Entry number 6 is a windmill, of which we have quite a few but not many actually working in my locality. This is Langstone Windmill, a Grade II listed tower mill at Langstone, Hampshire in England. The windmill is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It has been converted to residential accommodation.Langstone Mill was built around 1730. It worked in conjunction with a tide mill close by. The mill was derelict in 1934. By 1939 it had been converted to residential accommodation, with the tower tarred and a new cap constructed. In the 2nd picture you can just see that my MA has been spotted by one of the Gardener’s!

Entry number 7 is a viaduct.

There are few railway viaducts in Hampshire, but two of them are in Fareham, on the London & South Western Railway line to Cosham, which opened in 1848. Both are listed grade II. This one is know as Wallington Viaduct or Portchester Road Viaduct, and spans the River Wallington, a northern arm of Portsmouth Harbour.

The tall building in the background is Fareham civic offices, which is 10 floors and 42m tall, and by far the tallest building in the area as you can see. However, think I will try and get closer to a taller building I know.

Entry number 8 is for a tall building.

In this image from Victoria Park, Portsmouth, you can see at least 7 tall buildings above 10 floors high. 2 of which are brand new student accommodation. The glass building closest is also now student accommodation, having been converted from what was known as the Zurich building.

Like @MementoMori city scape there are several categorie entries that can be found in this picture including 2 clock towers, and electric train, the park is older than 100 years and a monument!

Entry number 9 is something over 100 years old. This is Cathedral Church of St John the Evangelist (also known as St John’s Cathedral) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Portsmouth, England. It was opened in 1882 and is the first cathedral to have been built in Portsmouth. It is the mother church of the Portsmouth diocese and seat of the Bishop of Portsmouth, currently the Right Reverend Philip Egan. It was dedicated on 10 August 1882.

Again taken from Victoria Park, in the background is the Portsmouth HM Naval Base, and yet another Clock Tower located in HMS Nelson.

And here is my final image, 20 of 20.
#6 Electric Train.

I took this image of the track yesterday.

And then I took these today.

After a bit of not the best PS I came up with the combined image, if that is not allowed I’ll just go along with the model on the track with the power supply :smiley:

Brilliant!

Looked at the first image and was wondering what that was at side of track.

Thank you.

That is the power supply for the 1970’s train set.

How long did that take you to put together?

An hour maybe, trying to picture the angle to take the model train was a bit difficult, I think I took five shots at different angles, and the wind wasn’t helping.
PhotoShopping the train and power supply took the longest :grin:

It’s good. I probably wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for the power supply.

I realised something was “iffy” … but, initially, and had there been only the first pic, I was thinking “That’s one effing realistic scenery in that model train layout!!!” :wink:
