That Model Railway Guy Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 More great photos @Jonnie! I'm definitely planning to come along to the model railway weekend at Spa Valley Railway if I can, so will be great to see Paybury in person. I saw the call for layouts on the Facebook group and briefly considered submitting my own... then I realised getting it finished by September might be a bit ambitious! Still looking forward to attending though 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnie Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) My recent birthday saw the arrival of some additional China Clay wagons, so here are some photos from a bit of a running session with just the 08 and a Beattie Well Tank yesterday evening. The 08 is fitted with sound and a stay alive so keeps me entertained for a while moving trucks around! The Beattie Well Tanks will follow in due course after the M7 and H class. I post more onto my Facebook page if you want more regular updates: https://www.facebook.com/PayburyModelRailway The 08 shunts a BR standard brake van.

Simon Moore Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 What a charming little layout. I am looking at lots of these small layouts on rmweb with the idea of giving all my Western region models a home. I must admit I do want to model a southern region layout one day. The west country is a place I holiday at regularly & it would be nice to model it one day. Your attention to detail is spot on & its very convincing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnie Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Thank you for your kind words! I've been rather busy in the real world of late with Spa Valley and two major events that have taken place, both very well received by the public and busy, As mentioned above, Paybury can be see in Model Rail issue 200, available now. Chris Nevards great photography picked out the layout in far better ways than I ever could with a phone! I've recently given into temptation and now have another BR(S) Green DEMU and one of the EFE O2s on the way so that'll mean an excuse for more photos... Paybury will be on display at the Spa Valley's first Model Railway weekend on 11th & 12th September along with a range of other layouts, details can be found on the Spa Valley's website here. Couple of recent pics of the M7 shunting and one of the 22s idling away. Edited August 11, 2021 by Jonnie 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david51 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Just got back from Tunbridge Wells and Spa Valley . Sir Keith Park was in fine form . Railway exhibition was enjoyable ( my first since January 2020) . Paybury was excellent , watched it for ages . I love the detail and it really captures the southern branch line atmosphere. A couple of poor photos added here 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnie Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm glad you liked Paybury! It is available to appear at the odd exhibition if any exhibitors are interested, just drop me a message. I didn't get to operate it myself this weekend, I was firing the Bulleid on Saturday and driving the 33 on the Sunday so a couple of trusted fellow volunteers had the pleasure of driving various Southern locos up and down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
