More dabbling in different scales/gauges
Hi Ed. Thank you for your reply. Is that why EM fans faff around with wheels axles and track? and don’t rate the attempts of OO Modellers. To me that is worse than Rivet Counting. Best wishes Kevin

EM and P4 modellers are doing their own thing, which is great for them and good luck to 'em.
Personally, I only want to represent a railway that looks good to me, I ain't bothered if it isn't exactly a scaled down version of the real thing.
Life's too short.

Done with my phone and a bit out of focus, very little light in here and I forgot it will be getting dark earlier today.

Nearly time to play with static grass.

However, I have bought a couple of bit of rolling stock which are special editions by AGR models of Leighton Buzzard. (normal disclaimer).
A mail van and most recently a 'Private' Observation Coach, which arrived yesterday.
AGR Model Railway Store
Took a picture yesterday, but it's cold and dark in the garage, so I didn't want to stay out there too long.
The camera flash has made the mail van look orange for some reason :hmm

Had to spray contact cleaner on a couple of the points, but otherwise Skarloey has run along quite happily.
Got to be something to do with the graphite I've used on the rails, must stop them tarnishing quite so much when the layout isn't in use.
So a big yipee.

I'm afraid they're a bit dark and out of focus, but it's the best I can do with where the layout is in the kitchen.
First, an overall view.
I'm not sure the trees to the left of the warehouse backs will stay, for the moment they're just plonked there.

View from above the water tower towards the industrial siding and fiddle yard.

View from the bridge towards the station.
You might be able to make out some coal pens behind the station, again they're plonked an may not stay.
(Static grass didn't turn out too bad)

Finally the industrial siding.
The shed and tree on the left may not stay, can't make up me mind
![:lol:](https://yourmodelrailway.net//themes/default/images_custom/lol.gif)
You can see a coach behind them, which is actually in the fiddle yard.

Thanks Claus, all a bit of a learning curve.
