    Hi Steve
    Love your modelling of this famous stretch of railway, it has taken me back to childhood family holidays. I remember there being a museum of railwayana and a layout at Dawlish Warren station.

    Nice, and I especially like your work on the track around the grease pot, such a real, but unglamorous thing that always tends to be forgotten.
    Not that I can tell from here but i hope you haven't added a realistic smell to the grease, not one of the best rail smells!
    Cheers
    Tony
