Putting some feelers out.... If we did a raffle for an hst cab ride, once in a lifetime opportunity, EMR sheffield to London service would you be interested at £10 a ticket? All proceeds go to western park hospital.
Lots of people ask how I fitted in so much on this layout, it looks huge on twitter but it's not really, lots of tight hidden curves and a cunning track plan. Hope this explains it. Feel free to ask any questions 👍
It is now time to tell u all that I only have a few weeks left as a Train manager before I move on to an exciting new adventure!! 😁😁 (And no.... It's not driving) 🤣
If ever a tweet warranted a pile on by the entire industry it's this utter shite. It's just lazy journalism. We haven't run a service on boxing day for about 30 years. 🤔
Today's ticket check bingo....
Hiding in toilet ✅
Ticket for a coach ✅
My phone is flat ✅
"I'm only going 1 stop" ✅

"I was kidnapped by gypsies" ✅
Bring on the return trip! 😂😂
Project 180 has reached the test stage now, slight hiccup with the resin windows but we got there, still not complete last 2 coaches to get done plus lights and a chip and some weathering to slap on, but slowly she's getting there 👍
Here's a snippet of my good mate Alan's layout, he's an incredible modeller and I'm trying to persuade him to join us on twitter so we can share his fantastic layout!!
For many years I have stood under this sign at derby and always thought "if that was repainted it could look superb" well.... Look at it now.... Resplendent! ❤️❤️
Hotel complete and in situ, lights in and roof finished it's just a shame that u won't really see much of it from the viewing side. 🤣 Now to tidy up and run some trains 👍
This is a local service in 🇩🇪 not one single chav.. no "innit bro ya get meh" or young woman with dingy sized lips "yeah but no but" arguing with someone. everyone is trusted to have a ticket and does. and look at all the masks. It works. It's a delight here.
Fasten your seatbelt peeps, I'm at my mate Alan's house and this layout has to be shared, fully signalled.... On 3 levels... It's a work of art... This may be a long thread 😳😳
