the Bandon tank Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 I agree,great detail and fantastic atmosphere. I think if the tracks were weathered it would bring this this layout to another level. 1 1 Quote

Some of the 1356-1371 coaches were converted into Brake Steam Generator Vans with the same window/door arrangement during the late 1970s 1 1 Quote
