A few more snaps of Cottleston Park (still being referred to as such until a new name is decided upon (although should it now be Cote-le-Stone?)).

First up is 009Matt's Tomytec Portram. Looks good and runs well, but the question is how long will it remain like this before it get butchered into the latest incarnation from the East Hants workshop?

Next up is a visior from Hong Kong - a Ktt set produced as a limited edition by Kato. Yes, the loco does look suspiciously like an SBB class 460. A very unusual model, but the carriages are a little sensitive over the points...

Another incursion from Holland - a class 1800 locomotive...on Swiss stock?!

Ahh, thats better. Something else from the land of the rising sun. This is the M250 container FMU - 16 cars of impressiveness! The prototype runs between Tokyo and Osaka along the Tokaido main line in 6 hours. Not a common sight as it tends to make these runs at night...

Finally something a little more sedate. One of the new Kato DE10 locomotives atop a rake of Micro Ace Wamu box vans. The detail on the wagons is very good, and each of the 15 carry individual numbers - they came in a single book set. They are also fairly heavy for their size and it's just as well the little DE10 is like its full size brother and packs quite a punch in haulage terms.
