I think today it will be mainly buses. Let’s start with Victoria station in 1953, 1957 and 1984. And not very far away, Vauxhall Bridge Road in the 1970s. You might have found me in the picture walking from the … Continue reading →

I haven’t done one of these for a while.  These two American interurban scenes cry out to be modelled. And this if you had the room. Fremo modular layouts in HO can be enormous! This would be an interesting railway … Continue reading →
