Incase you missed it, our first module is complete! This was Ollie's entry into the Peco #RAIL200 competition, sadly it didn't place but we at least have a module!

Our first scenic module is slowly coming together!
Not much to report this week.... but I've added some telegraph poles! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

This week I've been doing things the Great Western way! Back in December I told Daughter No.1 I would make her a Duck for her layout (I had a Farish 57XX to hand). The main colouring has been done and just transfers and the face to finish off. #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular

The first module officially has some colour to it!
The #rail200 board has some colour! Base layer of scatter has gone down and it really transforms the look of the board. James looks right at home awaiting his bootlace! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge

Ollie has been progressing on his #RAIL200 challenge board, all being well this will become the first completed module for the project
The PECO #RAIL200 challenge is certainly coming together now! I've finished the land forming for the second embankment and had some scenics delivered that has allowed me to get this section ballasted. Next step is to mod-roc the hills!

This makes 3 modules now with track on!
The PECO #RAIL200 challenge continues! Ends swapped, Cork down and track swiftly followed! Even had some help from Daughter No.1 and No.2. Lots to do!! #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular

Looks like the Modular is going to be even bigger!
My Peco Rail200 board has been built! I'm going to be doing the Scenic version and use it as an excuse to make another module for the Thomas Modular layout! This will become the field where James broke his vacpipe and needed a bootlace!

This week Ollie has been busy and the remaining track laid on the Tunnel Module. This module is of Henry's Tunnel and will feature both portals. Next job for this is to wire up the track and give it a test! #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular #Ttte

Gordon now has a full rake!
Following on from last week... I've now finished off the other 2 Green Express Coaches! Gordon now has a full rake of 3 done in the style of Series 2! Just got to make some for a friend now!

Some new stock for the layout!
This week has seen the next piece of rolling stock finished, the first Green Express coach for Gordon! This has been done in the style seen in series 2 and matches my Red ones down last year. Another Comp and Brake are in the works and should be done soon.

Modular progress! I've finally built the last board for the Tunnel module so I can crack on with track laying... so I have done! Main junction by the east portal has been laid as have some of the main running lines. #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte

More tracklaying going on at Ollie's place!
A little bit more done on the modular layout this week. Most of the work has involved getting wires soldered on to the points to speed up the eventual track laying session. Although I did get the first section down on the first tunnel board so we're on our way! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte

Ollie has got his portion of the layout set up to allow work to continue! Watch this space!!
A tidy garage has meant the Modular can now be set up properly! This has allowed me to start planning the final track plan for the tunnel board. Only 1 slight mishap with a cross beam where a point motor needs to go, an easy fix at least! #Thomas #Ttte #NGauge #HenrysTunnel

This is what Ollie is planning for 2025, what about you?
What to hopefully expect from me in 2025! Full details of each in the pics below!
What's on your list this year?

Ollie's collection is slowly building up! We beat crack on with the layout so we have somewhere to run them!
In preparation for the 2025 'to-do' list I've been doing a stock take of the Thomas collection....
Currently at 51 items in a completed state!
6 locos, 12 coaches and 33 wagons.
Definitely starting to get pretty sizeable now, but room to let this grow! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge #ttte

Happy New Year to all of our followers! 2025 is a big year railway wise with both the Railway200 celebrations alongside the 80th anniversary of the Railway Series! I'm sure we'll find a way to celebrate both on here! #newyear #2025 #railway200

Merry Christmas one and all. Hope Santa brought you some train related goodies!

New locos destined for the Modular Layout!
We've had some new arrivals on the modular layout! @bachmanntrains Gordon and Emily have joined the fleet and what lovely models they are! Gordon is certainly a beefy one! So the Fleet is now at 6 locos, I really need to crack on with the express coaches!

Ollie has continued on the modular layout. He's built the second board for the tunnel module (minus a couple of cross braces as he has run out of Timber). So this is the current state of play, once the final tunnel board is built tracklaying can continue.

So for those who it may interest. We discovered today that Tomy Knapford station roof is perfect size for a recreation of Knapford in N Scale! If anyone has 6 more of them to hand than we're very much interested! #TMRGUK #NGauge #Thomas #Ttte #Knapford

Ollie's express coach project has expanded a little with Pete asking for some to be done too!
What have I let myself in for?! In addition to the three Green Express coaches I'm doing for myself, I've agreed to do another 5 for @king6023.bsky.social 2 red and 3 green! Yeah this has now turned into a major project!

Ollie has been continuing work on his Express Coaches
Work on the express coaches has continued. Job one was to clean up the windows, this meant removing the lines and class labels along with the painted droplights. A tedious job! Also finished the stripping so the three have had a first Primer coat. #NGauge #Thomas #ttte #Express #Gordon

Ollie has started work on some new stock for the Modular layout. He posts weekly updates on a Sunday about his progress.
So the word on the grapevine is that a certain Blue engine is arriving incredibly soon, therefore I thought he needed something to pull when he arrives! Time to start the green express coaches!!
Like my red one these will be based ofg Sereis 2 prototypes #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge

The first module built for that layout is all laid, wired and ready for scenery! This particular module will be the 'three track bend and signal box' seen in Series 1. You can see our modular end plates that will ensure all modules match up
