The PECO Model Railways #RAIL200 challenge continues! Ends swapped, Cork down and track swiftly followed! Even had some help from Daughter No.1 and No.2. Lots to do #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular

2 more of Pete's Express coaches left the workbench this week with the Green Composites being completed. This now means 4 out of the 5 he asked me to do are now done and the final Green brake is currently in pieces ready for body modifications! Lots to do! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge

Railway No.7 for the year and its a new line for me! Today we visited the Gwili Steam Railway for a round trip behind GWR 5521 in its lovely London Transport Maroon livery.

“What is the charge? Winning a trophy? A succulent European trophy?”

Today was the annual Day Out with Thomas! This year we visited the Watercress Line and its very clear they know what they are doing! Lota going on, frequent departures, only slight disappointment for me was the Thomas trip didn't go into Arlesford itself. Otherwise a top day

The PECO Model Railways #RAIL200 challenge is certainly coming together now! I've finished the land forming for the second embankment and had some scenics delivered that has allowed me to get this section ballasted. Next step is to mod-roc the hills! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge

Railway No.9 of the year saw a brief visit to Amerton Railway. At a grand total of £6 for me and the two girls you can't go wrong! You even get two trips per ticket! Very nice of the guard to show us around the shed between trains too. Must do a gala here someday!

Some more progress on the PECO Model Railways #RAIL200 competition. This week has seen the mod-roc added to the hills and a base coat of brown applied. Having small children paid dividends as I 'borrowed' some of their brown poster paint! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge

As I had opened the mod-roc last week I thought I better use the rest before it goes off! So I've done the last bit on Daughter No.1's layout, this has also been scattered so thats the base grass now done to all areas #TMRGUK #NGauge

It's Balloon day! A few 'on brand' items have been unrwapped! Hmmmm, why on earth would I be getting more Annie and Clarabel models??? Guess we'll find out on Sunday!

New additions to the fleet! This week has seen a pair of Red Branch line coaches added to the stock box. These are 3D print files (Tiny Underground Models) on Bachmann chassis #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge

We ticked off Railway No.11 for the year with a ride on the West Lancashire Light Railway. Haulage was provided by Sybil. A very small but friendly set up, special thanks for the shed tour! So that means in the past 3 Sundays we have done each of the 3 partner 2ft gauge lines!

The #rail200 board has some colour! Base layer of scatter has gone down and it really transforms the look of the board. James looks right at home awaiting his bootlace! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge

Railway No.12 for 2025! A little jaunt on Severn Valley Railway to Bewdley and back with 13268 and 1450 on the Autotrain providing haulage. Also had a look in 'Inspiration' which the kids loved. A grand few hours!

Hello West Midlands Safari Park I've just tried to book our free return visit for this Sunday. Doing payment details I accidentally refreshed the screen and it kicked me out of booking. Its now saying I can't use my code as it's already been redeemed? But i never completed it. Please help?!

At long last I've completed the last Express Coach for Pete, 2 Red and 3 Green ready to go! Now I think that's enough Express coaches for one year! I think something a bit more straightforward next to get me back in the swing of things. Watch this space! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge
