      It's complicated but I tried to buy the first lot but was beaten by a few minutes and then he told he was putting another lot up for sale I quickly offered to buy them when it was posted but my message was ignored never mind I've just had a present from Hattons a weathered blue 128!!

    Just got back from Harry Potter world and I was amazed at the level of modelling for Hogwarts castle !!

      Excellent isn't it.A bit dark to fully appreciate the finer details though.

    2. CovDriver

      CovDriver

      Totally agree but it's inspiring for anybody to make a decent model from scratch I think (watch this space) a 4mm scale model of Coundon Road box is in the pipeline I think?

  19. CovDriver
    That working had just come through New st I took the photo as we was running side by side all the way to Grand Junction the driver seemed very happy in his work as we passed him but the engine side door just seemed to be open as it was closed again when I passed it the next day while it was stabled at Kings Norton Colas depot. Cheers Cov Guard Colin

    I'm looking forward to seeing this in the flesh for the first time on Saturday I've always kept an eye on this layout it's right up my street. Did someone say there loco's are all in boxes I've got a Dapol western that's in need of a quick run all weathered an sound fitted but as I've no layout at the moment could I be cheeky and ask for a test run of her?
