Greyhounds/ lurchers/ whippets. Best doggos ever!! ❤️❤️

The track is complete into 5 and 6. At a later date, the platforms will be rebuilt #BSMRGUK

The FIRST Class 455 on Southern metals in Feb 1985. When I was 14. I travelled on them reguarly. Aged 39 I starting driving these! Very odd feeling. These ones were retired in 2022 but South West's have JUST gone. Good going for that apparently inefficient state railway company that built them eh?

Jumping on the #whatwereyoulikeinthe90s band wagon…..

Illustration from the perspective of the northbound platform at Wapping showing a red F Stock with distinctive oval cab end windows emerging from the Thames Tunnel into the platform as a mixed freight train heads the other way towards Rotherhithe, with a brake van on the rear.

#OnThisDay 60 years ago the East London Line was disconnected from the GER mainline near Liverpool Street, and freight traffic ceased. This 1995 Illustration of Wapping in the 60's by Nick Hardcastle depicts a freight disappearing into the Thames Tunnel as an F Stock emerges.

#FrontEndFriday BR green #Crompton 33008 'Eastleigh' (D6508) undergoing restoration at Shackerstone on the Battlefield Line. It sounds as if she is not too far away from running again which would be a fine sight indeed. #BRCW #BattlefieldLine @brcwco.bsky.social 3/4/26

Weathering the roof of 33008 in stages, including washes, dry brush and airbrush. Also weathered the chassis with the airbrush.

Times are hard, but if you could spare a few £/€ my friends at @Project_SETG455 @Gordon_3417 would really appreciate it as they plan to return 4VEP 3417 & Class 455 5871 to the mainline. If we raise enough we might even see a sister for 5871? I've donated. Please do if you can. Donate below.

Let's make it a date... Friday 29th May - KMRC Guildford Branch Open Event - Meet the team, manufacturers present, in-store special offers and announcements more details to follow.

Sign of an in-bread pigeon more like….

Definitely one of the most realistic layouts around. I could watch this for hours.

Thanks…. Check out Hornby magazine on sale May 7th….. 😁😁👍

I have completed baggage car no.7! A comet kit combined with a Hornby chassis.

Pffffffffffffffffffffffffff…..!! 😮

We at Rapido Trains UK hope you have a Great Easter! (that's what the GE stands for, right?)
For the occasion, we've had a mega delivery of chocolate eggs to the new layout.
Have a good'un and play with some toy trains.
