I used to love it as a nipper when Dad used to let me get up to watch the snooker with him late at night. Always in black and white. Thanks for stimulating the memory recall. Brian

The ending of the Peterborough show was a great loss as it was always a cracking show but sadly all the Warners shows are way out of my range for travelling and I’d given up on the NEC as it was out of my range financially and sadly physically.

I think it’s more Auto corrupt than correct at times Nick

Let’s hope the Squadron Leader doesn’t go into a full blown Robert Shaw mode ………. Brian

Only one word can describe this layout - Exquisite Brian

And what’s on your list for after lunch Kevin?

There are several videos available on You Tube Bob. Just put Liverpool Lime St Model Railway into search.

I always spent a lot of time watching Lime St whenever it was at a show where I was, and I have been in awe ever since I first saw it when it was in its infancy at the East of England Showground. My last viewing was at Warley before lockdown and having worked out where it was in the Hall I made a beeline for it and had quite a bit of time in front of it before the crowds built up. Gentlemen. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece and for your heroics with taking this on the road. It has been much appreciated. I wish you and the layout all the best for the next chapter and wait with bated breath for the videos to keep us up to date with developments. Brian

You forgot to add the Muhahahahahaha

And before the compensation culture had arrived.

Sounds like me with coffee

Lovely to see this layout’s return. Always think this was one of Andy’s best. Looking forward to seeing more. Brian

I would think scratchbuilding one of the local buildings would be an interesting exercise.

Does it glow in the dark?

Looking forward to giving this lubricant when it’s available.

When I was experimenting with Dapol Ez couplings on one of my N gauge layouts I read somewhere that putting a small piece of foam between the wagon floor and the axle was a way of overcoming this issue. I haven’t tried this myself but just offer it as a snippet of information that someone out there shared Brian

Clearly very well trained seagulls though with such careful and considered placement.

Do I spy activity where the door used to be suggesting something is about to happen, while another “workman” adopts a traditional pose while holding the second door in place?

I love the natural metallic sheen you’ve created on the plumbing. Very nice indeed. Brian

We hear what you say …….. but

Pat on the head! No chance if you’ve been trying all those flat caps on. Brian

In my head I am still in my mid 30’s but the old bod is not so easily fooled having reached the life stage that Billy Connolly coined. You know your old when getting out of the chair provokes an “oooooh ya Buddha”

Good job the pump wasn’t despatched in a crate otherwise the WKT would stand no chance of completion. Brian

Absolutely awesome photos Thank you for sharing them. Brian
