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! 📸

Looking back on 2025, I started the Pembrokeshire Collection to model engines from my home county in miniature! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚂 So far I’ve done the Hook Colliery Avonside and Rosyth No.1. I can't wait to model more local engines in the new year!

Getting into this oo scale figures painting. I don't have a train set up, so I give these away to a friend. #oogauge #trains #figures #miniatures

Alfred arrived on the layout today and was worth the wait, very smooth runner too! Excellent job Rapido Trains! #modelrailway #ooscale #oogauge

🥇 And the Top Layout of 2025 is Lizerpool (OO Gauge)! The movement on this pre-Nationalisation South Wales dock scene—working cranes and magnet-operated lorries—is simply unmatched. A truly deserved winner! #OOGauge #ModelTrains

Taking the Bronze medal at #3 is Cardiff Canton (OO Gauge). Chris Fordham's 28-foot depot recreates the early privatisation years (1998–2004) perfectly. A masterpiece for modern image enthusiasts. #OOGauge #Cardiff

Number 4: Museum of Transport (OO Gauge). A unique concept set in a fictitious dockyard, featuring trains, tramcars, working bridges, and a restored Lancaster Bomber that 'starts up.' So much detail and movement! #OOGauge #ModelTrains #Exhibition

My NFRM haul - Athearn AC4400 - I've been after a Building America locomotive for a while, and this was at a great price. Not ideal for the switching layout but will look nice on a shelf; Atlas Ginderson 7550 boxcar - can't have too many boxcars, or graffiti projects; Oxford Rail Mk 3 - to run with my Bachmann 90 or Accurascale 89. Damaged coupler, so cheap. I have a project idea for these; Containers - I have a slack train but lack loads. The Scaletrains ones look a bit short in height, I'm not sure if there are two sizes IRL, I thought they were all standard; Oxford Rail Landrover - can't have enough Landrovers; Rubber brushes - to help with masking, hopefully. That was exciting wasn't it.

My little haul od goodies from #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling yesterday. I think I got a couple of bargains, and definitely some bits I wanted. And kept within budget.
