Title: Hello again!!!
Post by: Tackleberry on November 07, 2017, 06:13:03 AM
I'm back again, this time I'm in a different area of the country - Radstock in Somerset!!
Anyway, I now have room to work on my 1/144 airliners and build a model railway so I've decided that it's going to be stone based as Whatley Quarry is literally around the corner...

If you are going to model the quarry there will be more under the baseboard than on top ,would look nice with an excavator moving and a road system with the dump trucks running up and down the quarry road .

Just out of interest what wagons are available, either in RTR or in kit form apart from the PGA?
