Model Railways 8 months agoI don’t have a layout, but enjoy modelling. Here’s my latest conversion of a run down eBay purchase into RTC test Car 2

Two of the six layouts which will be making their public debuts in December at the Manchester Model Railway Society’s Centenary Exhibition. Port du Crozon, 1/50 scale metre gauge set in Brittany in the 1950s, and Littledene, OO, set in 1930s East Sussex. Both of their owners have won awards at previous MMRS exhibitions.
