"How to build a model railway"

Post by philipy » Fri Feb 22, 2019 7:46 am

I've just come across this on the Beeb.
Some very fine modelling, even if some of the write-up is a bit "ignorant journalist" in style!

I've not seen it in person, but from the photographs that is an extraordinarily fine layout! My favourite detail is perhaps the only thing that isn't authentic - on the John Menzies newsstand, the last headline under the counter reads "Alloa Layout Ready At Last".

Very nice! All the track is hand-built, amazing!

Great layout, thanks Phillip for posting.

I could watch videos of trains all day, whether it's N Gauge right through to the real things, but needs must....
