    COVID-19 has changed everything and we have to ask whether things will ever be the same again. I agree with the points raised about the bigger shows. On the plus side, they have a greater variety of everything, but travel to and from is a challenge (I prefer not to think of it as a problem). The smaller ones are the very opposite and I look forward to going to my local show in Cheltenham again, but when? Stephen

    Noel I look forward to seeing your short videos in the future featuring Gort. Stephen

    Noel Surely the loop in the goods yard allows access to the goods shed while wagons are at the loading bay immediately next door. Stephen

    The electric services were limited to the line between Horsted Keynes and Haywards Heath. Stephen

    And then you’ve got the likes of the Second Severn Crossing, which is now toll-less ‘cos it’s been paid for. Stephen

    I believe the modern way of responding to such people is ‘you’re entitled to your opinion but not your facts’. Carry on the excellent work. You have to look very closely at your photos to realise how small everything actually is. Stephen

    Some lovely detail in these photos. Is Gort where old 30 ton brake vans went to die? Stephen

    Which Irish loco is next on your list? Stephen

    Tony A lovely selection of some very fine model railways. Have you ever come across Blueball Summit, a rather fine 2mm layout? It’s worth it. Stephen

    Absolutely stunning. Stephen

    I like the 0-6-0DH. Are there any details anywhere of its construction? Stephen

    Jonathan The story on the bigger of these two islands is oh so similar, including a realisation that the car is not the answer long term. Dunno about the little island but train travel in the big island is expensive! Stephen

    Surely that’s the real thing, isn’t it? Stephen

    As Mr Wright of this parish likes to point out, Lincolnshire hosted the highest point on the whole of the ECML, quite an achievement for a county better known for its flatness. The hilly bits are nice, though, with local stone the same as that in the Cotswolds and further south. Stephen

    An interesting exercise in make believe. Stephen

    I’d be interested to know a bit more about what you did to the flat bottom points to make them more or less match the bullhead points. Stephen

    Tony Very impressive haulage. Stephen

    Some lovely stuff there JHB. Stephen

    I agree with Clearwater, Sydney Gardens is a delightful layout, one of those where you can just stand and watch trains go by. Stephen

    Tony I’ve seen your attempt at reproducing Essendine. As you say, some of the curves are a tad on the tight side but, overall, I thought it quite convincing. Stephen

    You’ll enjoy seeing it in the flesh. Stephen

    John Keep up the good work. Irish modellers are getting spoilt these days with the choice. Stephen

    Nice, smooth running - very impressive. Stephen

    Robert I’ve just come across this and I have to say what a lucky chap you are to have care of Minsterley. I saw it a number of times at my local exhibition in Cheltenham and each time was a delight. The other layout that was equally delightful was Mullion, Peter’s take on Helston. I believe he sold it to a chap in Holland who used to keep Peter updated on his layout. Stephen

    We haven’t seen any recent updates. Are things still progressing ok with Gort? Stephen
