Fair Oak Junction

Wonderful shots!

That is great news! It'll be the first mag I've bought in years but worth it just for that.

It was in use yes. I watched Erlestoke breeze down Eardington Bank with the set on Saturday, which was nice to see.

Quite possibly yes, plus some earlier liveries require incredibly intricate details that would likely require specialists to do. But if it can be done, I feel it should.

Oh I agree 100%, I'm not a fan of the rebuilt light pacific being in SR livery. But there are many many MANY locos in preservation currently in BR livery that could accurately be in earlier liveries. The new build Brighton Atlantic is a good example. The condition it's been done in means it can't accurately carry LBSCR livery sadly, but it could carry SR livery which would be preferable over the BR lined black they've chosen to do it in. Thankfully the Patriot Project members voted for LMS Crimson as the first livery.

Yes, it's shame that BR livery still has such a strangle hold in the preservation world. I understand people who grew up with it wanting it, but for many of us born long after the steam era it represents the dark times. I'd take grouping and pre-grouping liveries any day over BR.

Oh that's a marvellous shot! I've just got back from Eardington where I managed to spot Erlestoke Manor, Hagley Hall, Fenchurch, and the Mogul. The Mogul was the highlight and the main reason I went, although she was pulling the LNER Teak set that Hagley had taken up just previously.

Watchet, definitely. Very nicely situated station right by the harbour, boat museum right next to it, lovely walk along the harbour front, and just along there is the Watchet Museum which has lots of nice stuff including a model of the West Somerset Mineral Railway.

A fantastic initiative, well done once again Accurascale!

That's excellent news, so pleased to know the range will live on.

That's great, really shows off so many of the wonderful details. And the various bits of vegetation are so effective!

Marvellous, and always nice to see a bit of Hymek action 👍

Nice to see the Malachite Nelson finally break cover FOUR YEARS after being announced!! 🤣 Hornby apparently emulating how Bachmann used to be 😉

There is nothing wrong with being proud of what you have achieved. If you can stand back, look at your modelling and think "that looks really good" then you've succeeded! And yes the scenic/background "join" is marvellously done, works perfectly 👌
