What a wonderful place to see the steam engines of old. Nothing like the allure of the steam era. Great model train display. I have my fair share of N scale and HO scale models. I would like to get a nice G scale but it is very expensive.

Thanks for sharing.

August, the buildings look great with the lights blazing away. Model trains are great hobby.

I am open to offers though.

Well, there's one set on ebay for £149.00. So I'd say your Dad was right.

Still a kicker of a thing to hear as a kid though

In my heart of hearts, I knew he was right. Besides, he had other trains that I could play with.

August - hurry up with more pics!

Thanks Guys,

I'll put some up in a separate thread tonight. The layout is not even close to being done. I got almost all the track laid but have only installed scenery and background stuff on perhaps 10% of it.

But the two small pics we've seen looked great enough to want more, at least then even if it's unfinished we could have an idea of the finished greatness.

Would like to watch the progress.
