My thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastating fire in Stourbridge today. 🧡 Especially those who have lost their homes or have been forced to leave them, and everyone whose lives have been disrupted.

The Red Sirdars. The first entries by Rapido Trains UK into 009 locomotives are firm favourites on the FLLVR, seen here working the slate train. Can't wait to see what Rapido does next in 009. #modelrailway #modeltrains #009modelrailway #narrowgauge #workinprogress

FACT OF THE DAY. 11 August 1968. Last steam train ran on British Rail. The final journey was by the, Stanier Five Black Locomotive 45110 from Carlisle to Liverpool’s Lime Street Station. The ban on steam was lifted in 1971 thereby paving the way for the many heritage specials which now operate.

Welsh Pony working the Victorian livery Bowsiders and Curly Roofed Van. The purple-brown livery is incredibly striking and both #PECOModelRailways and @bachmanneurope.bsky.social have done an amazing job in recreating this livery in 009. #modelrailway #modeltrains #009 #narrowgauge #workinprogress

Barely larger than a 9V battery, Una still packs a punch with her diecast boiler and running plate, accompanied by a wealth of separately fitted details including handrails, valves, springs, brake shoes and cab controls. Pre-order with your Bachmann retailer: t.ly/retailers #modelrailway

Did you know that the Talyllyn was one of the first preserved railways to have a website? Created by volunteers who studied at the nearby Aberystwyth University in the late 90's, you can still see older versions of the website through the Wayback Machine! Which one do you remember? #HeartofGold
