A colourful group of Garratts. Four of the NGG16s from our collection which will be doing their thing on Bron Hebog in Manchester next month.

My little haul od goodies from #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling yesterday. I think I got a couple of bargains, and definitely some bits I wanted. And kept within budget. #modelrailways #modelrailroads #modelrailway #hoscale #187scale #bsmrguk #176scale #oogauge

Of all yhe layouts large amd small at the #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling one of my favourite was also the simplest - a single track HO(M) layout named Kreuzweg. #modelrailways #modelrailroads #modelrailway #hoscale #187scale #bsmrguk #176scale #oogauge

Great day out at the #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling at the NEC. Great layouts and excellent trade support. I was glad I got in early as by luch time it was extremely busy. #modelrailways #modelrailroads #modelrailway #hoscale #187scale #bsmrguk #176scale #oogauge

Workshop is done. And this is what i did today #modelrailroad #h0scale #workshop

Ready to go for two days of LEGO train chaos at the National Festival of Railway Modelling in the NEC! #lego #legotrains #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling #nfrm #nfrm2025 #lgauge #modelrailway

I'm not sure if this counts as #modelrailways - I spent the afternoon fixing my daughter's old Happyland trains, neither of which worked, ready for Ebay. It was a slightly bigger job than I'd thought it would be.

I'm giving away two signed copies of my (recently republished) book 21st-Century Yokel, with two postcards of this fab otters linocut by my mum, Jo. Just repost this & pop a comment below to enter. You might like it if you like: Walking Wildlife Folklore Bees Ghosts The Sea Social history Badgers

For no particular reason I photographed Sandsend and Sandsend Ness through a hagstone from the beach.

When my parents married 53 years ago, someone (or a few someones) painted a good luck message on the railway bridge between the church in Little Oakley and the reception, using road marking paint. It was still visible until a couple of years ago. Probably my parents' greatest claim to fame.

Only on Facebook could I end up in a pointless argument with people I don't know about the location of a bridge that they've clearly never seen before. I hate Facebook so much, but have connections there with old friends that I don't want to lose.

Ten minutes doing scenery work. And some lovely corporate colour schemes!! #TMRGUK #NetworkSoutheast #modelrailways #modeltrains #BritishRail #Latchmere

East Broad Top 16, recreated as a somewhat 1:48 scale Lego model. Made to run on 3 stud gauge Lego track, like its real life counterpart. Engine & Tender come out to 1,440 pieces and I’m using one Power functions L motor for power. Really, really happy with the turnout.

Derailment resolved, at the cost of a broken point on the other route! It turned out to be a combination of twist and broad gauge leading into the turnout. #modelrailway #modelrailroad #hobbystreak 7

Growing up, I was a big fan of the Action Force (GI Joe) toys and comics. I often wondered how Baron Ironblood / Cobra Commander managed to recruit his soldiers. Seeing ICE and various other far right groups in the US, I think I now know.

For anyone interested in my mural boxcar, there's a short video of it on the workbench here. There are other graffiti and modelling videos on my channel too. youtu.be/Po5-4n276SM?... #modelrailways #modelrailroads #modelrailway #hoscale #187scale #bsmrguk #modelgraffiti

I'm setting most of my stock to roughly 2006, which means weathering and graffiti. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love finding cars on rrpicturearchive.net to make copies of. I've just finished a mural on a Railbox FMC boxcar, my favourite job so far. Weathering still to be done.

A lot has been achieved in a little over two and a half years. Feb 2023 vs Sept 2025.

Not posted for a while. Been busy enhancing my basic layout. Backscene and a bit of scatter makes all the difference!

Purely by chance I had some time to kill at Northampton station this morning, and had my camera in my bag - I managed to catch ROG 37501 and 37608 heading south.

This is why I hate Facebook.

Can we convince you to continue your campaign against those who seek to get out of paying stamp duty, @thesun.co.uk? How about you, @telegraphnews.bsky.social? Surely, you're outraged about this, @dailymail.co.uk? Anyone?

16 years ago today, CSX 8201, CSX 8509, and CSX 8803 were heading west through St. Denis, MD on their way to Jessup, MD to pick up a transfer run to Baltimore. 8201 was L&N 3573 built in 1974, 8509 was ex Seaboard built in 1983, and 8804 was originally Conrail 6373, built in 1977. My photo.
