There is now

There certainly is a Shed of the Year competition. This years event finished a few weeks back, and our esteemed leader has entered his before now too.

Guys, it is very kind to suggest that my shed could be in a competition especially after I looked at some of the winners. They are fantastic.
I will show mrs k some of the entries. I'll let you know if she cracks a smile.
Anyway I think I need some fire buckets?

Oh b####r, another image that I can't get right. (Sorted again

Cheers

Well I definitely do need fire buckets then, and a canopy by the looks.
So is that Tank's shed?

It is the coolest man-cave on the planet.

Want me to install an Aussie style heat-light-extractor unit, boss?

Yup

I don't think it can be, there isn't the slightest hint of toothpaste anywhere.

Not mine, a pal in Redcar owns this one.

kirky · October 05, 2014, 06:03:42 PM

Hi Malcolm
Thanks for posting that. I'm also in Redcar coincidently.
So what gauge is it? It looks like it's a put awayable railway.
I'm wondering if I might know this person, or if they might even be a member at our club?
Cheers

Malc · October 05, 2014, 10:43:08 PM

Hi Kirky,

It's a G gauge, and it's not a put away able setup. It's mounted on wooden posts concreted in with a top of decking boards. The track is laid on roofing felt. He now has the other end of the dog bone coming out of the left hand side of the shed. I know he's not a member of any club, although he does work as a guard on the NYMR, so you may know him.

kirky · October 05, 2014, 11:41:16 PM

Thanks again Malcolm. The reason I thought it were put away able is the little door on the extreme left doesn't seem to have much track coming out of it.
Safely say I don't know him, but we do have other garden railwayists at the club. Of course, he'd always be welcome.

Cheers
Kirky

That IS cool. Love the clock! So what's the little door on the left for? Looks like you can connect track to it
