Really like this layout! I love the simplicity of the plan which I think looks very prototypical. I was wondering how you operate it, is there a timtable or card system and how interesting is it to operate. Hope I get to see it in the flesh sometime.

Just looked through the thread and got to say the work and layout is stunning! Can I ask what glue do you use to stick plastic to card or to stick down the brick papers you use?
Think I've said this about some of your weathering but James you should write a book!
Hope I get a chance to see Loftus road in the flesh.

Maybe a silly question but is this the 'countess of warwick class' 0-6-0? Hope so, had a little drive of one at the North Norfolk Railway the other week and like to get a model.

Thanks for the reply's. I've definitely got some to look for now! My preference would be the GER/ER of British Rail and it would be good to read about some Diesel era memories as well.
If I find anything I'll post it on here.

I recently bought this from a second hand shop and really enjoyed it. It's the story of one mans life on the Great Eastern Railway. The first time I've actually read a railway book as opposed to look at pictures! I was wondering if anyone can recommend any similar type of book.

I've only just caught this thread and have to say what a fantastic layout this is. Apologies If I've missed this in the thread but how did you do the inlaid track? That is amazing! Also is the digger by the coal drops a kit?

Love the picture of the 08 going to the wagon works, really modelable, does anyone know if there's any photo's of he wagon works anywhere? just done a google search and couldn't find anything.

Looking good Andy, the backscene really works well, I'd love to know how you painted it. Did you do a piece on one of your other threads, I seem to remember seeing something somewhere?
Cheers
Steve
I really enjoy this thread and always look for the daily update. Today seemed extra special, exactly how I remember the trains I used to see. I remember waiting for a train to London or Southend and seeing the 47's and 37's thundering through Romford in the late 70's. Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing.
