At the end of the year, I needed and urgent top-up of my modelling supplies. A trip to Tony's Trains was called for so I made an early start.
With a few minutes to kill before opening time, I wandered around the lock complex the shop is based in at Hillmorton and couldn't resist this scene. The boats are nice, but the crane is a bit special. I'm sure it would be a useful prototype for anyone needing some scale lifting gear.
