Shawhurst - SR/WR OO gauge layout

[Chops]

Astonishing, meticulous modeling.

Certainly adds colour. I have one hidden in the depths of the stock cupboard - Hornby NRM model - different shade of green.

I do like this, great work and interesting locos.

Hi Fratton71D.
Good to see you back on the rails.

[bulleidboy]

I agree - welcome back - hope your ok. Good to see Shawhurst back.

Regarding the Tri-ang WR coaches, I’ve just purchased four packs of Bachmann MK1 coach bogies and at a later date I will fit these to the coaches allowing them to run on Shawhurst’s code 75 track. The coaches may not be like today’s high standard of RTR coaches but they have a huge sentimental value from my younger days and thus will make the occasional appearance.

Lovely layout and nice to see the old Triang rolling stock making an appearance. I have re-wheeled mine using the matchstick trick or using the later push fit Hornby Mk1 bogies which just click in. I have managed to find interiors for my Mk1s and used Ratio and homemade seats for my Triang suburbans.
