A couple of videos of the South Pelaw layout showing an Accurascale Class 37 in action:

A couple of photos from Malcolm Braim with less than 3 months to go until the closure of the steelworks…

Taking inspiration from a Bill Jamieson photo taken in September 1970, we’ve recreated the event on the layout:

A couple of Bill Wilder photographs, with thanks to Neil Patterson and the Wakefield Railway Modellers Society.

A short video showing a few trains running up and down the length of the layout. We were just ‘playing trains’ when I took these so I am aware of the incongruity of a Q7 passing a Class 37…

It has been a while since the last update so here are four shots of the last train at Consett on 17 March 1984 from Bill Wilder, with thanks to Neil Patterson and the Wakefield Railway Modellers Society.
