The name comes about from an altogether different source, John!

My street is called St. Mary's Meadow, and someone made the mistake of calling it St. Mary Mead Rolling Eyes

I was stuck with names for the layout, Brandy Hole Lane MPD was another option but St. Mary Mead was a good choice I felt.

Just finished painting one of the boards:

Ignore the time that it was posted, I think it is working off of US time...

This morning I also received another loco for the layout, a Class 73 in GBRf livery. I have already run it in and added a decoder. No pics, but here is a link to a pic:

I'm getting slightly high off of the mix of paint and white spirit fumes in here!  q22

Will you be using Code 75 or Code 100 track? I like the idea of a mainline steam shed, much better than all those layouts that just have whatever locos on.

Code 75, as all bar one of my locos is brand new.

Thanks, it will certainly add something different to it. Rather unlike other MPD/TMD layouts where all you see are very modern diesels like 66's and 60's.
