May I ask, are those point control wires (sorry, don't know the technical term) homemade or a kit?

They certainly look realistic.  :thumbsup:

Looks nice @Ensign Elliott - fits in well there.

Thanks - the point rodding is scratch built from plasticard and brass wire. You can see more about them on page 11 of my Lostwithiel layout thread in Layout Construction

That loco certainly looks the part as does the point rodding.

The 'Duchess of Hamilton' is a lovely looking locomotive, as are the whole class.  :thumbsup:

It is indeed. Saw it pop up on Hattons in pre-owned late last week.

I'd be curious to see what else there is. I don't really have a set prototype I model. Just grabbing things here and there. Sets/packs are pretty neat in my book so I go for those.

Gorgeous little 04 shunter in the best livery, seen here stepping onto Troutbeck bridge on the Castle Eden branch.
