Unlined maroon/crimson is another possible. The model of the great train robbery had a plain LMS BG. https://youtu.be/l2WTXysSiYE

I once saw an article that stated that George Stephenson would have been totally a home with a BR standard Steam Locomotive built in the 1950s, but would be totally baffled by anything built today. That said I am sure that Stephenson would have been aware of the research being carried out by his fel...

Narrow Gauge Loco?

I am so glad that I moved job four years ago, I was working for a heavy engineering company and decided on something new, so I joined a Life Sciences Company, a major supplier or processed raw materials to the Pharma industry, I am currently working flat out on ensuring that all the correct document...

Layout is looking good Manna - looking forward to see the shed complete, should be impressive with your collection of locomotives.

I start with an all-steam railway, and progress through the seven year transition of withdrawals of both steam locos and older stock, with corresponding introductions of BR diesels and stock, until we reach the point where the process is near complete in 19...

I followed the link back to that BNS thread and his parting comment was "What I will say is that when I have finished I will post the photos and anyone will be welcomed to come and check the model. To the rest who had a little belief in me thanks for the advise." Four years on and no photo...

how is it negative? could be used to drive traffic here, I miss great threads all the time on here, a group where you can post something like "hey I've just updated my thread with this, here's the link" could be useful? was just a question There is the British Railway Modelling group, so ...

Has anyone here made a facsimile of early British railway track in any scale? My understanding is that some of the earliest Stephenson era track was laid upon granite blocks. I would be most curious and appreciative of anyone’s handy work With first gen British steam. Nearest I can think is the lat...

Shades of Northbridge, but actually East end of Edinburgh Waverley April 2017

Anyone got a real night shot
