Does anybody here have a train set? If so, tell us about it. What era is it set, what location, what rolling stock do you have etc etc
I have one in the attic. It is based in the modern day around the south downs and south coast. My rolling stock consists of a Bacchman Class 170 Southern Railway, it was limited edition by ModelZone. I also have a One Anglia Class 90 and InterCity Class 90. I also have a Regional Railways Sprinter, which doesnt really feature in the south downs ;D It looks a slight disaster, but I find it difficult seeing as trains sets are very expensive, and I dont find much time to get in the attic. It is becoming more of a 'bus set', seeing as i am slightly more interested in buses.

I have a train set, my set isn't set in any era because I collect all sorts, I set it up in my bedroom and my rolling stock consists of: A black BR Pannier tank engine, a Green GWR pannier tank engine, a green BR 14xx tank engine, Smoke Joe and a light green 0-4-0 with "British Railways" on each side of it's tanks.

My layout is a bit confusing to anyone I explain it to. I have a terminus station set in the 1980s/90s NSE, with some sidings and a fueling point. Then it has a section for indoor use that has two tracks converging into one then into a fiddle yard. But when my station is taken outside, its two tracks connect onto a mainline and continues round my garden, with an outside station and into a shed, where the majority of working is taking place ATM. Sadly, this year and last, the railway has seen little uses, due to last years appalling summer and this years time priorities have changed. So it has been a while since a train has traversed my railway, however my layout terminus station sometimes sees use inside. The layout is in its early stages, with no wiring yet. :S The station building is a cheap one I got from a now closed model shop, its a bit rough, so Ive got a new kit to replace it. COMMENTS?

*ADMIN HAT* Please DO NOT quoes posts that are as large as the above!! It's bloody annoying having to scroll through a huge quote to find just a couple of words as a reply!! *ADMIN HAT OFF* d*mn that is one fine layout!!! Wish i had the time, money and patience to do that!! I do have a couple of sets though, one is a Regional Railways Class 170, i think from the Leeds Area. The other is a Virgin Intercity 125 set. Maybe when i'm in my own place, i could start my own landscape

I'm going to wait until I get my own place so that I can build a baseboard.

Sorry about all the pics mate! lol Erm, the terminus staion is about 2ft by 6ft, it goes under bed and rolls on spinney chair wheels. Its taen me ages to do this far. I have a website for my layout, but I warn you that there is a VERY old pic of me and the website was made by me 'best friend' at the time, he is not any more, he went to a different secondary school and turned goth. www.freewebs.com/farleighgardenrailway/

LOVE the 'veg' spotting and photing at the end of the platform! ;D They are presier, you can get them from Modelzone, they are actually foreign. You can get all sorts of funny ones, like people at it, a flasher with her top up, nudists, mermaids and other funny ones. You can also get the more normal ones like passengers standing, sitting, running and camera crew, train/station staff, policemen(which look british), marching bands, soldiers, animals and other street people. Noch also do some 'sexy scenes' www.houseofhobbies.com/nochfigures.html

If you are interested in Model Railways, Id reccomend going to Model Rail exhibitions, which there are lots in the October- May time.

I would recommend the exhibition at Alexandra Palace (The London Festival of Railway Modelling) at about March/April time. I go every year and is the biggest one I have ever been to
