Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This loco has been an experience I tell thee! I won't be picking up any more of these Hattons 66s even if this one was cheap. Blew 2 decoders, lost numerous axle boxes and I removed the ladders before they snapped off completely. Will stick to Acc/Bac for all things 66 from now on! 000
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Bit of an 80's feel on the layout today. This loco rarely comes out these days! 011
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Shed heaven. Didn't realise I had acquired so many class 66's. Keep finding myself looking for more. It's not even my favourite loco 🤣 010
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Happy Birthday to me 🎉🎂 Accurascale Colas 66 849 awaiting full running in on the rolling road later today. 020
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 05/02/2026The loco that started it all... Bachmann 66 Kernow Exc. Bought new at exhibition in 2016 for £75 as it was missing an outer sleeve. Only right that it has been updated with HM7000, megabase speaker and illuminated models lighting mods. Beginning to thin out my collection but this one won't be sold! 0133
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Composed and created by a close friend for his class 20 obsessed father.youtube.comBritish Electric Class 20YouTube video by Analogue Path 010
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Tested out a new soldering iron by fitting the illuminated models lighting kit into an older Bachmann 66. Reasonably simple with a steady hand and a bit of magnification. What a difference it makes too! #TMRGUK 120
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Quick evening running session. 158 running in nicely. May even fit sound in it in the new year! #TMRGUK 062
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 22/11/2025NEC National Festival of railway modelling today, bit of a trek up and back from the south coast in the rain but had a great time at the show. Promised myself I wouldn't buy any more locos this year but appear to have came home with a DMU on a technicality 😂 5392
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Brand new tooling sound fitted Bachmann 47 for £177. There are definitely model railway bargains out there to be had if you look around. This came from Model Railways Direct. Great service, ordered Friday, arrived Saturday! 040
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Hashtag #TractorThursday Any excuse I suppose! 010
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 20/10/2025At nearly 3ft in length per set, I'm glad I only bought two packs of @revolutiontrains.bsky.social WIAs. Can't wait to run these. They really look the business! #TMRGUK 030
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 12/10/2025Not posted for a while. Been busy enhancing my basic layout. Backscene and a bit of scatter makes all the difference! 071
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 08/06/2025New (old 2020) bachmann 66 joins the fleet. £60 eBay win. Nice to see some bargains to be had still there on occasion! 130
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 18/01/2025HM7000 Bluetooth firmware update time. I'm now up to 4 of these sound decoders now. All using megabase or iPhone speakers from Roads & Rails. 050
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Haul from the NEC NFMR today. Thought it was a great show and can only get better. Some noticeable absences but lots of smaller traders to make up for it. Weather not ideal but still worth the 2.5 hour drive up. I'd go again tomorrow if it was closer! #BSMRGUK 080
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Managed to fix my NCE PowerCab by replacing the encoder. Hardest part was getting the failed one out. I shouldn't have doubted my soldering skills as it's working perfectly! #BSMRGUK 040
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Well it wouldn't be Dapol 73 without some bits falling off while handling it as lightly as possible would it 😬 #BSMRGUK 060
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Tickets bought for next weekends National Festival of Railway Modelling at the NEC. Anyone else going? #TMRGUK #BSMRGUK #IGMRG #MySpaceMRGUK 630
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Accurascale class 66's and 37's (DCC ready) now only £144 brand new - Much cheaper then the ebaY scalpers!! I've exhausted my model railway budget this month so I'm out lol 🤣 www.burevalleymodels.com/c/244/Analogue 140
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 12/11/2024This cannot be standard wiring? Not sure I can easily re-DCC this second hand Hornby 156 back to how it left the factory. May split for what parts are useful and list on eBay #TMRGUK #BMRGUK 160
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 09/11/2024Deleted my model railway X account. Tried to reset the algorithm by starting again but was soon pigeon holed down a far right wing agenda and followed by umpteen lady-bots. F that! 030
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 06/11/2024Despite the recent influx of new Accurascale 66's, an old Bachmann favourite makes a welcome appearance on an engineers train. #TMRGUK #BSMRGUK 070
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 01/11/2024What better way to spend a solo night shift than fitting an ESU sound decoder, accurathrash speaker and crew. Should also be able to properly run in nicely on the rolling road too 😀 030
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 26/10/2024Shed Seven! Latest arrival from Bure Valley Models. 66507 now joins my other two Accurascale examples alongside four now elderly bachmann 66s #bmrguk #tmrguk 060

Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 23/10/2024Wife out for a pub quiz, kids asleep in bed. Another Accurascale 66 purchased. I really shouldn't be left unsupervised 🤣 161
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 23/10/2024My rekindled love affair with model railways started again in 2017. Just going back through the history of my initial eBay purchases. Look at these winning prices back then. I never use that Networker. Must be worth more than £65 now! #bmrguk 010
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 22/10/2024Freightliner 70 on the container run with squeaky KFAs and passenger services return to the layout after a noticeable absence... #TMRGUK #BMRGUK 1101
Fortese Junction @fortesejunction.bsky.social · 17/10/2024Bachmann DRS 37 688 fitted with Hornby TXS Bluetooth Sound. Noisy machine even with the tiny sugar cube speaker! 0101
