on the board at the back.
