Very nice B) Well done! Where did you get the break cylenders and chains from?

I really like this layout. Well done.

The Hornby 50 came out in 2004. Doesn't time fly!

Interesting track plan. It's not very often that you see a triangle modeled. I look forward to seeing this develop.

Thanks

I didn't know that Bruce. It shows one can never stop learning!

Excuse my ignorance. Although I appreciate steam locomotives, I'm more of a diesel man (although, ironically when I first got interested in trains many years ago it all started with steam trains ). I've just spent a couple of hours reading through this topic. And I'm in need of some clarification.... The version with red frames that the NRM have done, I understand that the model portrays the locomotive as it was until it's recent repaint. But would that version be the same as the post-1985 livery she carried? Also, the version with black frames is how the locomotive is painted now. But would that also be the same livery it was painted in 1962? Sorry if this may have been discussed before - although I can find no reference of it in the previous 20 pages.

That was 50049.

I've skimpped on baseboard construction in the past and it's always come back to bite me - it always does sooner or later. If i were you, before you get any track down, I'd build some proper baseboards....

I really like this layout. The drivers view video was amazing! B)

Can we have some more pics please Chris? B)

It's a railtour, hence the blue/grey mk2

Yes! I got a "popular star"

I took this pic earlier this evening, but as I didn't like it I deleted it.... I'd been thinking about it all evening, so fortunatly I was able to get a copy of it off my camera.
