    • If you don't find one, note that Accurascale do presently have small numbers of the sets of 3 in stock - of your preferred era. I assume they have found a few more in the warehouse as these haven't been available for some time. You might be able to flog the other two? https://www.accurascale.com/collections/bullied-wagons?filter.p.m.Custom.Availability=In+Stock I've found the IRM 20' containers hard to find these days - I did get eventually a pair of the CIE side-door versions on eBay but at a premium price. 
    • The middle photo featuring only the cattle wagons blew me away. Only the couplings give it away as not the real thing. Brilliant modelling. Stephen
    • Thanks for all that information, it's absolutely fascinating. Funnily enough, the evolution of a layout is something I was thinking about earlier on. It rarely happens nowadays. Probably due to the demise of permanent home layouts due to squeeze on space.  You would often read in magazines of layouts which started life in a modest way and then grew, developed and regenerated over the years. I really like that concept.  One which had a big impression on me a teenager was Ted Polet's Craigcorrie & Dunalistair Railway in 009. That has continued to develop over 40 years. Bits have been rebuilt, new sections added, things changed and improved. I've been lucky enough to see smaller sections of it which have been exhibited.  It's sad that these type of system home layouts are very rare today. The reason are understandable though.
    • The day before the fair; empty wagons arriving for loading from early the next day, summer 1961….     Only six years later, steam has gone, but a newly repainted “A” brings a spare brake van in… 
    • Hi all, wondering if anyone is interested in selling a single bullied open wagon, roundel era preferred. also looking for IRM 20ft iso containers. any help would be greatly appreciated.
