Christmas first running session

I seem to remember hearing that name somewhere before - maybe I've come across it on YouTube at some point?
The layout looks really good: I like the range of stock you have and the operational potential of the trackplan. I look forward to seeing how this develops!

I agree, the trackplan does look interesting and I like your stock, particularly the coaches.

 

[ANWP Tom]

Thanks guys. Taken me quite a while to build up my Regional railways fleet. Provincial is a favorite of mine. Got a specialist Resprayed 08 in provincial on order and would love to expand the coaching stock further to give 4 full rakes.

1 Trans-Pennine 47/4
1 North Wales MK1/2 Mix 37/4
1 Manchester-Blackpool/Barrow MK1 31/37
1 Manchester-Blackpool/Barrow MK2s 31/37
1 Scotrail branded MK2 set 26/37

Your scenic sections are looking brilliant and I like the customised 08, I've never seen one like that before! It's interesting that you had a positive experience with the supplier as many people seem not to.

 

[Cowley]

Much agreed. I’m looking forward to seeing this come together and that 08 is lovely.

That’s a nice little engine and review, thank you for sharing!

Lovely layout, getting the trains running well, and the bridges for a clearance is the backbone of a good layout, once that is all sweet, and you like how it plays,then it is safe to do the scenic area, I like when people choose a specific geographic and era, I run loads of different. But prefer them to run in smaller matching sets, but use the fact my main station is in real life a preservation station allowing me to break all those rules . lovely layout will look out for this as it progresses.
