Nice surroundings but you are the victim of a Bachmann class 45 issue.  A particular run of the 45/1 was released with the vacuum braked chassis - no air brake cylinders under the battery boxes.  Not that most would spot it. 

 

Maybe pop this over to the Heljan 45 46 thread for further analysis and verification?

I love the way you've lit this shot. It really captures the mood.

 I believe that the majority of it is Port Talbot steelworks looking from the East (about where the M4 crosses the South Wales main line), but the cooling towers/power station are Photoshopped into it. They are good value for the size you get.

Yes that’s definitely Port Talbot. Just down the road from me.

Looking great Andy

Stroll down memory lane,

by the side of the quay with the noise of the gulls overhead and waft of fish from every angle,

smell of coal smoke everywhere.....and add a hint of rain in the air.

What's not to like about model railwaying....

It's a lovely morning so far, so I thought I'd get the old Anglia out and give it a run, here she is parked in the Yard for this photo.

Extremely convincing, Andy, especially the ground cover.

Unlike today's beasts these old Fordson tractors are not quick - still hope the photographer jumps out of the way !
