Afraid not ... but I did see the Weaver Hill layout at the GCR show earlier this year - very impressive and action packed layout. I remember seeing 87002 in the current Caledonian livery.

That ok, it means there are more WCML modellers out there able to run virgin/ BR sector.

Only 12 class 90s?

You could get at least 18 if you double head the container trains!!

Do you lend stock to weaver hill?

Great idea about the trap door corner panels!

Great looking layout!

What are the dimensions?

How many fiddle yard roads do you have per circuit?

DC or DCC?

It looks like you have researched each train to make it accurate!

Kissing horses! What next! (In the photo with the Dutch class 47)

Great lot of information here. All very useful for any multiple unit build.

Keep it coming!

The boards are stored in racking in the club house. This allows anything we have glued to the boards to still be place when we return next week!

Have to get the mower out now!

A taste of things to come maybe?

Looking good!

I had some hurst kits, so I am using the sides for a pattern to cut the Hornby ones up. Using plastic card and old plastic bottles to make new ends.

It probably will not be 100% accurate, but the Hornby model was not in the first place!

More photos from Leicester

No prizes for guessing this location!!

56038 Fertis grey, 56018 Fertis grey, 56104 ex large logo grey. Green 0-4-0 shunter. (Anyone know what this is?)

These were being moved from the sidings near the mainline to the shed at the back.

The Fertis engines are meant to be out of service. 56104 was reported as working. I guess these will be taken for Gbrf.

Just seen some going north through Leicester station.

Magnificent!

Can you do a panoramic photo or video of the entire layout as that would be great to see all your work together?

Do you still not have a fiddle yard for continuous running and accessing the Freightliner/ TMD?

Looking interesting! At least you will not have to put expansion gaps in with this hot weather! (As long as you do not have air con in your railway room!)

Good you are making progress in the hot weather. I see you have the emergency pool for when it gets too much!

Sorry to rattle the cage. In the year and a half you have built this layout, all I have done is read about your wonderful work.

I think your mojo is just have a rest!

Following your story, your actually built layouts to try ideas.

Whilst other people make drawings of layouts on backs of old envelopes and spend hours reading RmWeb of other peoples layouts. But never get to a near completed layout themselves.

You have a great talent.

I just need to put into practice what I have read in your pages!

I will be looking forward to the next chapter of this great work of art!

Is this layout for sale? Just seen one very similar on a certain website.

Thanks that is great information. I will pass it on to my club for our 3rd rail mainline layout.

Watch out! You might scrap it all and start modelling Japanese N gauge!!

Great!

Where did you get the transfers for the repainted Hornby tankers?

Also what plastic card did you use for the second strip of plastic card on the platform? Part number description please.

MJT brass overlays for EMUs have some open window frames.

You just have to remember when you fit glazing strips to cut out the missing glass!!

I had an private ebayer seller send me two Lima boxed coaches. The only ‘packaging’ was cling film wrapped around the two boxes to make a parcel! The models arrived intacted. The ploystrene and cardboard on the boxes still in good condition.

My local post office must not be into ball sports!!

Fabulous!

What colours did you use for the seats and floor?
