Potpourri #1105

And just a few photos and ideas today.

A rarely photographed ex-SECR J class 0-6-4T, near Petts Wood and heading for Victoria.  The area was a lot more built up when I regularly used this footbridge some 30 years later.

I would have been catching an RT on the 94 though, as part of my route to school.

How to squeeze another railway onto the already crowded Isle of Wight.  A great idea to model the island without having to choose a station.  Make it a Colonel Stephens line, and the options are almost endless!

‘Arcadia’ is the KESR in ‘S’ scale in 6″6′.  It would also make a good micro in any scale (perhaps on the IOW, with that turntable.)

And what you need to run on it….

Troublesome trams (in Amsterdam).  That’s almost poetic…

A rather different modular system….

This must be worth modelling – but who dares add a ‘Jetex’ rocket to power it?

    Great inspiration from the photos, as always. In the Petts Wood one, the distant signal is clear for the Charing Cross route. We nearly bought a house backing on to the down side of the line there, there’s a lot more trackside greenery now.
