My day at the Bluebell and the rostered loco for the day was a bloody Br liveried GWR 56XX. Not well pleased at all

Family committtments and other normal hum drum daily issue's seem to have taken up most of this year so far. Having been only able to have one morning only attempting to run trains after the previous two years bad weather has ment that so far this year I have not been able to have a single decent ru...

Having now trawled through all that's been writtern so far and then trawling through all the original Thomas Series books, a couple of loco's have been completely overlooked. These being Pip and Emma, both class 43's HST's and in the blue/grey livery. So now you can run a complete HST comprising of;...

All my Tri-ang 9" suburban non-corridor coaches have all had their original bogies and wheels replaced with Bachmann MK1 bogies that come complete with wheels and couplings. They now run like new stock and with a repaint, even look like new stock. Not bad for them considering that they were mad...

Check through the garden section on here, Some of the garden railways have been up and running for over 6 years and the track is left outside permanently. Also have a look at garden railway forums, and there are a couple that only feature 00 gauge garden railways.

At anytime of day or evening. When the grandchildren are around its a good excuse to get the Thomas stock out for some fun running.

Have a look at your local Cash Convertors and what ever they call themselves in your local area. You might be surprised at what comes in. I have seen some seriously good and normally exspensive Bachmann loco's and rolling stock up for grabs are very competitive prices and cheaper than what you will ...

Try Gary Wells of 247 Developments, mainly steam, or Shawplan, mainly diesels and the like
