If you model more than one, vote for your favorite and explain.
Comments on your vote, as always, are encouraged, as well as adding more detail (E.g. GWR, Cambrian coast line)

It was my intention to be around the final days of steam leading into diesels with freight stock from many years.
But lately with fine running locos appearing in later colours or versions,etc, I see my layout slowly becoming GWR/WR & the rest.
( It would help if certain shops did not go & get Special editions made as well)

Also model UK steam - sort of GWR, but I'm the first to admit I'm no historian.
I have one Aussie diesel too.

Maybe with the proof that I can do a layout will give you all some hope that one of these will go somewhere. :roll:

That gives me scope to run GWR locos, many of which never did get repainted in BR colours, as well as early diesels which were seen side by side for some time.
This forum must be having some effect on me though, because I have a walthers Union Pacific diesel and have a strange urge to buy some of Chris's limited edition models (as well as other diesels) which never crossed the River Severn :!:

Why, well, amongst all of the atmosphere of summer saturday seaside specials and charming rural branchlines, clanking great South Wales coal trains and huge regional stations…. there was/is a lot of RTR GWR N scale… pull it out of the box and run it , tiny 0-4-2 tanks to hulking great 4-6-0 Kings, coaches, autocoaches, diesel railcars, wagons, brakevans:!:
I'll probably have a go at kit/scratchbuilding rolling stock later on, but it would have been a quiet railway if I'd waited until then.

There is an awful lot of stock which came nowhere near Cornwall as well, and in the period from GWR to present day…

Due to cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

Not that it affects me but what about those who model Aust,NZ, etc?
What category would they go under?
Good point and one I should have included, perhaps as "other lines".
I can't adjust the poll choices (I don't think) but I believe that Bob can.
If so can you dothe honours, Bob :?:
Will possibly be useful for future reference.

Again like Mike C, great range, affordable and better running and coupling (in my opinion)

Being from the north of England, LMS/LNER were the everyday workhorses around me all the time and wonderful they were too, but the Western, and their neighbours the Southern, meant holidays, excitement, beautiful loco's, sunshine, summer days trainspotting, seaside etc etc etc - a combination made in heaven. 8) 8) 8)
