Very nice, the dock area looks good and that's quite a collection of small locos you've got

Everything is just superb and I particularly love the railbus.

Many thanks. It was just too tempting not to mess about with this Sunstar Bedford OB, as there´s lots of room for batteries etc.

Thanks. I´m afraid the collection is growing, though still not all lined out.

Whats the loco to the right in that photo? Is it a commercial one or a one off. Lovely Collection!

Assuming that you´re referring to the photo with the St Trinians girls, then it´s a 7 ton Decauville, made (on a one-off basis) by a German chap called H.D. Clemens. Best to Google. All in German, so if need any help, get in touch.

New arrival and birthday present from Ms K&NWLR (if only she knew), an ELR live steam coal-fired NGG 16 - more use outside.

Don´t think I´ve posted pics of the Swift Sixteen steam tram with lining out by Geoff of Lightline. Wide-ish kind of model, and it has trouble with one of my platforms. But rebuilding the station is in order to accommodate this fantastic kit.

Just been on your website. I like the railway

Looks as though it´s been there longer than 2012 on that trip. More pics

Oh, DROOL!!!!!!!!! I expected the kit to look good, but this one is absolutely stunning!
It makes up into a beautiful model anyway but with that painting and lining it shouts out 'Look at me!'
Star of the show for me.

I thought so too! Best new loco of the year at Peterboro 2013 in my humble opinion

I´m going to line out the edges of the access hatches on the skirts in black, I think.

It is beautiful butit so needs a driver and a matching trailer car!

Driver can be dealt with. As for the trailer car, I fancy a double decker, but the only kit that I can see is made by Occre in 1:24. It´s an LCC tram, which but could be built into a trailer, I think. Someone did a fantastic scratch build of one at Peterborough last year (or the year before) I believe in the Accucraft competition. Made me very jealous.

I have a scratch built double decker which I may have entered in MOTY last year. (I can't be sure, but if I did, it didn't win!)

Now there´s something to benchmark (steal with pride) :D

Dawn breaks on the K&NWLR, as the school bus begins to make it rounds to pick up the children and deliver them to school.

And as it gets lighter on the second round trip ....

Do you have an outdoor layout as well?

Just the inside one - the garden railer who came in from the cold. Springtime now of course ...

The level of detail that can be achieved indoors is just superb. You have created wonderful effects here and with the adjustable lighting too it is so real.
Excellent modelling.
