Got sick of not having a train set, maybe it’s time to cobble something together with the bits I have laying around…

Regular freight on HS1 finishes today with the final Transfesa train operated by DB Cargo UK. Freight will still run through the Channel Tunnel but, for now, will not use HS1.

We are sad to confirm that our Honorary President, Sir Kenneth Grange has passed away at the age of 95. He will be best remembered by us for the transition he made to the styling and livery of the InterCity 125. We pass on our condolences to his Wife,Apryl and all of his family

Only the finishing touches and minor details to complete now on Drewry 11103 😃, All the skirts are now fitted with the rest of the vinyls to be applied. 11103 will be running for the first time at Mangapps during our August Gala on 23rd - 26th 👍.

Set myself an arbitrary target to have a 009 micro layout finished by Christmas two months ago and then did nothing at all. Managed to break out the foam cutter, drill and glue and make some progress this evening, though!

You know you've been working on the railway too long when you look at this and wonder what exactly the driver of 1B15 has done to get such a reputation as a food thief.

First replacement Leader arrived from KR Models with footsteps and buffers snapped off, but at least the wheels seem stable enough. Tempted to simply glue them back on and close this deeply annoying chapter off. BUT. THEY SENT ME THE WRONG LIVERY.
