Holiday dreams in the Forest of Dean...
I've just got back from a lovely week in the Forest of Dean with the family.
Of course we visited the railway (and rode behind City of Truro - a real treat!) and that's where my fascination started... two books, six sketches and lots of doodling later and I've not worked up a suitable track plan, decided on a location, period or anything really but I was inspired and it's another layout plan on my 'one day' plan.
I've always had a soft spot for the GWR and in particular the Collet cab 57xx panniers...
If these weren't over £100 I'd definitely now be getting my hands on one of these...
Parkend, and in particular March End sidings (the Parkend branch) were particularly appealing - I even went back and walked the track bed...
and this isn't blooming Cinderford (tired scanning and confused scribbling - it's Coleford)! Coleford had two stations and was particularly interesting if I had the space...
So there we go... I'm mad aren't I!!
