My nameless layout

A few pics of my layout, started as 60's BR transition period, however I do like the blue era and some modern stuff, so modellers licence for me :D
Most loco's, coaches and wagons are still in the boxes since the colder period and include many Midland region and BR Standard steam loco's, including 5 Black 5's 3 of which have sound. Also have plenty of Class 25, Class 47 and Class 37 diesels, 5 with sound and 2 sound fitted Dapol Class 68's.
Still have a lot to do with ballast and scenery etc (and a fallen tree :D ) but 'we're getting there'

Had to chuckle BB at your title, nameless layout. The main station on my very first layout back in the 1970s was called Denton station. I thought it was a fictitious place name. I found out years later it was place near Manchester. Not a good choice of station name as all my trains were GWR.

I have a shortlist of names but still have not decided which to use for either the main station of the village halt. We used to go to the BR open days at Denton works back int 70's.
Thanks for your kind comments.

many thanks for your comments everyone,
photo's from my phone but too much glare from the street lights but you can see what's going on nonetheless.
