Well, what can I say that hasn't already been posted?
The level of modelling is truely outstanding and on a level miles above anything I would have thoguht possible in 4mm. It's almost like you have gotten the plans from British Rail, from when they built the place in the 1960s, and scaled them down to oo gauge. I only hope your footings are deep enough lol!
Toton TMD and it's surrounding yards have always held a massive interest for me, as coming from the Anglian region, we didn't get the traction in the quantities as could be seen 'on shed' at any given time. We used to get the odd grid or bone, choppers,peaks and rats were more frequent obvioulsly peds,tractors and duffs were very common in Anglia on all the usual workings.
It was the types of traffic that used to fascinate me, coal,stone,steel,scrap and oil and the hustle and bustle of 08's making up trains and sorting the yards.
As a teenager In the early to late 80's we used to just walk around the yards and up to the back of the sheds after getting the bus from Long Eaton, getting what numbers we could before heading for the hill with some binoculars to finish off what we hadn't already got oh happy days.
So after all this waffle, I'm slowly getting to my point ( at last I hear you cry) my own layout is based within the midlands, a small sub shed of Toton 1985-89 ( a blog will appear soon) and a few photos can be found here dickiegrid100.smugmug.com.
It's nice to see someone modelling the best period for liveries in railway history. Well done, a fantastic model and inspiration to me.
Thank you Dickie
