Nice photos, but where's the team photo Nigel??? That GB depot looks like a model. Now there's an idea. 🤣

A quiet Sunday at Eastbury Sidings. A 66 heads down to Redbrook Maritime container terminal, whilst the duty grown up for Network Rail pops to the yard to make sure all is well.

I've had a long break from posting layouts on here, mainly because I've had so many in the past that it got a bit silly, in fact I'm sure there's probably a thread out there with a similar name to this one already. However, as this one seems to be lasting a while I thought I'd post a few pictures and see how it goes. Usual back story, based somewhere in the Wessex region. The layout is still a work in progress, but I'm happy with the way its going. I tend to put the images on my social media - eastbury_sidings Instagram / Eastbury Sidings - Facebook / Eastbury_Sidings X (Twitter)

Looks really good Nigel, I see I didn't hang around long. 😆

Last week I got to visit Nigel and Wyvern Road, the layouts coming on really well and it was good fun playing trains and chatting.

Good to see you're still at it Steve and that you survived the storm; undamaged.

I've just been catching up with your posts Jim, really good pictures and insight into your work. Some good modelling inspiration too. Cheers Scott

Looks great Rhys, I'm sure it will be very popular at Taunton. Shame I can't go.

Thanks to Ian today for letting me loose on Exford Park. A coffee and catch up was just what was needed.

Hi Steve, sorry to hear you're still struggling with the knee, and whas this about being on the move? Going far? You've got a lovely little N gauge layout there. Is it the building of layouts you enjoy more amd now that it's so complete the mojo goes?? If so, maybe sell it and start a fresh at the new place? I haven't been down your way for ages unfortunately. Keep smiling, and hope you find your mojo and the knee head better.

A good choice Matt, I've often thought of modelling the Westbury wagon works. I'm still tempted to do it in O gauge. Good luck with the project... Scott

Failed 66419 sits at #EastburySidings

Looks great, nicely executed.

One from the other night. Good to see you all and thanks for letting the boys have a drive.

With all that time made, you could've washed her! 😆

Evening, Sorry for the delay but life gets in the way. 37099 is pictured arriving on the big layout #RussellBridge It was then seen at #EastburySidings where it dropped off the West Coast Mk1 for storage. Then it was off to the depot for fuel Thinking of starting another little diorama style layout which will represent another part of the depot. Thanks for looking and have an enjoyable Christmas with plenty of modelling.

The Mail centre blends in well to its surroundings... Nice..

A great set of pictures Ian.. It's a quality layout..

some spaces lend themselves to it, I could name a few cafes and garden centres where that's the only way 😉 You wait, next time they'll be reversing in and you can watch the circus! 😂

definitely - 😉

David the layout is looking great, can I ask one favour though, please and can you turn the Police car around. Or can I have the registration so I can have a word with the officer that parked it like that! 😂 Cheers Scott

Good work Steve, I went to an exhibition at the weekend and now my youngest wants to do an N gauge layout.. Happy days

Oops, another new arrival.. 47812 arrived light engine from Sheffield early this morning. It will go nicely with my barrier coaches..

This evening I managed a visit to Coleborne Junction. Was good to catch up with Nick, Brian and G.. https://youtu.be/_dJp3DzE09s I was even allowed to run my latest loco in.

New loco at the depot. 68016 is down on crew training and route learning.
