Return of Glasburgh the ‘Trainset!’

 

Having a second ‘mid life’ crisis after a couple of brushes with cancer some things from an earlier, worry free time become more important. As a boy and youth I had a trainset ( more than model)  in my attic. It grew over the years into a pretty good layout. 
Two circuits, terminus station (Glasburgh) a mainline station and a small preserved railway. It also included an up and over loop on the old Hornby piers. It is time to re create the joy of this railway! Where? In a garage/workshop 40 years on.

Update

An important loco 27 024

An important loco ( to both me and my friend Ken Joy ) has been acquired! 27 024 means a lot as Ken put forward a successful package to buy 27 024 and I contributed a very small amount at the time. 27 024 is still in working order at Caledonian Railway and runs in green livery ( although the model has no D like the current real version.  Ken’s train set is 1:1 scale!  I have recently had a couple of cab rides with Ken at the controls… a long time since our bashing days! Now the bad news…
