you do mention the pain track (Peco)

I thought was Peco points that are a pain? At least, as they come in the box....

Well spotted mate.

Thank you for the prompt reply, it doesn't look Peco.

Careful hand weathering of both rails and sleepers helps disguise it's origins.

Is this a crop of a photo? I'm more taken by the two coaches on the right parked on Station Approach.

The livery looks like Boddy's of Bridlington, United Automobile Services (which also served North Yorkshire) or Yorkshire Woollen District.

It's a Yelloways Coach.

I have a whole collection of bus and coach pictures the photographer (a late neighbour of mine in Brid) took in between trains!

To be honest you rarely saw Boddy's coaches in the station coach park. They tended to drop off, pick up and park at their office and garage in nearby West Street. They did similar at their Morrel Street Office and Garage in Hull.

Thanks, Yelloways was fourth on my list but didn't think a Lancashire coach would venture across the border.

The station approach looks like where express and day trip coaches parked up.

This bus and coach collection would be worth a thread in its own right - especially if they are from the same time period.

Radiator coolant, I think. A very common feature of the weathering of Derby type 2s, but other types as well.

I had to ask Adam as i don't think I've seen it before and i do a bit of weathering so I'm always looking at photos for new ideas .

Has anyone from GOG asked you to attend a show with this layout . If you were at Guildex this year, that would possibly persuade me to go, and it's a long flight , 20 plus hours .

You best think about that for next year then as I can confirm that we have accepted an invite to show the layout at Guildex in September 2026!.
