00 Update

Planning for a small indoor 00 layout continues, you can read more about the most recent plan, Wandsworth Road, over on RMWeb. Meanwhile I have been acquiring a few nice loco's: a couple of Heljan 33's & a Hornby 50, all beautifully detailled & great runners; a step up from the Lima kit of my youth!

Eastleigh 100

Looks like the centenary celebrations for the nearby Eastleigh Locomotive Works in May should be worth a visit; plenty of Southern steam locos (from the Watercress line & the Swanage Railway), and classic diesels too.
I couldn't go past Eastleigh on the the train in the 80's without leaning out of the window to get as many numbers as possible, so a chance to have a look around is too good to miss!
