A few piccies taken before the layout was dismantled ready for moving, It's all in tact, just hope the removal men are careful! :shock: :shock: 20200606_211208.jpg A brace of BR's newest DMU's (1987 style) Class 150/2 Sprinter's occupy the bay platforms, the one on Platform 6 is shortly about to dep...

Some great platform photos there; excellent detail. Those black and white photos look fantastic too. Nice layout. Hi Bob, Apologies for the late response, I haven’t been on the forum for quite a while. Glad you like the layout. It’s currently on its side with all the rolling stock in boxes as I hav...

Individuality! Making things 'unique'. I like it. Well done. Glencairn Many thanks Glencairn :) Well a couple more pictures taken of the station & a couple of Class 150 Sprinters in the company of a Class 31 & a 20 await their next turns of duty over in the station holding sidnings, I also ...

Also I've gone a bit 're branding crazy here at Shrewford :P . I thought I may as well while I'd got the transfers & glues etc on the table. My Class 122 has received it's West Midlands 'WM' logo & is seeing on the holding sidings coupled to a 3 car Class 101 & is now stabled overnight. ...

I'd always wondered if there was a layout based on Shrewsbury. Here it is! That's a fantastic job; it really captures the place and I use it regularly. BTW if you go platform 3 as far as you can walk towards where platforms 1 & 2 were d look through the window there the station guys have a bit ...

A few more from this morning at Shrewford.. A 3 Car DMU approaches Platform 6 with a terminating local service from Wolverhampton, there is a fair few passengers on this DMU for the Aberystwyth service. On arrival at Platform 6, passengers scurry around to platform 5 for the waiting Sprinter for Abe...

Cheers for now,

Many thanks Alan, glad you like it :D . Hi Everyone, Well more modelling done today, though this time with a locomotive. 37426 is my favourite of the 37'4's as I saw it named at Aberystwyth when I was just 8 years old back in may 1986. It was to mark the introduction of the 'InterCity' Cambrian coas...

The platform views are great, some nice detail in the fixtures and fittings. The leading bubblecar with it front mounted exhausts, is a reminder of the one I took each morning for one stop down into Stratford. I bet yours doesn't have the sag in the middle, it obviously developed quite early in its...

Those platform-level shots are excellent and I had to look at that of the Class 33 several times to convince myself that it wasn't real. I like the backscenes and river in particular as well - it all blends together very nicely. Hi Mike, glad you like it , i've just had a glance at your layout from...
