A visit to the "Engine house"

A couple of pictures taken at "The Engine House" at Highly on the Severn Valley Railway. 




Some close up details of the steam manifold and vacuum ejector on the BR standard 2-6-4T.



I've just aquired a Bachmann model on Ebay and will be adding the extra detail in due course.

Nottingham Model railway exhibition 13th March 2016

A visit to the Nottingham Model railway exhibition on Sunday 13th March. My first visit to this show but certainly not my last, I was quite impressed with the quality of layouts trade and venue.
Of particular mention is the Welshpool and Llanfair narrow gauge layout "Llanerfyl" by Brian Hunt. A superb layout in 0-16.5 scale that got my vote for best in show.
