That's stunning !

Who's doing the Golden Ocre one again ?

Craig

I believe it's Cheltenham Model Centre.

That's awesome, you can almost make out the Ransomes and Rapier crane in the background as it pulls a rake of coaches through...

...superb.

You're still not thinking this through thoroughly...

...ALL the best layouts now have seasons.

So you have the pristine one to crack along in the summer sunshine, and the weathered one for the mucky autumnal/wintery days.

Obvious really.

I'll have the old pristine one - doesn't have yellow ends does it? They're what's putting me off wanting these pending releases.

@ntpntpntp Sorry, Nick, but it has small yellow panels.
The prototype only had no yellow panel between Dec 61 and Nov 62

@Newportnobby Interesting, I wonder why I have it in my head that the original Osborns model had plain ends? .

My Lima OO (wash my mouth out) model has no SYPs.

@ntpntpntp Just in case you can be tempted (the bullets are not for sale!!!)

Perhaps, like me, you have a much thumbed copy of the Ian Allan "Rail Portfolios 10: The WR Diesel-Hydraulics" with D1000 resplendent on the front cover? It's so burned onto my retinas that I can only ever see the loco without SYP
