Great shots of Ashburton, Ashburton to Windrush being one of my favourite little routes. I'd love to read the Greenvale Diaries, if only for the fruity bits!

Thanks Rob. There's nothing to read here! (I've amended the text.....)
Thanks for the comment, but that was actually a Jubilee class 45593 "Kolhapur", also nice reskinNice pic there of the Royal Scot class (8th down). I've made a personal reskin of Royal Scot herself to make her a little bit more reflective in the somewhat harsher lighting of TRS22:

It's all gone a bit quiet around here hasn't it?
I took a snap at Plasmawr Road today. I've been neglecting 'Tristyn in Winter' a bit what with one thing and another so you might see some more snaps fairly soon.

A cup of tea and a chat before heading away from the bay at Rathtyen. A fair bit of Rathtyen is still WIP so I had to watch my camera angles when I took this snap.
4553 at Rathtyen carriage sheds.
This is one of Paulz Trainz older engines that I've fettled a little, - it's a really nice runner. Don't tell anybody, but I've borrowed 4553 from Penzance for a wee bit. Hopefully they won't notice that I've got it.

Some screenshots from my imaginary 'hidden in a fold in the map' Norfolk layout. This is H.T.Co. No.4 at the subshed at Bluebell Magna. No.4's main task is running passenger services to the local stations in the surrounding district. These are archived screenshots taken in an early version of TRS22 in 2023.

It's been a while, your pictures are lovely as ever. I don't know what proper name of Blue Color is, but I like it.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Blue,Hello Kotanga Girl,

Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind comments. The blue colour when cleaner and not so faded is called Ultramarine.
Best,

Testing Imgur; Class 101's at Paulacre Castle, Dearnbyshire....
Some screenshots from the first few "Test Run" sessions around the first of 8 new stations on the Armadale Extension of my F&WVJR St.Ives Route:
"Diddly Squat" (Later Diddly Road) a small halt station that was in operation between 1901-1935. Built on the cheap with the bare basics (wooden platforms, only 1 shelter, 2 goods loops and a single siding serving the goods shed and cattle dock) Diddly Squat Paddock (shortened to Diddly Squat in 1905, and later Diddly Road) was built to serve the farm on the hill above it, and the neighbouring village of Chipping Norton. (Not to be confused with the IRL Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds.) It earned its title due to the namesake farm on the hill, and especially after Chipping Norton gained its own station 1 1/4 miles down the line in 1919, the station saw Diddly Squat in the way of passenger and goods traffic. So, it's no surprise that the FWVJR's board finally voted to close the station to passengers in 1935 as per cost cutting measures.
F&WVJR Ex-GER C32 No.1096 on an up Armadale-St.Ives Stopping train.
As the C32 departs, No.406 an ex-LSWR Drummond 700 (still yet to decide whether to keep such a class around in this livery or not) pulls in on the down line with the pick-up goods.
Due to the lack of adequate space for shunting, footplate crews are often kept on their toes when marshalling trains, especially when the timetable calls for a down express following the goods. in this instance, a bolster of timber and open wagon of wool bales is exchanged for an empty 3 plank, and a covered 16ft wagon with 3 pallets of fertiliser from A.R Cobalt & Co's plant in Ellesville.
One of the local farmers at "Diddly Squat" taking delivery of two brand new Traction engines. However, there's a problem, as soon as they attached the first traction engine to the plough he bought, Mr Clarkson was promptly told by his traction engine driver and farm advisor "That (with a tug on the flat cap) is too big!"
Kind Regards,
Noah

Perhaps... I recall how Jeremy mentioned his dad built a house near the railway line to hear the trains go past, only for BR to shut the railway down shortly after it was finished. And because the irl Chipping Norton isn't near a railway line in at least a 5–10-mile radius, I thought I'd have a go making some stations inspired by the area, and as a nod of sorts to his farming operation.Is that where Jeremy got the name for his farm operation?
