I only seem to post hobby stuff...! Whilst I find my 'business feet' (it's only taken 9 years! ๐ ), I might as well share something I can be proud of: https://t.co/ZkIwBXSUxH
Thanks to @ScaleModelScene for the feature, and to @stubby47 for the design work!
Last weekend, my layout 'Sandy Shores' appeared at Narrow Gauge South. Very unexpectedly, it won 'Best in Show', an amazing feat given the exquisite modelling on display. My utmost thanks to all at WNGRM and @PECOstreamline
Full write-up and more photos:

@PECOstreamline I should note that the stock seen in the photos is predominantly visiting stock by a lovely chap called Peter who stopped by to test them, and stayed to operate the layout. I've definitely got to get a balcony/verandah coach for myself now!
@encoffeedrinker@PECOstreamline Thanks Mark, I appreciate that!
Your flat wagons are still doing sterling service, and form the backbone of the fleet, I might add!
I... I hate to post things like this, but I saw this just now and I cannot comprehend it. Top headline today? "Kate seen after saying she edited Mother's Day photo".
Like... seriously?! Why is that at all relevant to anyone in the world? How is that the most important news? Wtf!
If you're around the Romsey area this weekend, why not drop by and visit the R&DMRS exhibition. It promises to be a small but perfectly formed show!
I'll be there with Sandy Shores. See their website:

@ScaleModelScene So many answers to give here... so here's my top three:
1) Consistency (of modelling/painting/weathering etc)
2) Good lighting (I know, probably not the answer a lot of people would expect!)
3) Having fun!
Tonight, being home alone on NYE, I'm spending this evening making up a couple of 009 Society Exclusive bolster wagons! #lifeofanintrovert
Happy New Year to all!
(P.S. You never know, I might yet start my OO gauge layout in 2024... though I won't make it a NY's resolution๐ )
@lawrenceofthe@Practical_Phil I will have to find out - I've no idea! Though I do know there are more homemade mince pies left, as well as sausage rolls.๐
Told you I'd be doing something for myself over Christmas - a photoshoot of my own layout 'Sandy Shores'! Complete with delicious homemade mince pies, and half-hearted festive attire (Sorry, I don't have a garish Christmas jumper). As you can see, space is tight in my bedroom!
@GrahamMuz I've just remembered that even my glasses are blue!๐คฃ
Honest, green is my favourite colour, and I genuinely don't like navy blue especially... that's what makes my bedroom so hilarious to me
