The two end coaches on the diesel hauled train look interesting - what are they, please?

If you water the railway, does it grow?

They're 4 wheel PIKO coaching stock. DB. They came in a starter set by PIKO with a little black diesel. Lovely, reliable little coaches that don't give any grief.

Could not agree more. Yes, I have both my Bosch mini hedge trimmer/lawn edger and one of their strimmers. Best bits of kit in the shed. Max

I was concentrating on the railway so much I failed to appreciate the architecture. I presume it is a townhouse community ? If I may I'd like to add some hopefully constructive criticism. Those two black boxes would look nicer, in my opinion, painted to match the color of the brick.

I guess they've just remained black to match the guttering, aircon and down pipes. We did have them cream a little while ago to match the windows and doors, but got fed up of painting them every year
Yes, those boxes are convenient, but no-ones ever been able to keep the paint on them for more than a year! The plastic is definitely not paint friendly!I guess they've just remained black to match the guttering, aircon and down pipes.

Even with Krylon spray paint that is supposed to be for plastic ?

I can't imagine me with spray paint in the garden, it'd end up half way up the house!

Just a man in the middle of a complicated plan.
Right, just need some maps, local instructions and how many day road learning do I get?

TBH I'm not sure, it probably would do, but when the plastic outside meter boxes were introduced here, the paints available weren't really up to scratch (!), and quickly wore off. A lot of customers were put off by them as they were convenient for the utility staff needing access, making it easier to be disconnected on non-payment of bills. Nowadays it can be done remotely of course.
