Thanks for all your comment, guys. Much appreciated. I shall let you know I am still around even if not posting. Ninemil. Welcome on board. Glad you like the layout. I am trying to make it a 'Living Model Railway' with everything having a reason. Remembering to see what I see and not what I think I ...

The engine runs round the coaches and hooks up for the return journey. The 'fun' really starts when goods trains are running...

Whilst I am posting a picture or two of cars, here is another one. Last year or so (pre Covid 19) my younger granddaughter and I would visit model railway shows and 1-1 big stuff. Anyway, whilst at the Hartlepool Show, she bought me this 'old timer'. It is parked in pride and place at Roseville Stat...

An idea you could try with your locos, maybe, MG?
