Spotted this rather good layout on YouTube.
@martyn @icairns look what appears at roughly 2.55 in

That is a nice layout. I was a bit put off by the loco sounds, though. I'm a bit old fashioned and actually like the sound of an electric toy train running. Loco sound always sounds fake to me. Ah well, each to his own.

I then got distracted and followed the link to Pecorama layouts. 20 minutes of OO and one OO9 layout with everything whizzing round at 200 mph. Ugh.

I thought the Jinty was quite well synched. The diseasels were 'as per' but their horns were not sounded, thank goodness

@Newportnobby
This is a really good layout. Many thanks for pointing it out.

The BTH Type 1 (later Class 15) at 2:55 is also a very nice model. Based on the position of the head code discs, I would say that this is a Parkwood resin kit rather than a Kingdom Kits white metal kit. It is running on a GF Class 20 chassis and it has been finished very nicely.

Thanks,Ian.
I was thinking more of the recent green/grey discussion.

Saw this layout at the Letchworth Show last Saturday. Very nice indeed. I took details to pass on to our Exhibition Manager in SW Herts MRS. Along with 3 other layouts at the show.

Yes, I was looking at that, too. In the video, the Class 15 roof colour looks green.

We had two of the cl 15s running at Chatham, together with a cl 16. They appear-briefly-in a couple of the YouTube videos taken on the day. One was used as JS goods yard shunter, one appeared on the main line with a goods.

I think I'll have to do a partial repaint of the roofs to include the grey cab.......
