I thinks it's a later slogan but they did exist http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=5481875 I recall reading that UP painted cushion cars yellow and non-cushion cars brown

It looks like a jig for cutting track with a saw. The sleeper base sits on the wider felt covered bit and the grooved bit holds the rails. If the grooves are narrower than OO maybe it's the NG version?

UP had some ex-Railbox cars that are a close match but don't seem to have had a repaint http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4078578 To answer your query, the only way I've managed to come up with a prototypical patch outcomes to start from the road that acquired the car and figure out what the old livery was. Search Flickr may come up with something

That really looks the part.

Unless it also serves a power station...

The first large show I recall was in the Co-Op arts theatre on Broad St in Nottingham so I suspect given the location it may have been organised by the Gee Dee club.

Just spotted on eBay, four Athearn 4 bay hoppers cut and shut the make a pair of eight bay hoppers. They'll need some generous curves.

Thanks for posting the link to the article, sad news but the pictures give a flavour of why it's such a great subject for modelling.

I'd always assumed artistic licence by the filmmakers - steam locos going into the lake are more spectacular

Carl Arendt's micro site has a suggestion based on a grain depot in Valmont that you may find helpful https://www.carendt.com/micro-layout-design-gallery/standard-gauge-lines/

I've seen the ship one delivering to our local flower shop, the picture appears to be the SS Rotterdam which is currently preserved in Rotterdam (appropriately)

Jay Saunder's 'Manvers Street' will be at our spring show. It represents an ex-LNWR loco shed in the East of Nottingham in BR steam days.

All the best with the new job - Glad to see you back on here with the Interstate project.

No worries but thanks for the boost 😃

Seems a pretty fair price, nice engine.

Just spotted this on eBay an Austrian 1146 electric loco body on an Atlas RS3 chassis. The listing says the body is Roco but I wonder if it's actually Kleinmodellbahn given the issues that brand had with zinkpest. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296255913269?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eILynVRKT_2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=l6JIfXIeQAC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It's just under 2 weeks to our Spring Show, the featured layout is Deepcar celebrating four decades on the exhibition circuit and still going strong.

At the UK end it's more a case of proving you've only reimported what you took out. At the other end the tax authority will want to ensure you will re-export everything you take in.

The UK process for returned goods relief - taking goods (such as a layout) out of the country and bringing them back is detailed here https://www.gov.uk/taking-goods-out-gb-temporarily I would ask the exhibition organisers to ask the Netherlands customs authority for guidance on temporary imports.

Less than a month to go, here's a shot of Nick Palettte's San Clemente

Just found this from the 'I like foreign layouts thread', I think you've pretty much nailed the late' '70s industrial Midwest vibe.
