Adventures in Faults & Failures.

My latest Bachmann 450 repaint for someone, 450118 in miniature. Ready to go back to its owner #TMRGUK

Someone somewhere has been dreaming of a summers holiday! #TMRGUK

Wonderful snow here in the New Forest #newforest #snow #hampshire

Dashing through the last of the snow in the New Forest yesterday evening… SWR Help 450011 on a Lymington - Brockenhurst service

For 36 hours, the New Forest became even more magical… #snow #newforest #hampshire

Not a bad effort. Another one to have a go at recreating in miniature on the models!

#WhatsOnTheWorkbench - 3417: fitted glazing, added Handrails, pipework, jumper cables, airpipes, + double arrows & Gordon Pettitt nameplates. Now she just needs a good run. Please help the real 3417 donate thru their website: setg.org.uk #VariousMultipleUnits #TMRGUK

450074 and 450094 at Lymington Pier last week (separate days naturally!) I should have another ride on the 21st before the branch shuts for engineering until the new year.

450090 + 444028 on the rear go in for the overtake as 450013 with the Winchester stopper is held in P1 to let them past

Document the ordinary…one day it’ll be gone…450087 at Brockenhurst with a Bournemouth stopper.

Still water always provides some compelling reflections. If it was the summer I’d want to be out there on a paddle board! Lymington Quay…a happy place for me

The beautiful New Forest. This place must be protected at all costs

Last day of the Lymington Flyer for 2024 as engineering work will shut the line from tomorrow until 6th January. 450123 has the honours

450019 down at Lymington Pier yesterday evening

What an amazing Christmas, Santa brought me an S Stock and mummy and daddy found an amazing person to produce this 450 in new SWR livery. Thank you so much SouthWestMax Such a happy boy 😊😊😊

There has been a tree massacre at Lymington Town! I just cannot get used to there not being any trees here any more. There’s been trees as long as I remember. Though of course, I do get why they have gone :-)

The Lymington Flyer is back for 2025 with yesterday being the first day of services this year. 450003 had the honours and 450074 gets to enjoy it today.

Two generations of South Western electric traction at Brockenhurst.

Talk about dream come true getting to run your models on the real one. We took #Project3417 Jnr x3 to Strawberry Hill Depot to see 423417_GordonPettitt & all became kids again playing trains on trains! Huge thx to Steve, Lynn & Darren for accommodating us. #VariousMultipleUnits #tmrguk
