I love LNWR locos and the carriage colour scheme. Same goes for the LSWR and LBSCR. All three are some of the best pre-grouping railways of all time, and I'd love to see big companies make more of their locos and rolling stock in 00 guage to help modellers assemble a collection better without having to constantly scratch build everything.
Leamington & Warwick Modal Railway Society, Lad's, Very nice indeed. Bob Essery once told me he thought the late Jack Nelson's L.N.W.R. book was the best book issued for a railway modeller. He wished there were more books like it. When we took Bob's Scale 7 layout " Dewsbury" on exhibition from a cold garage to a warm exhibition hall. On a Friday we'd set the layout up but we didn't tighten the boards up let the layout stand over night. Saturday before the door's opened we'd tighten everything up. Doing that we never had any running problems.Cheers, Chris Perry.
Haven't touched upon model layout creativity in a while because I'm into more ambitious tastes mostly, but this is a truly fine example of what layout presentation strives for, and the commitment of the team behind it to pull it off so meticulously. This is the kind of rounded development feel I focus on with my work. Also the set-up of a crossroads of different companies' activities is very tempting because of course of the variety feel, and that again is something I fascinate in. Marvelous job. Samuel F.
Very nice. Has anyone thought of doing an accurate model layout of Woodham Brothers scrapyard when it was full of rusting pre-heritage beauties. Although it would be more of a static display, it would include a fantastic collection of steam classics as they looked prior to rescue and loving restoration...
Excellent layout with fantastic detail, thanks for the video. Question I have a Hornby #R3811 with some 4-plank wagons and a brake van. I would like to add some passenger cars, was this done on the real railroad ? At one time in the states it was not unusual to do that., t was called a mixed train or mixed freight train.
