Now a challenging and provocative video of it in ‘Videos’: Semi-scale BR: almost the first train of spring 2020, should you fancy it.

This is really impressive. I'm amazed what people are able to scratchbuild. And I'm sure in some alternative reality, BR operated a network of narrow gauge lines, and built modified versions of the Standard class locos for them... Why not eh? Excellent work

Thank you very much. It’s built in much the same way as your Bagnall, there’s just a bit more of it.

In no time at all you’ll be pursuing an ever more ambitious building programme, with far more locomotives, rolling stock and the rest, than your railway could ever possibly require... But it’ll be fun - Happy building!

This sounds like thin ice territory, so I'm steering well clear! 😳😉
