Hi guys.
I'm from Buckinghamshire, UK and firstly I'd better add that you could write down my entire knowledge of all things railway on the back of a postage stamp - heck, I don't even need a postage stamp. I know nothing!
So how about this for a winter project?
Winter Project Pictures (it will take you to a flickr website and you can also got to flickr, search "pinsanon" and look at my most recent 'set' if you're concerned about hitting links from new users!
I have no idea about it's age or anything! I presume it was a parcel van or something (you'll have to bear with me as I don't even know the correct terminology for anything yet!). It has double doors either side, and looks like it might have been red once upon a time (royal mail?). It's not on wheels and I presume the tree growing through the middle wasn't original..!!!
Anybody who can shed any light on my new office would be great! The wood is pretty rotten, but the metal work looks like it might be solid. There's a couple of 'plates' either side but can't make anything out on either and there's no lettering or anything on the body that I can make out!
If it'll cost me more than it'll ever be worth to restore I might still do it, as I love getting my teeth into something new, but if it's beyond all hope then I might let the tree grow some more!
Thanks for your time.
