Takes me back to my late teens when I played football for Minsterworth, November games in the Forest.

Just watched the first cut of the DVD, very odd watching yourself on telly, after the first twenty minutes it seems more natural, but it is very odd! This is a shot onto the shelfie project layout through the bridge

The Hornby version has the better cab profile of the pair. I recall a thread which was perhaps about the Agnoria model. If it's the one I'm thinking of its Dingo ugly, with a poor roof/bonnet profile.

Having travelled to Warley last year to see it in the flesh and enjoyed watching it again on your recent DVD I have to say thats good news Paul, I for one hope the 'may' becomes a certainty :)

Thanks Steve and others for the 'likes'. Albion Yard is likely to be integrated into a larger FoD project I'm scheming at the moment. So Albion Yd is likely to become permanently home based. I have in mind other Forest projects that will be exhibitable, which is just as well as one of them is going to an exhibition next year ...

I think your idea of a FoD "system" layout is such a great concept. As the Americans, and indeed the Peter Denny's of this country understood, Railways convey goods and people from place to place. The "British" style, of focus on one place can be superb, but all too often loses that sense of purpose which moving items from A to B gives. This is where the modular groups like Freemo score, with their operations based set ups. Combining that with your undoubted scenic skills sounds like a winner to me.

Yet another lovely conversion Paul, you've certainly made a neat job of removing the top feed and piping. All you need to do now is dust down that Comet A44 driving trailer kit, mind you I can talk :D
