Steam Trains to Sovereign Street on a 1914/1919 theme

I know the feeling, I had to make a lot of changes. The main thing is that you can still keep modelling albeit on a reduced scale. Like we always say a layout is never finished and you will now find various other changes to keep you going and if not the grand children will. . Best Wishes with it.

The challenges healthwise are not helping. Things to be done are taking time. In no rush though.

The new Clarence Dock Goods Yard is taking shape.

Still things to do.

Whilst in my local model shop I saw some Bachmann Thomas the Tank carriages. I purchased three.

One of them I repainted into Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway colours. It needs another coat of paint.

The other two I weathered them slightly to remove the shine. The roofs still need doing.

The coaches compared to Hornby's Generic Era 2 ones.

The two Bachmann carriages from the Thomas the Tank range are now on the Kirkstall to East Seacroft service. They are seen here at Rosevile Station.

Two All Third L&SWR coaches made by Hornby have been purchased, numbered 302 & 308

They have now joined their All First sister and will operate the Leeds to Wetherby service.

A further purchase was a LNWR All Third six wheeled carriage also Hornby. It goes nicely with my other LNWR All First six wheeled coach. In the picture is a Railroad four wheeled coach in LNWR livery.

All the Hornby Generic coaches have been purchased from New Modellers Shop and gave great, fast service. I believe they are in charge of this Forum.

Hi Glencairn,

There is something 'Happy' about the scenes you create.
Always a pleasure to look in.
