The Gretton & Wenlock Railway (O-16.5 gauge) is a charming freelance Shropshire narrow gauge branch line set in the late 1940s/early 1950s. It features a great mix of passenger and goods traffic, including a timber merchant's yard! #ModelRailway #NarrowGauge #O165Gauge

The difference almost 5 years makes! This is my original that started it all, and now it's had an update! The new one will be out early next week and also at the Waley At Statfold show this weekend. The sales of the kits there will go towards restoring the Glyn Valley Tramway! π

Hergest (OO and OO9 gauge) by Peter Cullen. A charming layout set in the Autumn of 1947, depicting a small station where the GWR standard gauge line met an ex-Glyn Valley Tramway narrow gauge line, serving as an interchange for goods ππ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ #ModelRailway #OOGauge #NarrowGauge #ModelTrains

Bristol Avon Bridge (EM Gauge) by Keith Sully is an instantly recognisable layout capturing the atmosphere of Bristol Temple Meads in the late 1970s. Look out for the incredible laser-cut overall roof! Seen recently at the Bristol Model Railway Exhibition π #ModelRailway #EMGauge #ModelTrains

Gary Atkinson's Woodhead N gauge layout at the Bristol Model Railway Exhibition was stunning! It perfectly recreates the iconic 1960s route, complete with impressive overhead electric catenary powering EM1/EM2 locos hauling trains through the dramatic Longdendale Valley #ModelRailway #NGauge

Alderford, an impressive OO gauge layout by Carl Bowden, was a highlight at the Bristol Model Railway Exhibition. Inspired by the late '80s North West electrified lines, it features a busy terminus, working pantographs, and realistic sound. #ModelRailway #OOGauge #BristolModelRailwayExhibition

Two framed photos showing the construction of the viaduct over the River Taff at Quakers Yard.
Karen snapped up this pair of useful oak frames for me at the weekend. Iβve only just had a chance to look at them andβ¦ π³ wait-what!
Iβm guessing these photos of the Viaduct at Quakers Yard originally hung in the construction companyβs offices or similar.
