Jim's Model Railway Blog

After thirty or more years I'm returning to model railways, a hobby that I started as a kid back in the late 70's but abandoned for more exciting teenage pursuits a few years later. Things have changed a lot over the years, so I'm re-discovering model railway design, construction and operation all over again. I'm planning to build a minimal space shunting layout in OO gauge, starting out small and working out what I'm doing very much as I go along!

GWR Pannier Swap

The Bachmann pannier tank body arrived in the post today, so I have unscrewed the one from the damaged Replica Railways model and swapped it over with the new one. I'm really pleased with the end result, as it gives me an earlier livery version of the 57XX in a lovely shade of GWR green, so that I can run a layout in different time frames. I do really like the 1920's Great Western lettering as well, so it's a good result all round.
