A neat bit of detail there. The coal looks like it really has been dumped there. Re the loco, it's well past time Bachmann updated its Ivatt tank with a new body. I fitted a 2-6-0 boiler to mine to give it better smokebox and boiler fittings.

Good to see that Callow Lane has re-emerged. Still looking atmospheric.

If you go to page 1 of this thread and just follow all 22 pages laboriously, then you'll probably get the gist of it!

Seriously, it's all in this thread. P4 layout, started in 2005, still not finished. No work done on it 2014 to now, for various reasons, but hope to resume soon.

7418 is shunted to the Coal Road, whilst the Army North British diesel collects a short rake of vans for the military stores depot on the light railway:

That there 14xx is just splendid. All the more so when one remembers what you went through to achieve a runner of the required standard.
