The Wills SS23 Bicycle shed with Bicycles is a lovely kit, and one that has been around since the dawn of time (OK, 1980s), but I'm not sure how many I've actually seen built up on layouts.
I wonder how many people, like me, see it as a source for rather nicely moulded bikes to decorate the layout?
At a quid each, they don't seem cheap, but I can't think of a more economic way to add this vital detail to a layout. Well, unless you want to bend them up out of wire that is - and I don't.
Selly Oak has gained a couple tucked away in the timber yard and I think they look great. A few dotted around are a quick and easy addition which give that all important clutter needed to make a layout come alive.
If anyone can suggest alternative cycle suppliers though, I'm all ears! This is a 1970s layout, is there a 4mm scale Chopper out there?
