Building Warrington Bank Quay station in OO gauge during the 'Decade of Progress'. Formerly 'Wild Boar Models'.

@DJSnM @blueorigin At the moment "Tiz but a scratch" seems appropriate. But the return to flight booster would be "We have normality".

@dpoddolphinpro Similarly there was a press release about the Cl222s to ScotRail which mentioned LEO satellite connectivity, but no provider. It is known that several UK fleets are trialling or about to trial Starlink

@GrahamMuz Very neat, the representation of the traction motors is a nice touch and one I don't recall seeing done before. Hopefully these do well. A 325 to this standard would be very welcome (to me).

@timblazey @tfwrail A cracking set of photos of the comparison. Thanks for posting them.

@kernowmodelrail Fantastic service as always, ordered yesterday arrived before 10AM this morning. Thanks KMRC!

@NSE_Latchmere @rlonguk @Platform5Rail @heavyhaul66 Can't unsee that now, petition started for their nickname to be The Ood.

@Rail_Photter Good to see a recent photo of No.2, need to visit it at some point as this has been in the family since she was being sold off...

It has been a while but finally got another 37 on the workbench, previous respray (not mine), mustn't have keyed so could flake off the paint. Set to become EWS 37051 with a bit of work.

@NSE_Latchmere Looks ace, definitely want to try doing one now as well, maybe a 59/2, but ARC is particularly smart.

[Warrington Bank Quay 'OO' - The Northern Approach @WildBoarModels]

@NSE_Latchmere Ah had a feeling the 20s became the DRS ones (well, some of).

[Warrington Bank Quay 'OO' - The Northern Approach @WildBoarModels]

@NSE_Latchmere @lookitstrainart @Mark03976688 Looks like I have my work cut out... Hope I can make it look even half as good.

[Warrington Bank Quay 'OO' - The Northern Approach @WildBoarModels]

@CheadleHill @OldBuzzard59 @martin_etherton Ah super thanks, certainly done the trick.

[Warrington Bank Quay 'OO' - The Northern Approach @WildBoarModels]

@CheadleHill @OldBuzzard59 @martin_etherton That looks ace, what did you use to clean it up please (mine turned up a few ago too)?

@holtona72 @CallumThornelow @Bennybizzle1 @Andym13 @MrDeltic15 @WilsonBone @LeicRailAle170 @thesatnav89 @kingy69beard Might be a slight clue in the photos...

@MicroTrainDude They are TOPEs, Hornby has done them and Parkside do a kit IIRC.

@colasgrid @__grapevine @Dunibear @ScottyRathbone Saw the 747 from near Kegworth but somehow managed to miss the F15s (how I don't know).

[Warrington Bank Quay 'OO' - The Northern Approach @WildBoarModels]

A bit of work on the otherside now, with these grubby 37s about it's starting to look more like Wigan Springs Branch.

I think the layout turns 5 today, come a long way, but still a lot further to go.

Another chance at spoiling a loco, needs new numbers before I get the airbrush out. Working from 1999 photos of 37229 (admittedly not a perfect match detail wise)

@NSE_Latchmere @mattymidland Cheers!

@thewibblyone @NSE_Latchmere Thanks Paul!
