Amnesiac Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Lichfield City Station prior to most of its track being ripped up offers quite an interesting base for a layout to me and a station I’m currently researching because of that! 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like everywhere I look at the moment I see Presflos. I'm itching to buy some of those lovely Ellis Clark Presflo models, but can't really justify them on my layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on taking RBE's approach of shortening where possible like on his Burton On Trent, set in the late 70s and early 80s though. I did not, I'll have to look out for that!

It's an LNER-designed Tube. The LNER had two designs of Tube. One sort had full dropside doors. The other had no doors at all, and so had to be unloaded by crane. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
