Exeter show update…

The RS Tower layout will be appearing at the Exe MRS’s Exeter model railway exhibition in 2011 along with fourteen Freemo modules, most of which have either never been seen in public before or have been altered or upgraded since the last time they have been shown. The RS Tower layout along with the modules [...]

After the Exe Show – thoughts…

Progress, Show Reminders & Videos…

Yes, another one of my horribly infrequent updates! The layout is up and running again – here’s a bit of proof… That has allowed us to do a few bits more on scenery, the kinds of things that are hard to finish off when the layout is in 4′ chunks but are a relative breeze when [...]

Grade crossings and module progress

We’ve just started working on grade crossing protection and signalling – images of the progress so far can be found on the fotopic site: http://modelrailpics.fotopic.net/c735837.html Neil Rogers is also working hard on his first two 45 degree curve modules - pics can be found at his fotopic site here: http://neil-rogers.fotopic.net/c1644146.html Enjoy!

Happy Christmas to you all!

I figured that I’d better do a pre-Christmas update, as i’ve yet again been patently rubbish at writing these! So – here we go:
