    Sounds great Mick. If it wasn’t for the 380 mile round trip I would love to have attended. Cheers. Bill.

    Another stunning photo Tom. Do you exhibit you layouts? Regards, Bill.

    Surprised they have chosen to do 47712 in Scotrail considering the same loco was a regional exclusive release (Northwest) a couple of years back with the original tooling.

    The damage and corrosion looks really effective on 37225. Enjoying following your rapid rate of progress James! Cheers. Bill.

    Must only be running between Bewdley and Arley or Highley as it has done at least 5 to return trips a day (and has just gone past the house again towards Bewdley.

    Hi all. last couple of days a steam loco has been regularly running up and down the line light engine. I’m assuming it is visiting the railway for some sort of shakedown testing? Sadly I’m just a bit too far away to see what the loco is but don’t recognise it as one of the “home fleet” Anyone know what the loco is, there is nothing on the WTT. Regards, Bill.

    Train tickets booked. Same here, last pre-pandemic exhibition visited was MRS 2020. This will be the 1st exhibition visited since. Looking forward to it.

    Was informed by a local model shop owner the other day that Bachmann have dropped the mid range option (sound fitted but no working fans or fancy windscreen) for future Class 47 releases so only DCC ready or SFX options will available. Can any one confirm if this is correct? Cheers, Bill.

    Only just come across this topic. Absolutely stunning modelling (and photography) Thank you for a couple of hours enjoyable reading. I do like the story that goes with the cameo photos which draw you in even further. Regards. Bill.

    Hi Simon. Looks incredible and from reading the posts on here, it has been very well received. I’ve not had the chance to travel to Wakefield to see HLJ due to work commitments, but looking forward to when the layout goes on display in the Midlands. Out of interest, how many visitors did you have through the door at Wakefield? I know it would be difficult to put an exact number on this but what proportion of those do you think would be railway modellers Vs general public? Regards, Bill.

    What great photos! Interesting that the signal box at some point has been replaced with a austerity / wartime design. Thank you again for sharing the photos and plan.

    Really enjoying this topic. I grew up around Hull, Holme on Spalding Moor and Patrington before moving to the East Midlands in 1986. Would love to see any photos of the stations and Patrington and Holme on Spalding Moor if anyone has any? Regards, Bill.

    Looks great! The sectional concrete roadway looks very effective. Where did you get the raised concrete walkway and Portakabin from? Regards. Bill.

    Same here, looking forward to centre head code Scottish headlamp 37/0’s being announced. That is going to get expensive!!

    Nice video Rob. The 37 sounds fantastic. What sound chip / speaker combination are you using? Cheers. Bill.

    Hi all. Had a call from Trevor’s wife this morning to arrange a refund. It is looking highly likely that the Gauge O Guild will taking on The Dingham range. Regards Bill.

    Hi Marc. Very interested in your couplings. I did have an outstanding order with Trevor. We were discussing the pros and cons of Dinghams yesterday as a couple of people in our group use them and I planned to use them on my current project (4mm) From the discussion, the main drawback seems to be size of the loop which it looks like you have already addressed. Please do keep us updated with progress. if you need anyone to test out prototypes, I will be happy to help! Cheers, Bill.

    Very sad to hear that Trevor has decided to stop trading due to ill health. I do wish him all the very best. Will follow the replacement for Dingham couplings thread. We were discussing Dingham couplings at our local workshop group meeting yesterday, a couple of the guys that use did mention that the loops could with being a little bigger to give a little more tolerance.
