I am not a fan of the sun, well not 30c sun anyway and being off work this week means I have had time to do some work on the model railway. #trains #trainnerds #railway #modeltrain #modelrailway #railways #trainnerd #train #locomotive #loco

If you followed my YouTube channel yesterday all I can say is thank you, I am now 20 away from 1,000 subs. This is a huge achievement for me, someone a few years ago terrified of posting on YouTube now almost has 1,000 subscribers.

I will be at Severn Valley Railway this weekend. If you’re about and happen to see me, why not stop for a chat.

Flying Scotsman will be double heading with a class 20 on the Friday service on the SVR by the looks of it due to the continued fire risk. #trains #train #trainnerds #trainnerd #railway #railways #steamtrain #steamtrains #steam #steamengine #locomotive #loco

With that in mind, my page will be consumed by Flying Scotsman content next weekend, if you don’t like it, please just scroll on by, I won’t be offended. Thank you for your continued support of my page.

I understand that Flying Scotsman to a lot of people is over hyped but to me it is part of railway history and to see it running in person on one of my favourite railway is both an honour and a privilege.

Next weekend 25-28th July I will be at Severn Valley Railway for the Flying Scotsman weekend as part of their full line reopening and swinging sixties weekend.

Bit more work on the model railway this weekend. Painting mud areas and grey areas, laying grass, planting trees and touching up roads where glue didn’t take first time. #trains #trainnerds #railway #modeltrain #modelrailway #railways #trainnerd #train #locomotive #loco

It’s muddy out there. Painted the muddy areas tonight ready for some grass application. The area by the factory that appears to be missed needs the road widening 😉 #trains #trainnerds #railway #modeltrain #modelrailway #railways #trainnerd #train #locomotive #loco
