    I have a copy of the excellent book 'Caledonian in LMS Days' by Ferguson and Stirling which has early grouping images of CR liveried locos hauling LMS branded rolling stock, so scope for a 1923-5 theme for a layout is possible a little bit sooner, if that appeals (as it does to me!). All the best, Keith

    I see some good prices for 00 locos at Tony's Trains of Rugby, https://tonystrainsofrugby.com/collections/bargains including the EFE NCB J94 for £124.45: https://tonystrainsofrugby.com/collections/bargains/products/efe-rail-e85004-j94-saddle-tank-amazon-national-coal-board-green-weathered Lovely friendly shop too to visit, recommended. cheers, Keith

    Nice artwork there, I guess the next step is to plonk some track down in the space you have and see how it looks, and if any tweaking is required. Perhaps introduce a gentle curve rather than having the trackwork parallel to the baseboard edge? Good luck with the build. Welcome back to the modelling world! All the best, Keith

    I came across this great collection of images from the transition era taken by Graham Clark and featured by Alan Monk on Flickr, I thought it worth posting here as a resource for transtion era modellers and to start a thread others might wish to add to: Click on the image to get to the album on Flickr. cheers, Keith

    Looks great and nice era :-) Just a suggestion, on the position of the two road shed, to push this back a bit, to allow your locos to be stabled in front of the shed without fouling the points? Clearance may also be tight between the 3-way and the corner of the shed, so if it was pushed back it could be modelled half-relief? Good luck with the build. all the best, Keith

    Lovely layout this, the use of walls for the edging works really well, giving the impression of elevation. Could you say what the overall dimensions of the layout are? I've a spare six by two and would like to try something similar. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Keith

    Thanks for the inf, so really just 1965-68 for the Blue Grey liveried porthole stock, or were any still in BR service in this livery post 68? If so for how long? All the best, Keith

    Just the other day I passed by the "City of Coventry" nameplate and crest, still on the wall at Coventry station after all these years, hope it stays there or is placed somewhere safe and sound in the new station being built next to the 'old' new station: cheers, Keith

    Excellent thanks, this looks very good to me, a mix of the old and new, I think that fills a bit of a gap in the market for us D&E types. Cheers, Keith

    This is the thing, I have a Hornby LSWR van and a Kernow one on order, plus Hatton's generic coaches on order and have bought Hornby generics (in LSWR and LBSCR liveries), and similarly Rails' Terrier and Hornby's--they're complementary to me, as a purchaser, and run side-by-side. cheers, Keith
