A superb layout. I love the Castle and the passenger train. About 20% of my HO layouts rolling stock, locomotives, track, vehicles, buildings, and scenery has seen its 50th birthday, as well as most of my N gauge. (HO, HOn30, N standard, N zoo train/model ride on trains. Same layout. Running HO and N outside in the sun, rain, snow, and especially wind can be fun, and gives the paint jobs a nice patina that makes all the models look very realistic.) Roughly 1/3 of the HO locomotives and 1/2 of the N gauge locomotives that I bought brand new, way back when, before 1980, didn't have what it takes to survive my childhood or being operated outside, or even operated, and were turned into dummies, traded, remotored, or even reframed. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

You are very kind and also absolutely correct in keeping and running your elderly stock. Sometimes, I feel the rush for only brand new, high fidelity, and high tech is overdone. No doubt they have a place, I have some too, but often folk forget that a 50 year old loco was state of the art once, too. Cheers.

Thanks, Bernie. I'll have to accept your concerns with the audio, as I'm very deaf, so I may choose to only use silent movies in the future. Cheers.

Lovely looking layout! Found you from the Railway Modellers Club website. Thanks for sharing. Liked and Subbed Cheers, Andy

[@Paulboy.W.H.R.]

Many thanks, Andy. It's pretending to be a Heritage Railway, but with an agreement to use the mainline to access the main station. Hence, it is a mix of old and new stock. Rule one definitely applies here. Cheers.

@@Paulboy.W.H.R. Rule one always applies! I have some American rolling stock and locos running around my UK layout!! :) Cheers, Andy
