Southern Pride TPO. Kit build. 

Used to love seeing TPO stock when I did overnight spotting trips to Crewe; the York to Shrewsbury Postal (and return) stopped at Crewe for a good hour or so to load and unload mail. The would usually be hauled by a class 31 or (very occasionally) a 37 might show up! Add in the newspaper traffic and it was an interesting but tiring nights spotting! You have recreated the postal, newspaper and parcels traffic very nicely on your cracking layout. I used to model in N gauge probably about 30 years ago. 1969 - 1976 Western Region was the era. Its all packed up in the loft - todays models would blow these early efforts out of the water for detailing, but I used to do what you - modify existing stock to create interesting items which you couldn’t buy. So I am an armchair modeller now and enjoy watching you and a select few others strut their stuff on YT. Keep up the good work!

Once again, great work!

Amazing! You have really fired up my interest in railway modelling again. Exciting times and what they do with DCC. Just loving getting older.😉. Many thanks for the tips Wallsrail 👍. Take care be safe Brother.

Hi Buddy. Great seeing something different than something out of a box 👍🏻

Turned out lovely 👌

(So you don’t just glue it together then?😃). Phenomenal job, Southern Pride should pay you for building the thing, seems a mighty undertaking….. I’ll stick to box vans😃
