There's a rather good video on YouTube of the T Gauge HST running as a 6-car set. I love the way it just vanishes into the landscape...

Details and pictures here: http://www.tgauge.co.uk/product/109/0/br-inter-city-125/e5387330c9aa607f56592969a238f7bc T Gauge seems to be really growing in popularity and the quality of some of the newest models no longer puts it in the novelty executive toy category. With the right controller, the trains are responsive with good slow-speed running, so the first RTR UK item can only be a good thing.

Likewise, appreciate the update, Dave. Just a shame they look so bloomin' good!

Those look really top-notch, particularly the Inter-City Executive version. Hopefully, there'll be a matching TRFB and TGS to enable a full correct rake to be assembled.

Dave, those pictures are awesome - you've really got the cluttered WCML look down to a tee! many thanks for letting me use them for the ERG site.

I can see some serious 150-bashing potential there, Alan! Might be after a set or two of these myself :-) Are you planning on doing etches for the 210 / early 317 side windows ( or, indeed, the whole thing)?

That's looking really good. Out of interest, I've been approached to do some vinyl sides for the 310/312 in 4mm, which may make the conversion easier.

I've just taken on a 6x2 N Gauge roundy-roundy layout, courtesy of eBay. It appears to be suffering from long-term storage but looks pretty sound and in need of some TLC to make presentable again. I'm fed up with photographing ERG stuff against a plain background and would like something a little more scenic. The main concern has to be the eye-watering radius of the curves, which totally preclude anything six-axled running round. A re-design may be required, so I'd be open to suggestions! Overall view, as received. Farish 47 and Mk1 on the girder bridge Tunnel section. The freight stock came with the layout, along with lots of buildings and a GF GWR coach! Grappa the Staffordshire finally discovers model trains. Better be careful where I leave stuff! Get off my bed...

How about a semi-imaginary DMU? If the Cambridge - St.Ives line was refurbished, rather than turned into a guided busway then, who knows, we might have had WAGN-operated Class 150s, a bit like this... The actual model is my trusty 150/2 testing out some 317 DTC graphics for a customer special commission.

Actually, it looks like a 2 or 4-EPB Driving car. Seems too long for a 501. I'll check my drawings later to count the window bays. ISTR the MTK / Fleetline EMUs are slightly under-length for the GF Mk1.

Thanks, Alan. I might put this on the ERG website when I next update but wouldn't want to upset my more sensitive readers. I have a bit of a thing about spiders and that picture gives me the willies!

Can I have a copy of that picture for my "web"-site?

The joys of the global marketplace....

I guess that'll see the Minitrix Brits hitting eBay. Looks like they've done a grand job again!

I'm looking forward to 86401. Got a whole load of stripped Mk1 shells waiting for NSE "Cobblers" treatment.

A little while ago, I played around with some "what-if" designs for pre-war LNER diesel traction...

Looking very nice Grahame but where will the third rail go??

Really liking those Electrostars! It's a shame that the Valley Lines scheme was replaced with monotonous Arriva blue

The Dragon Rapide has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing planes ever to fly. Lovely photos - thanks for sharing!
