Aster LGB electric Hudson

[main131]

A pretty fabulous machine as you would expect from these two companies.
Huge haulage capacity with no slipping, tremendous sound and huge ambience.

It certainly has the WOW factor.

Very Nice Trevor

Would that be from the Mainline Thurnby shed or a Visitor ?

Also I noticed a New junction, in between the bridges and station, One heard you been a busy chap, or at least Neil has!

By the way, Neil who?,,,,

I love Hudson's , they might even make it into my all time top ten steam loco's . Well done for avoiding tripping over the steps!
Cheers Garry
P.S. V2 's would be the number 1

Ok West is Best I will admit to Neil and his pointwork, Well spotted!
What you see is a Gauge 3 (64mm) combined turnout with 45mm track.This is not that easy and we have tried it in the past without a great success. The problem is the frog size to allow 2 different gauges to run through.
This time looks good due to a bit (actually a lot) of inovation from Neil. You will have to see it on your next visit.
The picture shows a G3 DMU moving across the turnout as dusk arrived this evening. Hence the picture is a lttle dull...

smoothside NYC , excelent quality coaches with fully fiitted interiors and lights , but i did not like the dull green colour scheme ,

Green? They were dark blue/ grey last time I saw them, have you been up all night again? do you get a feeling you are going to find this crops up again like another coach colour question
