      No problem I’m a Lego builder myself and have had a go at a few engines in the past (was particularly pleased with my class 68) and although I’ve yet to get to your level of detail I know how much time and effort these models take so certainly deserve attention and praise.
      My boy was disappointed he didn’t come to the show and missed your layout as he loves what you do he watches one of your members (I assume they are as I’m certain I’ve seen that terrier on UA-cam before) and is always really inspired, so much so I’ve had to order extra train parts for him.
      Out of curiosity how many studs wide do you build your engines, I tend to go with 6 but it feels too restrictive and your models look a little wider.

    Glad you made this lovely video on the London show, so much I missed.
    I speciale came over from Belgium to see this show, and don't regret it, much to see and for sale, in an overcrowded haven of model trains.
    Spend the hole day there, super tired at the end and still saw only a glimpse of what was on offer.
    Met a few people who I have become good friends with over the years, in short a super day for the model railway fans.

      I so agree with you, which is why these days I seldom watch 'Club' videos; the background chatter is so off putting, unlike this video with some very decent and informative commentary. The guy obviously knows his railways and their stock. Each layout has its own story, so it is really nice, for once, to hear them! Well done. Eric.

    If i had space id model one of the other stations on the fairford branch, brize norton or eynsham, witney being the ultimate of course, and i know its a model but according to some sources 14xx didnt go far along the branch because of their lack of water capacity, although there is a picture of a 14xx in fairford itself
