what was the last train to run on your layout?

[4x2]

Ran these Lifelike FA1 and FB1 units last nite on my mates layout... They really are up there with the best - Kato and Atlas should be worried ! Such slow running, very very quiet and really powerful, anybody into US 'N' scale you really must get some of these !!!

I must confess... I haven't started my US layout yet - still gathering bits, but it's coming !

While I was doing a bit of faffing on the layout I was running my old class 33 with 3 x green MK1's. Unfortunately this then turned into the same 3 Mk1s pulled by a green Warship then a green Std 5. I finished up with a weathered green Teddy Bear pulling 15 x weathered Presflos around
I know I should be doing something else but I just can't resist the temptation to play trains

Technically the last "Train" to run was an empty stock move, RFD 08 and 8 HAA's

But this morning there were several light engine movements from the TMD to "rest of the world" as I cleared the way for more work on the layout.

Unlike Nobby, I didn't play at all

Class 33 taking some Siphon-Gs and CCTs from the WR carriage sidings down the City branch to get them out of the way while I relaid some sidings, returning light engine, hanging about a bit then testing all the new trackwork.

Last train to run on my layout was a Minitrix Ivatt 2MT with 3 LMS Crimson coaches and what a wonderful experience it was, gee I wish Hornby would re-release the Hornby Minitrix stuff.

My last train to run was this Atlas BNSF dash 8-40B and Kato Amtrak phase II 'Superliners'.

Both excellent models and will be the last to run on 'Earlstone Creek' for a while as i've got a few improvements to make, mainly removing the 9" curves and replacing with 10 3/8" curves so i can run more 6 axle stuff !

Thanks newportnobby, if they're still there Friday i'll get one, but i'm saving my cash for my trip to Telford in the morning. I've been invited to the 'International Plastic Modellers Society' annual show and i'm hoping to pick up an airbrush and compressor set. If i'm really lucky, i might find that model kit of the yellow loader from 'Aliens' i've always wanted... (yes, i'm a sci fi nut too... )

Had a bit of an 8 axle running sesh yesterday.
I have 3 x class 40's and 3 x Peaks so let them all stretch their legs a bit.


And they're all green

Last train was a 4CIG working the 2310 Waterloo to Salisbury City, then ECS to Salisbury South EMU depot.

Tomorrow it will be rested, and its diagram taken over by a Jaffa cake 4CEP.
