Nottingham Victoria by Tony Phillips
In the February issue of BRM, I showed a few photos taken last year when I went over to Australia to talk to the British Railway Modellers of Australia convention. After the main event, we enjoyed a couple of days visiting members layouts around Adelaide.
One of the highlights was Tony Phillips model of Nottingham Victoria. This lives in a 40ft by 32ft railway room and is simply awe inspiring when you see it. Reader Keith Dyson from Nottingham e-mailed me to ask if I had any more photos. Well, it's taken me a while to find them, but here are more shots of this amazing project.
Looking inside the train shed, still unfinished but looking good.
The builder usually finds himself in charge of the MPD during operating sessions.
Coal traffic is important and on a layout this large, you need a big loco to handle it.
Finally, the man who built all this, Tony Phillips.
Thanks again to the British Railway Modellers of Australia. If you are planning a trip "down under", get in touch with them as they are a friendly bunch with some great model railways.
