Hal o' the Wynd moves on and an odd livery

Peter brought 60116 to the St Albans show to let me see progress, and it's posed next to Blink Bonny, these will be my two BR Blue Pacifics, although knowing Peter 60116 will be pristine as opposed to the weathered A3.

I also received Colin Tyler's repaint of the J71 built by James King.

It is such a well made loco that I felt that it deserved a special livery and so it has been given the almost unique hybrid livery of BR green with LNER black and white lining panels, as applied to the York station pilot.

It is seen here on an outing to the Stevenage Club layout - pity that it's a hundred miles from me!

With the turn of the year it will soon be time for the first outing of the travelling layout at Tonbridge.

Why do a model in N gauge when there are models like this in the world?

I suppose it's horses for courses, if you want to do a landscape then it's 00, or N, but if you like building locos, then 0 gauge takes some beating...

My landscape is the garden, so it's the rolling stock that's the focus, even if I get a lot of help from others!
