35003 Royal Mail on an up express. The Seaton Branch train arrives. The down ACE passes through behind 35016. 30800 waits to depart with loaded milk tanks. 35018 passes with an up van train.

The station building is scratch built from mount board, the windows are left over parts from a Metcalfe kit.

There are some items listed as a bargain in the sale such as the Thompson A2/3s in LNER livery that were the same price at £119, and £109 each before the 20% off sale!

Bit of an update. I followed your advice ‘Bigmet’ I removed the front bogie, and cut down the spring, I also removed the coupler arm, as I won’t be running tender first. I extended the spring on the leading driving axle. Finally I fitted a spare laisdcc chip that I had in the spares box. I test ran ...
