Hi, as ive been doing a bit of painting and weathering on the layout, i thought id do a few pics. Layout is OO gauge, loosely based in the South/South West and is set between 1987-90:

I'm not really a train fan but that is stunning. I could look at those pics for ages ,esp the top one, that really is something. Well done and thanks for showing it off.

Hello,Jonathan - My full compliments to you on a beautiful looking layout.I love my scale modelling and I also love model railways.We can build our favourite subject in scale model form and put in pride of place in the cabinet or on the shelf but a model railway is 'alive'. 

I can totally relax and unwind by just watching the trains run by.I'm not bothered about digital sound effects or anything like that.I just love to watch and hear the movement of the trains themselves.

Great work on a great subject.I love it.

😉👍 All the best,Paul.

Thank you guys :)

Have finally got round to fitting the 3rd rail so the EMU's look a little more at home :wink:

It felt like its never-ending, but hopefully worthwhile!

Due to having a bash with the airbrush, most locos and stock have now had some weathering....

i'd forgotten i'd started this thread!!

Most of my time now is spent repainting/relivery-ing or re-numbering/naming. Have done a fair bit of weathering the stock too.

Here's a few recentish shots of such locos etc

Oh wow, this is great, fantastic  work on the layout, stock weathering etc.  This evolves memories of travelling to Bournemouth in the mid 70s from Beckenham , used to remember the ticking if relays I presume as the 4 VEP or what ever we were on then was sat in the station. 

Love the class 33s too, they arexa favourite.

Just come across this topic and have to say you have a really stunning layout there with some of my favourite locos, in some of my favourite liveries! We used to spend lots of family holidays in Dawlish and NSE 50's & 47's were very definitely favourites! Your weathering is excellent too! Also well remember 33's on Swansea-Portsmouth Harbour services, lovely little locos!

 

Really excellent modelling!! :nodding:
