Time for another trip down the track that heads to what was before. Inspiration comes in many forms, sometimes it's visiting a layout, sometimes seeing a model in person, sometimes vintage film of your favorite prototype, or a favorite photograph. This week's vintage Thursday is a few photographs, from a generic book titled "Model And Miniature Railways" by Patrick Whitehouse and John Adams. A very large format book I've looked through hundreds of times from childhood to today, some 25+ odd years. The series of photographs below is one reason I've always had an interest in Victorian Steam Railways, and a desire to build a model of them in some small way.
(Two others being Thomas The Tank Engine , and Ivo Peter's superb colour films).
The Layout is Dean Bridge, and was built by Anthony Murray. You don't see many model railways depicting the earlier periods of pre-grouping much these days. Fantastic, and the colour Photographs taken by B. Monaghan really brings it to life. Enjoy ! (Oh, and of course, it's O gauge :)
