As usual Rail-Ex NE was a great, well organised show and always attracts good D@E layouts
This year I had to see Blackmill and Diesels in the Duchy. It was a bit touch and go as I was on call all weekend and indeed I spent all Saturday night in Durham and all day Sunday in Belfast! so I felt quite lucky to have gone Saturday morning.
What can I say about Diesels in the Duchy that has not been said?? It really does look fantastic in the flesh, far better than any magazine spread or video can do. The buildings and greenery are sublime and all light from the cracking lighting rig (what bulbs are those?) illuminated it beautifully. I was stood next to Mr Gallon and we both commented on the flowing curves the layout had.
To all those involved, well done on a fantastic layout and thanks for bringing it to the North East. Below is a little video I did.
