A quiet day in the sidings. Plus it’s perpetual June there, which means a pint of cider and a bowl of chips in the garden at the Cross Keys. #TMRGUK #BSMRGUK #modelrailway

Things were never the same when the class 50s were withdrawn. The 47/7s were a novelty for a while. Then the 159s came. It turns out they did a damn good job- and are still doing it to this day!
But. To me, the 50s were king on the Waterloo Exeter trains.

Some fantastic layouts at the #Cardiffmodelrailwayexhibition this year. The details on some of them were superb.

Sometimes I see #modeltrain weathering so good that if it wasn't for the fingers i'd think it was real. I don't think I ever get bored by how good so many modelers are at making tiny thing look big.

I'm setting most of my stock to roughly 2006, which means weathering and graffiti. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love finding cars on rrpicturearchive.net to make copies of. I've just finished a mural on a Railbox FMC boxcar, my favourite job so far. Weathering still to be done.

Privileged to join guests at Darlington station in the small hours of this morning, to welcome a replica of Stephenson's Locomotion No. 1 as it joined the Darlington-liveried @lner.co.uk Azuma train before recreating its journey to Stockton just as the original had 200 years previously to the day 🙌

I suspect those under & over moments at the bridge were always a big part of what made Dduallt so appealing as a layout - I hope Minffordd may have some of that magic for exhibition-goers, even if they’re not into the Ffestiniog or Cambrian Coast nostalgia.

History made! Today marked a big step forward for America’s railroads. Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern CEOs Jim Vena and Mark George officially signed the agreement to create America’s first transcontinental railroad, building on Abraham Lincoln’s vision from 163 years ago.

Interesting video: from 2m15s there is a really good demonstration of a flying switch. The first time I’ve come across one.

We’ve been in Paris this week and are heading home today.
Queuing for the Eurostar at Gare du Nord was a rather painful experience, but gave nice views across the platforms.

I've finally finished weathering my GTW boxcar, just the couplers and trucks to hit with the airbrush and I'll call it done. I haven't decided what Im doing with the second one yet - graffiti or just weather.
