#TMRGUK The personal highlight for me at the accurascale takeover at Rails Of Sheffield was seeing the 89 production samples and even holding the sample of the one I have ordered, only a few weeks away now I really look forward to getting mine which I have ordered with sound.

#TMRGUK Here is what I brought back from Rails Of Sheffield at their @Accurascale Takeover event, Class 31 31420 in the Intercity Livery, its 2nd hand but pretty much as new. Got a decent price as I had part exchanged my old Lima 87 as I didn’t use that as much as I have hornbys one

#TMRGUK Ordered some spare parts for my Bachmann 350 which when I bought it originally a couple of years ago while it was a runner the directional lighting and interior lights never worked right, so happy to have this working properly now, will be great to use it more often.

#TMRGUK I have added accurascale 50017 Royal Oak in Network SouthEast to my fleet, didn’t plan to get this model originally because I already had my Hornby one with HM7000 but decided to pick this one up as I really did like how this one looks.

#TMRGUK Credit to accurascale here because recently I had sent my Mk5 trailer to them after meeting them at Rails and saying the cab lighting had never worked since I got them, they said to send it to them and they would take a look, it’s now returned and all working.

#TMRGUK Had this hornby Mk3 coach delivered yesterday Bought after I saw a post on Silent Hill #TMRGUK Instagram he had made a model of M12140 which was a coach used to test some coach bogies, his model depicted the coach with SIG Mk4 bogies and I’m going to do the same.
