The ‘ATG’ layout has been sold to a chap with an autistic 12yo son who is train mad. Bright lad!

I was touched by something that happened to me at the exhibition last Saturday.
An older lady, well over 80 at a guess, came over to me and said she was so taken with my boxfiles last year, she went out and bought one to create her own. She based hers on the station she used to play at as a child, Temple Hirst. (Now closed.)
To my mind it’s a work of art, that she’s achieved and she was, rightly, proud of what she had done.
I like to help other modellers whenever I can, but this one is something special.

There has been quite a lot of progress on the group layout in which I am involved. Here’s an image to give you the idea.
It may well be “finished” next year.

These are in a different league from the typical model railway that you might imagine.
Look how the locomotive has been prepared, it could be shiney and bright but instead it has seen some weather and thought has been given to the fact that the worst of the dirt would be on the roof and not the sides.

Should anyone be at a loose end in Selby on Saturday, there is a small, but perfectly formed, model railway exhibition in aid of charity, being held in the Superbowl from 10am to 4pm.
Come and say hello. I will be behind this:
Cheers

Exhibitions are thin on the ground at the moment so I thought I would keep my hand in…

The scenic work on our Hull-based 7mm layout is progressing well. This the latest on the left hand side (as viewed from the front).
