You can’t beat the real thing on Easter weekend.
‘Theobald’s Yard’ all packed into the recently racked out trailer in readiness for the Epsom show next weekend.
Does anybody recognise what these are? And can you guess where I found them in London? There are clues in the pictures....
Great Day out at the Kirkaldy Testing Machine, Anchor Pub and Tower Bridge
There is a wealth of information on the web showing how to construct a model railway. I have put together a pinterest page containing the articles that I have personally found useful. To view the page follow this link:
