Thank you for sharing, it's great to see so many likes on a #modeltrains post! The UK #modelrailway community on here is quite small - anyone with an interest in #railwaymodelling should follow the #bsmrguk hashtag and join! Sad to have missed York this year.
My TMD will included a grounded coach similar to the one at Bath Green Park. This old mainline lms coach has several key characteristics that make it suitable for me.

I created a new running session video from it, which you can now find on my YouTube Channel.

Back on the model railway today, running my newest engine.

HO scale tank car resin casting in a paintbooth being painted Mr. Color flat white with Mr. Color leveling thinner.
Tabby cat at food bowl with eyes covered by a black bar. He is the prime suspect in a tank car ruination plot.
Screenshot of a popular old dril tweet where he says, "and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad."
Beautiful even white finish then I notice two separate strands of suspected cat fur, which ruins the finish when I scrape off paint removing it. The suspect is in custody. #ZeroleneBuild #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway
Some photos of Donaghadee Railway Station, a superb OO Gauge layout by Gordon Hunt of the Ulster Model Railway Club. It is a brilliant replication of the 1950s coastal terminus, captured here at the NEC last year! 📸

Side shot of a Stanier 4000 gallon tender, rendered in Blender. The tender is a riveted version, as some were welded together. All major details are present, just need to finish buffer details.
Behind shot of the tender. The tender currently has no coal load modelled inside. Rough representations of buffers are present, as real Triang metal buffers will be added once 3D printed.
Front shot of the tender, which would be the back of the cab.
Here's the progress on the #3Dprintable tender. It's coming along quite nicely, next will be getting it ready for printing and then coupling it to my Turbomotive model. #3Ddesign #Blender #modelrailway
The scales with tar-papered (painted masking tape on styrene) roof over the scale pit to either side of the rails. The middle wasn’t papered on this particular scale.
#hobbyStreak 150. Added the roof for the scales. #modelRailway #modelRailroad
Picked up a Dapol LMS home signal to try out. If this goes well, dapol can count on me buying quite a few more lol

Not bad for £52 off ebay, two missing handles on the tender (if you didn't know they were supposed to be there you wouldn't know they were missing) otherwise in good nick, DCC ready, loco drive and includes 2 carrages 😀

One of the gauntlet switches with the PC board ties painted to match the adjacent wooden ties to the best of my ability.
#hobbyStreak 149. It’s all cosmetic from here until the scale track is installed next week. Painted the PC board ties. #modelRailway #modelRailroad

The wiring in Hornby's sentinel is quite fragile so I've removed the DCC socket and hardwired the chip to prevent further breakage

The tank needed 4 more tiny holes for a step, installed later. It was then ready for painting. The final color being predominantly white, I primed with Mr. Surfacer 1500 White & Mr. Color leveling thinner in many thin layers over 2 days. #ZeroleneBuild #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway
HO scale resin tank car casting with half of the handrails installed.
HO scale resin tank car casting with all of the handrails installed.
Side view, HO scale resin tank car casting with handrails installed.
HO scale resin tank car casting being given a bath in 91 percent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to thoroughly clean the surface.
Installation was a lot of careful effort. The rings ended up being just a tiny bit oversize, but I think it is better than the irregular hand-rolled stanchions I have seen in the past. After installation, 2 thorough cleanings: dishsoap then IPA. #ZeroleneBuild #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway
A package of A-line D-1074, a collection of tiny gray metal rods with eyelets at the end. One example of a clipped and prepared stanchion is shown for illustrative purposes.
First, we need to prepare the stanchions by clipping and then molding the rod, which is flattened metal, into a round peg. Then, to determine the drill bit size needed and drill out the resin tank casting. #ZeroleneBuild #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway
Model building has nothing but moments of truth. Let's see if I can pull off the handrail installation. Using Arrow Hobby stanchions intended for diesel handrails: will this work well enough? ppw-aline.com/products/d11... #ZeroleneBuild #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway
I've primed it in pink to give a good base for the yellow, of which there's quite a bit on this livery. It should also be good for the red. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #kitbash #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading #railwaymodelling
A few days at work have slowed progress on the M&E GP9/TE-47-4E project, but tonight I've found some time to set the airbrush up to get some paint on the model. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #kitbash #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading #railwaymodelling
#modelrailway Not so much playing as planning out a redesign of my electrics.
Good news. The UK Model Shops website has been resurrected. This a really useful resource for finding: local model shops, all sorts of small manufacturers, exhibitions and events.
