Thanks Chris. :D
I agree P2P, especially Dave Pascoe's Paddington is superb.
(The BR sign is too small, as its re-skinned over the original smaller BR roundel).
Cheers

Luckily it was one of the things that didn't cause a withdrawl, although anything more serious would end in an isolated boiler.

Thanks Ali, considering the age of Paddington station, Dave Pascoe's model is and always was outstanding.
The ambient sounds on the video are Micheal Sinclairs Waterloo 1 and 6.

Thanks :P

I know some are not keen of 'photos' stuck to the sides of boxes (and thats the limit to my re-skinning), but it does help re-create realistic screenshots.
Oh I should add that Reg, as the modeller, has skillfully managed to capture the 'most handsome BR diesel' spot on IMO.
