pitbull1845 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Another good picture Alan, although 301 is the only one I've seen before, so I wouldnt be a kop for me unfortunately. Heading out to my garage later to rearrange the layout, cant afford the cranes but I can try and represent some kind of container distribution layout. Ive got the bug!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted May 22, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2011 If this is Nick Gurney does this mean no more Holland Park.........I hope not, I really wanted to see his inspirational layout in the flesh I think it may be from Holland Park as I heard he wasn't showing it again and his layout site is gone. Sad if it is the case as it is a superb model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah I was trying to view his site too... it is a shame as dyserth road and Holland park were two layouts that I always wanted to see but never did. I even bid on Dyserth road when it went on ebay. Missed out by a few quid!! Have to look out for Holland Park now, it might just fit in the garage. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
