Finally gettiing out of my system.
Hello Kevin. Good suggestions but I will probably stick with small locomotives. I have a number of BR London Midland locos. I fancy running some Jinties through a built-up scene. No ideas as yet but maybe something akin to the Inkerman Street layout built many years ago by the Model Railway Journal team.Terry

I think that I have hit on the perfect model railway. I should patent the idea before everybody else steals it.

Hello Peter. I envisage just a hill covered in grass with a solitary brick ventilation shaft in the middle. Every so often a puff of smoke emits from the shaft. I could automate the smoke emissions which would free me up at exhibitions to wander around and look at the other exhibits or frequent the refreshment area and spend all day reading railway books. Or I could just set it up on the Saturday morning, go off and do something more interesting and come back at five o'clock to turn it off. No need to waste money on expensive locomotives or other rolling stock. An additional advantage is that I would not have to engage in conversation with the great unwashed, most of whom appear to frequent model railway shows, present company excluded of course!.

That's exactly the layout I'd imagined Terry. :thumbs

Wives do have a way of making one feel the grindstone is never far away !
I surveyed the grass which, under normal circumstances, would be brown and shrivelled up at this time of year, but is still growing faster than I can cut it. I immediately realised yet another modelling day was about to be lost to chores. At least I can sit down on the job …….

Explore Youtube, some are available there, others for a fee.I always hope Rumpole would come back on over here, seeing as Leo McKern was an aussie.
BTW sorry for detour OT :off topic "Guilty m'lud".
"Oh no, never ever plead guilty!"
They've helped us stay sane thru these times :cool:

As mentioned once before it is Cambrian Model Rail's C50 - 10 ton five-plank wagon to Southern Railway Diagram 1380.
More soon.

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

Hello Bill,I've been admiring these road vans Terry, as they're delightfully different and a fine addition to Farleigh.
Bill
Not cheap at a tad under £35 but the detail is superb. For instance, the representation of the metal plate above left of the letter 'S', which was affixed to cover the area where the side lamps had previously been. This happened in the vans' later lives and is appropriate to the livery shown. Also, there is a representation of the label clip just above the van number, as well as all the brake gear beneath the vehicle.
Hello Kevin,
Now would be the time to contact Kernow again as they have taken delivery of the vans from China.
