    I have been modelling Hereford's railways in N for a number of years. The vicarage loft has provided excellent space to do this. This has resulted in a growing interest in the North West Route through the Welsh Marches. Thus first blog post in this thread relates to some of the websites I have visited while exploring the potential of the area around Hereford for modelling .....

    This next post is the first in a series of posts about the layout that I have been developing in the Vicarage loft over the past few years. The layout includes Barrscourt Station in Hereford, and the MPD in the Barton area of Hereford.

    And there's me saying I'm looking forward to seeing the layout post's and you've beaten me to it.

    Impressive build so far, I can see the attraction of N when you see how much you can fit in without it looking to cramped - if only I could see the models :whatever:.

    Looks like you're heading for the fun bit next - scenic s.

    Cracking modelling space Roger, and I like the collection of photos of Hereford. Very atmospheric.

    Cheer's, Pete.

    Hello Roger, that's a lovely footbridge model you have there and nicely detailed too, for me however with my eyes
    N Gauge is just a footbridge too far:avatar: ... following you blog with interest btw.

    Thank you York Paul.

    I have to used a set of magnifying glasses at times.

    The main feature of any layout is usually the railway station. I was delighted when my father-in-law, who had his own O-Gauge layout decided to make the station building for me in N-Gauge. ..... This is the first of a series of posts about the construction of the station building. Sadly, since completing his articles and the building of both the station and the two large good sheds we lost David to cancer.
