Little trains today.  Just a few layouts that caught my eye from all Allan’s photos.  Typically, I’ll start with a little N gauge layout, Settrington.  Based on part of the Yorkshire Wolds railway, this line shows that you don’t need … Continue reading

Once again, it was Ally Pally time.  I do like the venue, and I had a complementary ticket for being a member of World of Railways.  Even better, I arranged to visit with my old work colleague, Malcolm.  That made … Continue reading
