Sad to hear this news along with the Hatton's closure,

I first attended Warley in 2012 and returned there eight times-last year being the now final visit, I really enjoyed my visits,

I hope the new Model world Live will be a successful replacement in April,

Roll on Model rail Scotland,lets hope this one continues.....

Fully agree Noel, I;ve been going to Warley for the past twenty years, maybe see you at Glasgow or Model world Live if your attending

Saddened to hear Hattons are closing down. I've dealt with them since 1978 when I bought my first point and electric point motor from them and had many, many orders since, they'll be missed.

Excellent all round.

Love the Scrap Yard, but it does bring a tear to the eye.
Fond memories of days gone bye !

It was an idea i had for two old Q kits that had become brittle and started showing signs of cracks, so rather than bin them i thought of placing them in a scrap yard TDR

Thank you TDR

Hi All, just a quick update with some pictures, I’ve spent the last 6 months, making, modifying, detailing and painting many, many bits and pieces. Today I started placing some of these on the layout starting with the town area, road works, bar fight, police check point on railway bridge and a loco scrap yard, much more has to be done in these areas , but its a start, I will also be adding several more in the next few weeks to other areas too,  Some pictures contain loco Surgery LOL  enjoyTDR

Hi All, some more bits and pieces under construction for the layout, just finished two cranes waiting weathering, with a Hunslet and oil tanks on the go in the background. TDR

I had a great ay at the Bangor exhibition this afternoon, met some old friends and made and met some new ones, Thanks to anyone whom took time to chat and share knowledge and experiences, Special thanks to Kieran, Patrick Paul, Anthony, Joe, Jim and Geoff, nice seeing you guys. Regards Ray

Love the "troubles" stuff! At the 25th anniversary of the GFA, a timely reminded of how far we've moved away from all that...........

 

Totally agree, jhb171achill, the police/military wagons are to be included into a vintage vehicle show on the layout. TDR

Still quiet busy creating and painting details for various dioramas and parts of the layout, hopefully get them positioned after Bangor exhibition, when some videos and pictures will be then put up

Hi All, A very busy period getting some more details ready for the layout, including AWS ramps, warning cones and barriers, clocks and chairs for the signal box interior, gas cylinders. Some military and police vehicles for a vintage show diorama, and a rake of 13 Premier Mollasses wagons, will post more pics when placed on layout. TDR

All sorted on the decals,TDR
