GBRF 100 on the Clitheroe Avonmouth today.

Doncaster to Newport today.

Sister Dora in a former life, light engine Exeter to Derby today.

At the risk of being predictable, Daventry to Cardiff DRS Supermarket sweeps through early today.

Daventry to Cardiff DRS Supermarket sweeps through 30 minutes later or so today....

Distracted again I am, in this hobby I believe you have to go with the flow model what inspires you today, even if that means a huge work in progress cupboard...... Anyway, not much progress on the layout again.... Bachmann FNA opened and flask scratch built, now where is my Mainline 46 locomotive....

DRS Berkeley waste today heading north with a couple of locos in need for a clean?

Cadoxton Quay has made progress in recent months with benchwork completed around my old Marley. The lower fiddle yard is finished and ramp up to the scenic section that I plan. Now I need to replace the benchwork over the top of the fiddle yard and progress the fun bit of adding structures and scenics. The way I will build this layout as it is my first fixed none exhibitable model is by adding buildings onto separate removable boards so I can model and detail in the warm as opposed to the currently sub zero garage. I am getting on you know. Watch this space......

Something a little different from the normal 68s on a 2 hour late southbound Bridgewater flask today...

18 months on from my last post on my "new project" and the bench work is finished.... What took me so long?

Late running day light southbound Berkeley flask today. Interesting container in tow, is this a top loader?

Westerleigh tank train looks superb. Keep up the great work. You will need a ticketing system when running sessions are offered.

Swindon-Hereford-Oxford-Birmingham-Swindon circuit today. Charlotte and Stella working hard....

Round Oak to Margam today.

It seems D1015 has gone to Avonmouth from SVR earlier for load testing on the north bound GBRf cement today. Dont get to excited north of Gloucester as it is coming of at New Yard?

A wonderful faded Beastie with a very late running Hope to Cwnbargoed empty coal train yesterday morning. It seemed to spend 3 hours waiting behind a Humber to Westerliegh fuel train near Burton. Dont think the Westerleigh train ever made it as it seemed to stop at Bescot and never left?

Superb photo there, I can see the green now. Really is a spot on Pway

More tanks, Westerleigh to Humber at lunchtime today...

Empty Cement heading north from Avonmouth

Me again with the Berkeley flask, pre 7am difficult light and mist at ground level but great skies. If I was a cloud spotter I would be happy with this photo...

Great to see the VGA. Cardiff to Burton today.... Roy Gould would be pleased to see EWS still running them....

The Berkeley waste train again, I cannot believe there are no posts on 68s since mine last week. Same rolling stock different locos, slightly different camera angle 39 steps up the foot bridge, lol.

Oppps yes, North Wales not Lanchashire, think I got the Avonmouth bit right? I was lucky I think it was the last run as 66778 seems to have been swapped now. The diagram seems to vary so much between the two cement works.

Track look great, the variation in colours and condition look spot on!!!! Love the weathering on the blue building too.

Certainly a lot there to get right. Feel sorry for the modellers out there trying to scratch build one first....
