I'm enjoying the progress again Andy. The lights are looking good. I reckon that cottage needs a ladder to get to the pub though!

Love that shot of the 40s.  Brilliant!

Hi Phil, some great videos on here, particularly like the 20s whistling away.  I was at Newbury last weekend and spent a happy few minutes just listening to a Hymek ticking over at Abbotswood.  Thank you!

Thanks for the encouragement, Dave. I see what you mean about the real. I spent some time on google earth, and found a number of features to include on a model.

As for memories, I was going back over the hundred odd pages of this thread. Your pictures of 37012 Loch Rannoch took me back to 1983 when I first visited the west highland line. We came up overnight on S19 from Bristol, to Glasgow, and that was on the 6am to Mallaig, paired with 37037, both in the same white stripe livery. Fantastic! Thanks for that.

Anyhoo, I shall have to go investigate starting my own thread for my new layout.

Cheers, Tony

Hi Dave, superb work here. You've inspired me to think about modelling a real location - I've never been brave enough before. Something with Deltics, I reckon. I'm researching Darlington. Let's see how I get on! Thanks for the fine modelling, Tony
