Those pictures are epic dude. One problem I have though. Bus is not in scale!!!!! Ah well, I suppose a bus in the correct scale would cost a lot more & would be next to impossible to move

I love the shot of the train coming out of the tunnel mouth, it looks like the fence is part of the tunnel!  :lol:

And Hancockshire, I believe the bus is 1:18 (approx. 16mm scale), but as georges railway is G scale, it's larger, plus Accucraft are very big anyway  ;)

It seems a bit smaller than that to me. It looks 1:24 scale. Remember, I own a 1:18 scale car & it's near the same width of an Accucraft (I do my checks). Logically, a bus is wider & by saying that, it should be wider than the loco, which it isn't

Only one way to solve this...

George, what scale is the bus? Does it say underneath?

The Coach is a corgi classics Bedford OB Unfortunately it does not have scale on the box but it is appropriately main line o gauge and so is smaller scale than the train. but viewed from the right perspective (like the 5th photo down) is still very titfield thunderboltesk.

If it's made by Sunstar, it's 1/24th - still looks very nice though :D
