First modelling challenge of the year.  It’s really a diesel disguised as a steam loco, but it’s a special train on the Okaido tram system, so a ride on both tram or train would be fine!

Snow may be arriving in the UK today.  Not like this, I hope!

One of the best layouts on the exhibition circuit at the moment.  ‘Drws-Y-Nant’ is a 2mm finescale layout, depicting a section of GWR line between Bala and Dolgellau in mid Wales.  Yes, it’s simple and doesn’t have a procession of trains passing on multiple tracks.  But it’s beautifully made and a lovely spot to watch trains in the landscape.

In contrast, trainspotting on one of the largest O’ gauge layouts around.  In some ways very different from Drws-Y-Nant, but in other ways much the same – a simple (if enormous) main line and a chance to watch the trains go by.

In contrast, and American HO switching layout.  

For the bus enthusiast….

Finally, how to get from A to B via C, D or E!
