89001 making its way through the yards at Birchley Heath, and then passing at speed on the charter rake. I cannot praise this model highly enough - they really have captured the look of this unique locomotive brilliantly. #train #trains #model #modelrailway #TMRG #TMRGUK

Oh now this is special! The badger has landed and it’s looking absolutely fabulous! I still remember my excitement of seeing this hauling a test train through Crewe not long after it was built. #train #trains #model #modelrailway #TMRG #TMRGUK

Went in Glenfield tunnel today. Glenfield is a village just outside Leicester and the tunnel, when built in 1832 was the longest railway tunnel in the world! Now closed of course but opens occasionally to visitors #train #trains #model #modelrailway #TMRG #TMRGUK
