Hello again.
The renovated Truescale stations described in my last post are now in place on my round-the -room shelf top layout.
With the rail level at a height of 5 feet 9 inches, a lightweight folding aluminium decorators trestle is used for operation. My layouts are stacked with O, HO, and N on the lower levels. These photographs show Trix Twin post war items, but in pre-grouping livery. At this point in time the Trix lithographic tin printing on the LMS, LNER and Southern coaches is of a very high standard. The printing of the private owner goods wagons is also excellent......I think the best of any 00 items, far superior to later plastic items from any manufacturer.
I have just had a few good hours playing trains, and took these shots during the session today. What better way to spend an afternoon when it is O deg C outside?
