Great pic's there. I think I've said before, how your back scene blends in so well. If so, I'll say it again.
Cheers Pete.

Playing catch-up here as I've not been on the site much lately.WOW!!! That loco is an absolute beauty! It reminds me of a Stanier mogul that's been stretched,but there is a strong element of an Ivatt 'Mickey Mouse' in there too! I know it never existed in reality,but its a damn shame it didn't! Superb modelling as usual.
Cheers,John.B.

Your "photo studio" looks fabulous - I think I may have asked before but is the track hand built ?

Thanks - the track is C&L 00 bullhead and the points are Peco large radius bullhead, having replaced Code 75 Streamline FB with added chairs over the last two years. They still aren't really prototypical, and I almost went for the Finetrax point kits, but the Unifrogs work perfectly and it would have meant a lot of disruption to adjust the point motors to suit the different geometry, plus I am aware of the fact that the decades are far behind me now and I have to stop this continual altering and building and get on with what I have…. Having said that, I am very pleased with the improvement in looks of the trackwork with the larger radius compared to the previous medium ones. Here are a couple of shots showing the new set up.

I really like the look of those points without hinges. That alone makes them more realistic.
