    During my morning stint at Stephenson Railway Museum I had the privilege to see a working model of a Bulleid Leader running on tracks, together with several other diesels, steam and even an electric locomotive. All courtesy of the Meccano Club exhibition for the next few days. Apparently not many folk recognize the Leader, how about it for the next 'New-build' project?

    Website? These days Facebook is the place to be for the fantasy schemes. If you search around the forums you will see we have a couple of experts in that field as members and one will offer you a home I am sure. maybe they will paint the Irish Dmu into Southern Region green so it looks the part.
