All this agonising that we do about the 'right colour' made me wonder if anybody has ever done a layout in black and white?
Apparently, there have been a few goes, here's a nice diorama.
Tender-driven - about three quarters of the way down this manual - https://static.maerklin.de/damcontent/78/32/783280fd5e78425fc32fdc46a7cc7d9f1434541876.pdf
Today's inspection tour revealed little new to report.
These nice road/rail vehicles were parked up.
The branch sleepers are looking quite Olde Worlde.
219 pushed through whilst I was there.
The bees are still on duty.
Some of the details are quite ecclesiastical - or ecumenical.
Downforce on the driving wheels will help, either by adding weight on them or by using https://www.dccconcepts.com/product/powerbase-mini-magnet-pack-x24-smaller-magnets/ - to add force without adding (much) weight.
This post originally had an embedded tweet, with a picture showing a coach trapped in the Lansdowne Road crossing, which seems to have been deleted, possibly on legal advice?
