To mark 35 years since the Channel Tunnel breakthrough, here's a timelapse taken from the back cab of a eurostar train. 50 kilometres in about 50 seconds.

Following the weekend running session Fareford East , here's a collection of late 80s throwback highlights courtesy of Max Nash. Thanks Max, Lyndon and SBJ for the catch up rounding off all that was great in 2025, the shows, the collaborations and the laughs. Enjoy... 😉

#ModelWorldLIVE - my most challenging model yet. At the time, only the cabs and sides/roof were available and this kit required some creative work to get it to fit together squarely. I also have 2nd one in my to-do box but I doubt I'll get near that anytime soon, lol. #VariousMultipleUnits #bsmrguk

#ModelWorldLIVE - Great Eastern Class 312 AC Electric. I was extremely fortunate to get this kit, in exchange for building a commission (thanks), and it takes pride & place within my collection despite being out of Region, Yeah, rule 1 applies 😂.

#WhatsOnTheWorkbench - I am surprised that neither the BR or SR Bulleid 4EPBs are available in RTR form, especially given their widespread use across the Southern Region. That said, I did cheat a little on my builds. Who said cheats never prosper 😂

Here is my oldest and my latest. My Lima Class 33 was gifted to me back in the early 80s. I learned to add detailing and do all sorts of enhancements I would never had risked on a £180 Heljan one. Good luck with your projects and aspirations for 2025 😊

Bachmann - What are the chances of you announcing Class 442s and/or 313s in your new tooling announcements this Friday at midday???
Everyone is shouting slim (and a few expletives), but I'm kinda hopeful for one of them at the very least!

#WhatsOnTheWorkbench - I am made up with the new Accurascale Mk2C TSO(T). The detailing, paintjob and interiors are best in class. Only gripe is the shiny black roofs, I've repainted with Humbrol Matt Dark Grey No. 67 +matt varnish. It's now ripe for some weathering.
