It’s an early morning start for D213 Andania as it fuels up for another heritage tour #modelrailway

Added more lighting to the signal box and depot end of the layout. #railroadmodeling #railwaymodelling

Morning ride coffee stop in Haworth in the heart of Bronte country

Sings…🎶all in all it’s just another prick with a ball🎶

@bsky.app simple question,why don’t I see posts from people I follow and who follow me? Thank you

Visit of 69002 a fab old diesel in the very evocative BR large logo guise called in at HB this morning for a driver change to it’s escorting class 66

Great day out at our local heritage railway steam gala day 1 #railway #railroad

I love Hollys work it combines a playful mix of realism and humour I recommend checking out her website

45407 The Lancashire fusilier on an excursion from Preston to Buxton passes through Toddmorden on this sunny Saturday morning

Spent the day at the @yspsculpture.bsky.social in search of inspiration to kickstart my stalled Lino printing got a few ideas forming #Printmaking #Printmaker

Came across this photo today… I always wanted one back in the day although I had absolutely no use for one just thought they looked cool

What the hell is happening in the USA.

Saddened to hear that Martin Carthy has announced he is retiring from touring due to a Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I spoke to him once in the men’s toilet at Wolverhampton MAC in I think 2017 when in true fan fashion I mumbled a hello Mr McCartney.

First attempt at adding lighting to my layout.. quite pleased with it 😊 #modelrailway #modelrailroad

Some pictures from my morning walk along the Rochdale Canal here in Hebden Bridge in the UK.

Twelve months apart on my first ever 00 gauge #modelrailway #modelrairoad, this layout is dedicated to my grandfather who drove the actual loco that’s modelled D213 Andania a class 40 diesel on his final shift before retiring from BR in the 60’s

Called in to see the talented Jen Orpin who is painting in residence at her exhibition in the Saul Hay gallery Manchester.Gave her a model I made of The Pies Bridge which is immortalised in a couple of her paintings..check out her work at jenorpinpaintings.com

A layout is never finished but D213 is getting close enough to pause and share...also after much consideration I decided to name the station Andania, the same as the loco. @wansfordterminal.bsky.social #modelrailway #modelrailroad

Time to add all the signage to D213’s layout what better reference than this gem from @doublearrow64.bsky.social

Happy Christmas to all my bsky followers

I’ve come a long way in twelve months on my journey in #Linoprinting from my first attempt on the right to having my prints used in a commercial calendar. #printmaking

First of my D213 layout station lights installed and on a temporary battery pack the rest will follow once I can sort out the wiring. #modelrailway #modelrailroad

I’m new to #linoprinting so I’m delighted that the Worth Valley railway commissioned me to produce prints of their diesel loco fleet which are now available as gift cards and a calendar #printmaking

Work in progress on my D213 Andania 00 gauge layout station,still loads of details and weathering to do but these are some of my first scratch built buildings and I’m rather pleased with them. #modelrailways #modelmaking

#GBRF Great British Railfreight wonderfully liveried 69013 Andy’s man club hurrying through Hebden Bridge this evening #mensmentalheath

Bit of Photoshop tinkering with a shot I took at Oakworth the Railway Children station on this mornings ride. @worthvalley.bsky.social

@channel4tv.bsky.social Just watched Bake Off extra slice on Channel 4 and disgusted that when food banks are the norm and children are starving in Palestine they thought it would be a laugh to have celebs throw food at each other 😡😡

On my way to Haworth on this afternoon’s ride #Yorkshire #cycling

Work in progress on D213 layout, depot has fencing parking and a sign, new permanent way yard and station staff parking and D213 has gained a restaurant car for those longer excursions #modelrailways #railwaymodelling #00gauge

Fab soul night on the BBC Proms #BBCProms

Six of the 12 Lino prints I made for the @worthvalley.bsky.social 2026 diesel calendar. This was an enjoyable but challenging project as I’m relatively new to printmaking. #art #Linocut #Printmaking

A question for all you OO gauge model rail enthusiasts..having built my DC layout using Peco electrofrog points will I now have to modify them in any way to run DCC ?..it will be extremely difficult and potentially damaging to do so as they are all fixed down and ballasted.

Took this on the Rochdale Canal in our town Hebden Bridge last night #iPhonephtography #iPhone12

Mate visiting for weekend brought this sweetie

@andylewis.bsky.social Andy, I know you’re into analog stuff so thought you might find this guy fixing a Revox worth a watch with a cuppa youtu.be/NeRfJrpvB74?...

During the works to refurbish @Lumb_Bank I took iPhone snapshots at each monthly site meeting recording the progress of the works through the incidental and seemingly mundane moments.The photos were displayed during the opening night event and are up throughout summer t.co/Ye9lwz9xJN

Happy to repost this as I lounge against one of Gail’s lovely cushions 🙂

So farewell then TEAC your Portasudio promised so much but unfortunately in my hands delivered so little

Happy Yorkshire day. One of my favourite cycling rides up over Widdop Reservoir

@wansfordterminal.bsky.social Thought you might like to see how the layout you so kindly assisted me with by sorting out the electrics deign is progressing

Great day out with Rory at the @worthvalley.bsky.social diesel gala great visiting locos and he even bought one of the calendars featuring my diesel Lino prints

Spotted in the wild.. the @worthvalley.bsky.social 2026 calendar featuring my Lino prints of their diesel loco fleet available in the station shops now and online.

It’s day 3 of the Keighley and Worth Valley railway diesel gala. Here are a selection of my Lino prints of their loco fleet that feature in the 2026 calendar which is on sale during the event. I’m off to enjoy the sight,sound,and smells tomorrow @worthvalley.bsky.social #printmaking

Out in all weathers keeping the Nation powered the National Grid 400kv supergrid is 60 years old today.Here’s 4ZP doing just that on Blackstone Edge Lancashire

My feed has gone from being #printmaking dominated to being ( mainly American) politics dominated..Its not what I came here for. #printmaker #printmaking #modelrailways #nopoliticshere

@hollybrodie.bsky.social Your neck of the woods ?

You could do a lot worse than follow Toms story,it’s a fascinating insight into how he positively manages the pretty poor health cards he’s been dealt.

Chuffed to be able to able to share this at last,my collaboration with Tom at the @worthvalley.bsky.social a calendar of my Lino prints of their diesel fleet in time for the upcoming diesel gala #Linoprinting #printmaker #railways #heritagerail
