    Morning all

    Last weekend was the first Swanage model railway event, a superb weekend where it felt very much like a gala!



    Enjoy
    Matt :)

    Comparison of the T3 model and 563 in sunlight really points up the problem of colour matching in models. I bet the model looks different under artificial light.

    After seeing this post, and the train arrive at Swanage just after 15:00 as I left my dad's flat, I thought I at least ought to get a record shot. A nice mix of stock as well. DSC_0308_1r.JPG least ought to get a record shot.

    The B Set has had a shuffle after the arrival of the GW Inspection Saloon, with the Mk1 TSO being removed from the set and the Inspection Saloon replacing it. The Maunsells and Bulleid CK have also been reordered. I can only presume it’s running as a 3 and not a 4 (not including the Inspection Saloon!) so that whichever Maunsell is running on the Cream Tea services this weekend can be prepped.

    7 coaches on the set in the bay today when I walked back from my Dad's. So I guess some shuffling still to come. The saloon has been against the stops in the bay since at least yesterday when I went past.
