Looking forward to seeing this develop, nice start.

It was really busy in the morning, I didn't see the two guys on the computer I may have missed them. I'm not a n gauge fan but thought the layout along the Dawlsh/Teignmouth coastline with warships and westerners running brought back a lot of happy memories for me. Pity it wasn't in oo gauge I'd have been over the moon. Hope you enjoy the Mansfield show on Sunday.

Andy ignore that last request I've found it, thanks

Our paths keep crossing I went to the Sileby show on the Saturday as well, I thought it was excellent. I've not seen the Mansfield show advertised can you let me know where it's being held at please Andy I'll try and get over on Sat morning if the two on over 2 days.

Andy thanks for the excellent report on this show. I normally go to the Trowell show as it is only 5 mins from my house. The reason I didn't is that it's a small venue and last year it got really busy. I decided to go to the Lincoln show ground one instead and was really pleased that I did. You should try it next year, spacious and not very crowded. It did get busy over lunch but eased in the afternoon. It's the first time I've been there and will definitely go again. Keep up the good work as I enjoy reading your reports.

Thanks for the reply Steve, I thought that would be the case and can't blame you. I've been reading through the blog and you have done a tremendous job, the westerns and hymeks have always been my favourites and your models are superb. Thanks for up dating me on the 00 gauge version and for letting me know that Paul is on here, I will seek him out.

Hi Steve. I saw the 00 version of Ranleigh bridge at Derby roundhouse last year and was most impressed I think they were from Cardiff area, my question is will you be showing your layout once it's finished or I will it be for home use only?

Just found this blog and I too have been thinking ( over 2 years now) about making the move up to 0 gauge, I like how you have gone about this and wish you good luck.

Nice introduction it made me smile, like you I'm within afew miles of Toton the class 25's have gone now and been replaced by 66's but it's still a huge depot. You've stayed loyal to green diesels and I'm wondering if further down the line you might undertake one of those in 7mm? It's a scale I've thought about on a couple of occasions but alas I stick to blue diesels in '00' . I'm going to follow your journey not to learn something which I undoubtedly will with all the skills you have picked up but more in the hope that your inspiration for 0 gauge rubs off on me and inspires me to have a go at a larger scale. Love your work area.

Looking good so far, sorry if I missed it what is the size of the layout?

Thanks for the welcome rob, some great pictures, good luck with the show. Any other confirmed dates for this year?

Hi Rob I really like the hoarding boards idea to help hide the low level exit into the fiddle yard. Any plans in the pipeline for the exit on the high level?
