Had a great time in Scotland the past few days as I went to Model Rail Scotland. Brilliant layouts, on display and you can even in the words of Jen 'You know the Rules' at the show as well. Hoping to get back to Scotland in the Summer. Scotland is my happy place 👍

8 months after they entered service, managed to ride the Avanti West Coast Class 805. Only a short hop from Tamworth to Lichfield Trent Valley, the seat and the ride was good, but will have to try them longer for a better verdict. 805001 was my first unit I rode on.

This is currently grinding my gears as the BRM Doncaster show guide has very little information about the layouts and the layouts owners... looking online for finding the layouts which were filmed and there not much info or misleading info... ugh!

Tomorrow's video sees me in the Hampshire travelling on a Railway line that opened in 1841 but closed 4 days later! But the problem of why it closed is kind of still happening today as I meant to do this line in 2024 Channel Members/Patreon can watch the video right now. will be out at 5pm Sunday

Did have a plan to chase a Class 68 locomotive with MK5 coaches to Long Marston, but the path ended up being cancelled, so instead... I went to Hyde Central to see what the fuss is about that @jenonthemove.com keeps mentioning about this station 😂
