A quick Jago Hazzard. Trams in Amsterdam – in miniature…. Industrial road running in Berlin – the Bullenbahn (a chance to practice your German, too) A rather large and rather excellent layout. Brian sent me this link to a rather … Continue reading

Just a few odds and ends today…. Two excellent HO small layouts – most realistic. South Croydon 1925, with the LBSCR overhead electric still in place. A little bus interest – I remember going to Norfolk on holiday through the … Continue reading
