This place stinks.

A flying visit through here as one of our little group couldn't fit through the access point and I could only just squeeze myself in, the most bloody awkward and slightly embarrassing access into anywhere I've done for some time. This small bungalow was owned by someone with an obvious passion for railways (why else would you choose to live next to a level crossing?) as well as keeping fish and lizards, which is where the stink comes in...

Didn't spend long in here at all because of the aforementioned stink and Landie Man stranded outside, it's a shame the model railway layout has been buried under all sorts of crap.

All shot handheld on my 30mm lens as I couldn't be arsed to change back to my wide angle after finishing at the care home before this.

Nice shots. I do believe that this used to be a crossing keeper's cottage and when the level crossing was changed from manual gates to automatic the crossing keeper became redundant, so he just carried on with his hobby of railways, keeping fish and growing cacti.
 
great shots, the model loco is a great scot class n-guage and was brought out new in 2003, which matches the date on the bbc calender on the first shot, not a trainspotter just googled it:)
