An SLS special arrives at Shwt on a test run, SLS didn’t usually have coach running boards but we’ve found it helps portray the scenario better

I do love the bowler-hatted Loco Inspector on the footplate!

And that, dear chums, is why you can see Shwt at the annual SWAG members day at Staplegrove, April 2023.

The reason Britain’s branch lines just weren’t profitable, here is a photo from a really fascinating book, it’s a showing a delivery of coal to a local merchant, in the book it shows the return trip where the loco came back with just the brake van even though the next day they had to pick up wagons from the goods yard. So of course we like to copy the real thing

One of the interesting challenges of a 2’6 layout is how do you work on the layout without having to reach over all the time.
 

Our solution to fix snags which happen between shows is to lift the boards up on there sides and work on them when that are in front of you like this!!

it also provides an interesting view of the track plan of the layout!!!
