Making tracks!

Apart from making tracks for the Panzer Ferry where I have started the other side....

I have been taking Mrs. Woody and making tracks for some interesting places.

First off The Priests House at Easton on the Hill. A National Trust Property where you have to go to a local house to pick up the key! 

There is not a great deal to it but a museum on the upper floor is one of the most eclectic collections of things I have ever seen including the history of Colleyweston slate, the tail plane off a WW2 bomb...

..and for those of a certain age the dispised IZAL toilet paper that was more like tracing paper then toilet tissue!

Second place was Rockingham Castle set near to the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire boarder. 

It may not look like the traditional castle but it dates back to the tenth century built by William the Conquer and altered over the years. You can understand why the site was choosen when you look over the countryside - views to die for - and many did over the castles long history! Wish I could build model countryside that good!

Nowadays things are much more tranquil with wonderful gardens to wander through.

Last off has been Bede House at Lyddington. 

Dating from the 1300s it is full of history and character but nothing prepares you for the attic!

It is big! It is impressive! It would make a great model railway room! Somehow I don't think that is going to happen!

Anyway making tracks back to WMD HQ!
