Very handy as I found out a couple of weeks ago that my rebuilt EXETER has the plastic ones missing.

The Graham Farish N Gauge Merchant Navy is about the hit the shops.  My review can be read on my blog here http://grahammuz.com/2015/05/06/the-new-graham-farish-merchant-navy-pacific-reviewed-bulleid-power-exceptionally-well-captured-in-n-gauge-rtr/

Those SR 4mm signals look very good indeed. That would save me a hell of a lot of fiddly work if they turn out to be really tidy models.

Thanks Graham.

Now can we find someone to produce an original 1945 West Country 21C101-21C110? :locomotive:

 

I am just starting to learn CAD in retirement with a goal to be able to 3D print such a beast. :lol:  By the time I get to that point I should be able to print it correctly colored in malachite with a sunshine SOUTHERN on the tender along with the Wadebridge and Padstow coats of arms.  :jester:

 

Having fun with the animated emoticons.....

As I hope you have seen already as its being promoted on RMweb, through British Railways Modelling Magazine and on theonline MREmag.com voting is now open, running from Saturday 26th December to Saturday 9th January in the British Model Railway Awards.


As well as giving you the chance to vote for your favourite models and manufacturers of the year as before, the categories have been broadened to celebrate excellence and innovation in the wider British model railway scene. New awards cover retailers, websites, exhibitions and layouts, acknowledging the huge contributions they make to our hobby.


There have of course been a number of Southern / Southern Region related models released during 2015 so I urge you to support the production of these models by choosing your best in the relevant category and voting accordingly. 


Further details of the Southern / Southern Region models included within the vote can be found on my blog here http://grahammuz.com/2015/12/27/british-model-railway-awards-vote-now-vote-southern/


As a bit of a shameless plug my blog was also nominated within the website category and can therefore also be voted for...
