Western Thunderer
Ok I know its a rubbish title for a thread but its the best I can come up with. I didn't want to call it a workshop thread (I may well start one of those at some point) because it won't be that well organised. The idea is that it will become a repository for all sorts of random (see what I did there!) pictures of my 2mm stuff, layouts, models, visiting locos etc.
I have two layouts, Highbury and Tucking Mill, which are regularly seen on the exhibition circuit and I actively encourage 2mm modellers to bring their latest project along to any show we attend for a spin up the North Somerset Light. Both are ostensibly set in the 1920's when the NSLR was just about turning a profit although the meagre passenger service was living on borrowed time. That said I have an increasing selection of Western region stock from the late 60's, early 70's period which is right at the start of my own railway interest and my earliest memories as a young boy. We are starting to do the odd day at selected two day shows in this later period.
In addition I am also very slowly plodding along (twenty odd years and counting) with my magnum opus, a model of Bath Queen Square (renamed Green Park in the early 50's) again set in the 1920's.
All three layouts will feature in the thread in a fairly unstructured but hopefully interesting way.
I've heard a rumour that there are one or two members of this group that like their WR diesels so I will start with a handful of shots of Highbury, all 4'6"x18" of it, from the camera of that fantastically talented Mr Nevard.
