Made a start on the Roden Type B bus. Such a different experience to the 1/32 scale fire engine! I’ve decided to build the lower deck unglazed and fit the clear plastic sheet after painting.
We were delighted to support the Miniature Railway at the Glebelands yesterday at their penultimate open day of the 2026 season, and showcase our modular layout created by our members once again. So here's a showcase of some of the highlights from our railway, and those at the Glebelands.

Our wonderful wagons are heading out across the country and beyond. If you have yours already, post your pictures below of them working on your layouts! #ngauge #privateownerwagon #newportdocks
My two #Airfix fire engines together - 1/32 scale Dennis and 1/43 scale Series 1 Land Rover - both with light and sound effects provided by @pimoroni.com Tiny FX.
My vintage Airfix Dennis fire engine is finished - complete with lights and sound effects provided by the Tiny FX controller in the back. 1970s kit with 2026 tech. #HistScaleModels
Already thinking about my next @pimoroni.com Tiny FX application, and I’ve got an idea for the model railway, but need some of the bits from the old layout that have been languishing in the shed. Quite a lot of repairs needed to my old Metcalfe buildings and faded home-printed surfaces.
