Can't wait to see this wonderful layout at Pontefract

You and us both. Mind we haven't had a confirmation of the invite to the show!

 

[Rippers]

The locos are starting to arrive at a state of completion too.

 

[Rippers]

This is proving an interesting weathering challenge...

 

[Rippers]

Starting to look like one of Hull Dairycoates finest....

 

[Rippers]

First trial of the completed 350hp shunter to see how it looks in the scenic area.

Fits in nicely.

90478 another view from the same day. Bloke second left was a third generaton Engineman, his Grandad started with the H&BRly in May 1885.

Trial run of the now finished Austerity 2.8.0 prior to the layouts first show later this month.

Another of the layouts Hull allocated locos undergoing testing.

It's all the little observations that do it - like the workman in the Sissons building with his back to the window.
Top floor, top-drawer!

 

[Rippers]

The evening papers have arrived....

 

[Suffolk Dave]

Wonderful as ever...

Please be at the York show at Easter!

Please be at the York show at Easter!

Sorry to disappoint. The show at Pontefract is the only invite the layout currently has and as such, likely to be it's only appearance at a show in 2025.

I invite myself to shows, never been "told off" as most exhibition managers are looking for new layouts and are glad to be informed.

Some might see this as rude behaviour.
