A long way from home.

Occasionally Class 50s made their way to Leeds Central on the Plymouth to Leeds Express Service. (I have a picture of one departing Central Station on its return to Plymouth.)

Here is 50007 'Hercules' on such a service being diverted via Sovereign Street, Stourton Junction rejoining the main line south at Lofthouse.

Another engine a long way from home. Inverness based Class 37 37026 'Glencairn' on its way to Newcastle diverted on the old Leeds, Scarcroft and Wetherby line; then to York and Newcastle.

First time I have tried making my own trees.

What did you make the trees from?

Hi bulleidboy.
I made them a sort of traditional way. A little plastic coated wire twisted and shaped. Added light brown decorators moss to the shape I wanted. Sprayed it with cheap hairspray. Ground cover sprinkled over the moss and sprayed again with the hairspray. About ten minutes per tree using moss I have had a few years. Where they are on the layout is 'a little in the distance'.

I have used the moss before, but only as bushes for ground cover. I thought I would give making some trees a go. (Got plenty of time. )

The old trees have gone. New views from the control area

At the junction Class 27 27037 is heading to Crown Point.
Just behind the new trees at the front is Class 121 on its way to Seacroft ----- 27037 in the distance.
