Intro
Welcome to Chev's Shed; where nostalgia sparks imagination, and progress breathes life into memory.
Step inside and you'll find a project built from equal measures of recollection, wonder, experimentation and a healthy dose of shed-based tinkering. Created during the summer of 2025, Nostalgia Reimagined - Inevitability and opportunity provided by progress is a personal journey: part autobiography, part dream, part playful fantasy. Though my modelling experience could be measured by the last Airfix kit I built nearly 60 years ago, the thrill of creating has never faded.
At the heart of this project lies a box of memories - scraps of the past transformed into something new. Inspired by Turner's Fighting Temeraire, it reflects the late 1960s: a time of change, uncertainty, opportunity and forward motion. A scrap yard wrestles with history, tinplate and steam pave the way for tomorrow, and a childhood car chase remains an unwavering thread through time. Here, ONOO gauge experimentation mixes O, N, OO and even a hint of TT120, because the boundaries of imagination are made to be stretched.
This is nostalgia reimagined. A space where masts tower, colours shine, bystanders peer into the future and a single wave bridges generations. There is even a secret switch - but some things must remain undisclosed.
I invite you to follow the build, enjoy the updates and share in the final reveal. If it brings you half the joy it's brought me, then Chev's Shed has done its job.
