Looks FANTASTIC Annie! That station layout radiates Edwardian energy, and I absolutely love it!

Excellent shot of the little J69 too! I love those little buckjumpers, and I hope one day Connor makes them available for public use!

Hi Tanker, thanks for your kind comments. The E22's I commissioned (or J65's as the LNER called them) haven't been released yet as I know that Connor was well involved with his final year at university. He did send me a note a short while ago to say that he was going to be working on commissions again, but I haven't heard anything since.

Good looking work from you as well with your own SR projects. Lewes certainly had an interesting station layout.

Between October 2023 and December 2024 I extensively modified nexusdj's 1970s-1980s version of euromodeller's 'Minories' back into the pre-WW1 era. I used C.J.Freezer's later 'Crutched Friars' version of 'Minories' as a guide. It was the usual story for me, - I wasn't well and I was looking for something to distract myself with. The silly thing about it though was not long after I considered it complete I forgot about it and left it to gather digital dust and cobwebs. Perhaps it's well time for me to take it up again and blow the dust and cobwebs away.

Under the train shed roof. A LTSR Class 79 still in original green livery can be seen behind the arches on Platform 2 with a train of Midland 6 wheel coaches.

GER Class E22 No.153 converted to a 2-4-0T waits at Platform 3.

Great stuff Annie. I had the same idea, but in the opposite direction...

On RMWeb there is a very long and ongoing discussion about 'Minories' and various ways folk have modified and enhanced it. For such a simple idea for a compact city layout it's certainly inspired a lot of railway modellers.
