    Welcome Elm, wonderful country you live in. I was seconded to SA in 1994 to assist in your first free elections. Fantastic time and experience especially as I was out in the wilds 200 miles east of JoBurgh. Enjoy the site, try and add some photos with comment so we get to know you (they don’t have to be of you but location would be nice)

  • The Engine House at Landguard Fort Felixstowe, still in camouflage from WW2. Hopefully to be new home to Felixstowe Men's Shed.

    • Would make a fantastic men’s shed, certainly very secure! If it has a view similar to your 2nd photo it would definitely be one with a view. Hope it pans out for you and other users.

    • Shay locamotive, famous for logging with off centre boiler with vertical pistons driving a lay shaft to small bogie wheels. Allows it to climb steep gradients, real favourite of loggers and railroad modellers.

      • love to see a Shay negotiating bad tracks , hastily put down for logging , I remember it was said to travel without rails ove frozen lakes ! 

        • Geoff  I have seen pictures of a shay with wheels (looking like a car without tyres) running on  rail track of logs. They moved on so quickly fro  one location to another once cleared of timber. Thanks for comet..

        • Red Cloud Railroad, another view of my model railroad. Rock from home made latex moulds and Plaster of Paris. It is basically a Union Pacific Tribute layout

          • Further to the trains for the Children’s Hospice, the photo is of the delivery last year. When staff saw the trains (one loco and coach). They decided they were too good to be played with but would offer one for any family who sadly lost a child as a momento of their child’s stay at the Hospice.

            • These toys were made by Felixstowe Men’s Shed for the local Children’s Hospice. They said they were too good to play with but would ask a family who Lost a child if they would like to pick one as a keep sake of their child’s time there.

              • Hi one and all. Been a busy couple of days,

                Has anyone heard of or a members of a Men’s Shed? I’m chairman of Felixstowe Men’s Shed and we use the workshop at the local museum.
