Model Railway - Rail Blue

This is always worth a look IMO, particularly when you think that it was done 40 years ago, way before the vast range of ready-to run stuff that is available now.

Decent article about using LEDs in a new model railway magazine that started this month, it's called Finescale Modelling Review and is published four times a year at present.

There is also a VERY interesting article about photography inside a model roundhouse, the pics have to be seen to be believed.
For interesting dioramas, have a look at Cardiff Canton, and Ranelagh Bridge, being done by Steve Fay on both RMWeb and Western Thunder.

Nice to see there's a few others with a dual interest in fast cars and slow trains! I'm a fireman at the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway - so make sure you all pop by if taking the A458 through mid-Wales! Half the fun for me is the scooby journeys to get there and back with a couple of days out on a steam engine in between .

Yes that is Welshpool. The main centre (larger tea room and shop, work shops, engine shed etc) is at the western end, Llanfair Caereinion.
We were running in September, but if the train was out on the line when you were there then Welshpool is quite quiet!
Let me know if you are ever heading back, take a trip on the train and if I'm there then I'd be pleased to show you around.

Nice picturesque railway...
And yes the road out of Welshpool to Llanfair, been up and down that many many times to the rallying mecca of midwales forests, Dyfnant, Dyfi etc ...

Yes Steve, although not so much these days. I do the odd tarmac event in Ireland/Mainland Europe and always enjoy a trip to the Welsh forests. Probably drive more now ( got RS1800 ) which is what I did when I started rallying many moons ago.
For the benefit of the thread I have an American outline S guage layout

Looks fantastic Steve, I especially like your Hoover, the weathering detail is superb
Inspiring me to section off a corner of the loft and start, sadly I just don't have the time, but when the kids have grown up and start doing their own thing it will either be FP or OC, I want it to be FP but with a turntable such as OC

The Hoover needs a bit more work. around the windows and the exhaust ports but almost there
I need to get a decent camera as you can really see the detail
I quite like this shot, where you can see it work stained in the background
I have always thought FP would be a real good project. Kind of half tempted myself at some point.
Perhaps just get the woodwork done up in the loft. An buy the odd bit of stock here and there. Donīt start but just lay the ground as it were

Once I've cleared the rest of the crap out I'll allocate a space, looking on rmweb a lot has changed since the 80's with regards to controls and electronics in the loco's.
I'm taking my 5 year old to the Diesel Day on the watercress next weekend we had a wander around the sheds the other week and he enjoyed it, I'd like it to be something we could ultimately build together.
Their Hoover is looking really tatty and rusting really badly
