BR 1980's British Rail Hornby Model Train Layout Part 17

More footage from my 1980's/early 1990's British Rail model railway. Features HSTs, Intercity DVT with Class 87, Class 60 with TEAs, departmental trains and plenty of NSE. And a brief night shot.

How long did it take to make??

Hi, this layout was started in Dec 2004. However, many of the items, especially the kits, date back 30 years. If only I had the same amount of time now as when I was on school holidays! I typically spend 2 hours each Sat & Sun, but generally, only make real progress on the layout during holiday time. regards Nick

wow nice !! At the beginning I thought it was real!! Lol

How big is your layout?

[zzpjl8]

@Tuxedo748 Hello, the layout is 7.2metres by 4.1metres. The room is 8 x 5 metres, so tere is not much room. Anyway, any space that trains are not on is wasted space!!! Thanks for your feedback and question, regards Nick

Nice!!! Is it based on any where in particular? As in an area of England?

[zzpjl8]

Hi there, it is meant to be somewhere very near London allowing Intercity and NSE to be running together. And anything else that comes to mind!

Really good layout will you ever update the layout to include new trains like the class 70 and the pendilno because it would fit in really well with your cool layout its really good

[whatthefudge2009]
