Lightning done

Project #063, an English Electric Lightning, has been completed and lovely it looks too! Next up will probably be another Tiger Moth.

Waggon 9!

Usually we have to wait months between new stock arriving but the 9th waggon follows fast on the er.. wheels of the 8th. Its another open waggon but this is our first Roco one and very nice it is too.

Waggon 8

A bout of illness has meant i haven't done a great deal Eskalon wise lately, though there has been plenty of running. I was able to just sit down and watch the trains go by! A new waggon has just arrived though, a bit of green. Its the older green version of the Liliput equipment van (the current brown one was Waggon #2).

OO gets an airing

Some home improvements have meant that Eskalon hasn't been very easy to operate lately (unless i've wanted to move a dozen boxes out of the way!) However it did mean my boxed up OO scale railways were out of their usual hiding place so i took the opportunity to take a few photos. One day i may build another OO scale railway, so these locos may yet run again though they haven't run now for over 20 years!

D16 freight

Another video from recent operations, Eskalon's flagship loco D16 Falcon takes the daily freight.

Eskalon gets some cars

I plan to add a road crossing soon to the layout but wanted to get a few HO scale cars first to help me know what size "tarmac" i need to cut and so forth. So here we go: 3 cheap HO scale cars procured from eBay. The Shell petrol garage can actually have some customers now...

Freight service

Another video, this one of the Jam Sandwich hauling a decent sized freight train.
