Finally got to see the Flying Scotsman 😍

The front end of the Flying Scotsman at a train station. The Flying Scotsman is in dark green and black liver with a red front buffer block. To the right of the train there is a speed limit sign saying “15”. The platform has several people looking at and taking pictures of the train

Great time today at Southampton Model Railway Exhibition.

Thanks to David and the McKinley Railway team for answering my many DCC and computer-control questions. I've been following the project for years, so it was fun to talk to the people behind it.

World's Greatest Train Journeys from Above (S1) 📺

5/5 - I know I'm a train nerd, but this was fantastic. I think I have some new travel goals. The DHR's NDM6 was a real delight, it reminds me of a mini Class 08 🥰. Also the Hudson Bay Railway's green and white stripe livery is 😍

Had a great time at Fareham Model Railway Exhibition. It was my first time going to a show since moving to the UK, and it did not disappoint. Thanks to the Bridgeburry Gate team, who thoroughly explained their ingenious n-gauge uncoupling system.
