The plans for the Trainbarn are in!!

Today I lodged all the plans and application forms to our local Council for the Trainbarn!  That's a huge step forward as everything has been on the backburner for more than a year, and I'm extremely excited that it has finally come together.  All being well it'll be approved within four weeks, and therefore we're still looking good for a start on construction in March.  That'll be another exciting step!

For those new to reading this blog the Trainbarn is the large 'shed' which will eventually contain my ever-growing collection of Prewar American toy trains, mostly from Lionel, and is the first stage of what I hope to achieve on our property 'Whistlestop'.  It is styled to be a cross between an American Railroad Depot (station) and a typical American red barn, though hopefully not at all out of place in the Aussie 'bush'.

This is a picture of Jamestown Depot in California which shows the style that I'm trying to achieve with my Trainbarn.

Exciting times ahead!!
