I shall be ably assisted by @doctor quinn, who is yet to tell me that he will be bringing a green class 47 for the inevitable photo opportunity .... That's one of the ones I'm really looking forward to. I'm a fairly bog standard UK steam modeller myself, but I love seeing layouts of rarely modelled and exotic prototypes. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too thought it was exotic until I was shuffling cars around on it yesterday, and put the yellow West India Fruit Reefer back on the layout. It once again stood out as too garish (which is why it didn't really feature on the magazine photos) and I realised that with black locos, maroon coaching stock and brown freight cars I had basically copied 1950s BR.... 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted September 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2023 Having attended the recent GOG show at the venue and been pleasantly surprised at how easy the journey was from near Doncaster, a few of us are going to make our first trip to this show at the weekend.
