Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, to my new series for the Real World Railways section of New Railway Modellers Forum, Locomotives in the Spotlight. I thought I would try and do something different for the Forum and bring some useless information about different heritage locomotives to you all. This wil...

Looking through those videos, this layout is amazing, I know people move on from forums, but it is a shame Andrew doesn't post updates anymore.

The ash and cinders on the floor by the shed look great, especially with the 14xx

Those LMS coaches are excellent, I've got three myself, they look great with your Patriot. Keep those updates coming.

Hi Kenny, noticed your platform canopies, are they supported by the diecast version of the pillars? If so, and you have plenty of time, scrape off the thick layer of green sludge that Margate dunked them in, and underneath you'll find a really good casting of a Victorian cast iron pillar complete w...

Well with all this lockdown malarky I may as well do something with this layout, so here are some progress photos. Ballasting now done, the gravel areas and I've laid ciders for the engine shed. I have also started the Tunnel, I should of painted the tunnel green first before putting grass on but ne...

Afternoon Guys A little more progress on the layout, in between 009 gauge kit building and painting a locomotive. https://i.ibb.co/SPf6VmS/20200329-190149.jpg More grass has appeared beside the shed and where the Signalbox is. https://i.ibb.co/VTYQvTH/20200330-143524.jpg https://i.ibb.co/nQhfhBF/202...

Nice to see you progressing with this Ben, love that crane!

Nice to see you love for the MSLR hasnt changed
That shed looks good, would look lovely with the 14xx simmering away outside of it.

Looking good Alex, that ballasting is very neat and tidy.

A very small update from this morning, I have started work on the pway/S+T/general left over scrap yard. https://i.ibb.co/2ZfQNDz/20200327-112727.jpg https://i.ibb.co/xMtvnsB/20200327-112928.jpg The Wickham Trolley has a small piece of track now, freshly ballasted. https://i.ibb.co/pLj0Kd4/20200327-...

Great looking layout, theres so much detail, I shall keep watching with interest.

I do like those Heljan Class 28s, wouldnt mind grabbing one at some point with small yellow panels.

Thanks Chops. All the railway photography is mine, its my other hobby that takes over and stops me doing stuff to the layout! :lol: I have always been a fan of preservation, it means I can run what I like, most of my stock is preserved in real life, there are however, a few locos that are "pres...

Some more photos from recent trips out, this time a couple of days during the Severn Valley Railways Falling Sands Closure running, trains were due to be running between Bewdley and Bridgnorth from the end of December until the beginning of April due to the closure of Falling Sands Viaduct in Kidder...

Well time for an update.... The layout is a mess currently, with lots of playing and not so much progress recently, but with the current situation across the UK and with my place of work being closed, I have more than enough time to try and create something decent out of what I currently have. https...
