    What a gala it was, great visitors and the home fleet locos were all in fine form. Star of the show in my opinion was the Hymek, she was brilliantly loud on the Saturday

    Never saw any London Underground stuff? Was it underground? 😅 When I was there in 2018 there was a ScotRail 156 running around the other layout which judging by the mountains and viaducts was based on Highlands. Thanks for posting Arthur, hope your well

    Hi Pal There was a small section of the underground which I didn’t cover on the lay out. Did see any Scotrail units unfortunately, there was some track lifted in a few places maybe it was from that ? Found it interesting especially the port area and seeing the tractor (Was in shock) !! The Lego layout of all the countries is fantastic, very detailed and attention to detail. We are all ok down here hope the same for you mate. 👍
