Next to us was the ‘OO’ modern image Oak Road.  Based on Castle Cary station, the scenery captured the local Shepton Mallet hills very well.  Lots of HST’s running by (but not photographed), and some fine modern diesels.  We commented … Continue reading

Another pleasant afternoon playing trains, with a bakers dozen or so of members and friends attending. Paul brought along part of his Kato Racetrack, with transition boards to change from Kato Unitrack to N-mod standards.  20′ of layout just about … Continue reading
