Model Rail Scotland

A great weekend in Scotland - well 5 days actually when you take in the Thursday night set up and Friday opening. Good to see so many friends from down south - more than we see at local shows which says something about Glasgow's pulling power!
In good company too with the likes of Portchullin (still not seen an otter!), New Hey, Pempoul and the legendary Borchester. A quiet night or two in the Counting House to round things off.
Phill Hutchings scratchbuilt AL4 had its first outing on New Mills, fittingly performing just a few miles from it's North British birthplace. Probably the most unusual bodywork on any of the early electrics but Phill has captured its lines superbly. It behaved impeccably, hauling our longest anglo scottish sets with ease, something the original members of this class found rather challenging!
