Have you heard their "Me and Mr Absolutely" that starts with the sound of two class 50s at Paddington?

I think I first heard of those lyrics when they were quoted in Rail Enthusiast magazine in an article about Deltics (the locos, not the Chris Rea album!)

The arrows at Worcestershire Parkway are the largest I’ve seen. They are about 13ft long, around 3.5 metres

Counting the bricks I think this one is about 13 ft wide, more than three and a half metres.

Spending Boxing Day working on Train Describers for the layout. Every TD berth has to have strict rules written for when and how the train description moves to the next berth when a train moves. #BSMRGUK #MRCCC

I spent yesterday afternoon playing trains with my Dad on his layout. It’s the first time we’ve played trains together for nearly 50 years. Very special time.

Great stuff, I was a secondman at Ipswich from 1985 to 1988, I was one of the ones doing the loco changeovers until the 86s went through to Norwich in 1987. That's a big reason for building the layout, to recreate those days.

I'd be very interested in more details of the camera system as it's something I want to do myself

This is one fifth of the layout, 12ft. The scenic section stretches all the way to the London Road Bridge at the other end of the freight yard.
