    Wonderful. The star of the show for me are the 'brambles and undergrowth'. Very, very, nice.

    I've had similar musings. I wonder if the techniques used in the "Pepper's ghost" illusion could be used? Perhaps for exhibition layouts only, but it may be possible to produce it on a smaller scale. It would be marvellous to see a train pull up at a platform and then have the 'ghosts' of the passengers and staff move about the platform and so on. The other alternative might be to use a looped video playing on a smartphone screen, which is then hidden inside a building so that the movement is visible through the windows?

      If that's the ProScale one, you're in for a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact, that you might be motivated to start your own range of state-of-the-art loco kits....

    Really impressed with this N-gauge stuff. Couldn't help mucking around with some layout planning software this evening and pondering if I should 'dip my toe'...

    My brother gave me an N gauge starter set for Christmas...

    I love stuff like this. I think its the sheer seat-of-the-pants feeling it has. Keep it up please.

    Thanks Gordon - useful stuff. O/T, sorry, but that excellent list is only a small indication to non-GW fans that the Great Western is far from 'done' as far as R-T-R locomotives are concerned. Railways didnt just spring into life, fully formed, on January 1st 1923!
