Here we have some BR(S) Locos posed on my Dark Lane Layout. Although Dark Lane is a DCC layout, I do use it as a Photo Plank to Photograph non fitted Locos. Below are some of the photos taken this morning.
Some BR(S) Locos on Dark Lane
BR(W) Shunters Truck in O Gauge
This is the latest project finished. It is A Scorpio Models Brass kit, made by Graham M and painted and weathered by myself. It will run on at least two of my layouts – possibly three. It will run with my BR Western Region Pannier Tanks mainly, but may be used on other Tank Engines as well.

O Gauge J15 on Little Sefton.
This a J15 lightly weathered – I have had this Loco for about 15 years – it used to run on my long retired Hobbs Lane Layout. It will move to my latest O gauge steam shed Mission Road when it is finished.

Farewell Ebridge Mill
Recently our group split and we all went our separate ways. Ebridge was owned by us all and it has now been sold to another friend. Ebridge was made by Mike and Graham and did many exhibitions including Warley – I am not sure whether it will remain on the exhibition circuit.

Two N7/3 in O Gauge
Here we have two Hill N7/3’s – one fully weathered and the other just out of works in immaculate condition. I never weather all my locos and always leave about one in ten as ex works. I remember this in the mid/late 50’s when I was a lad – sadly by the early sixties most engines were in an awful state, even the early diesels!

This is Hornby’s latest release in OO based on the Colchester Signal Works Engineers Coaches in the 1950’s. My friend Ian asked me make them ‘less bright’ and in a ‘well used’ condition, below are the results.
