Getting withdrawal symptoms. Its two weeks since the last Cooper Hire MRC layout photo session when the BBC filmed Dduallt for a spring TV programme on the history of railway preservation. However, the wait was over when Trevor and Mrs Jones from the HORNBY magazine arrived on Friday to photograph our New Mills layout for an issue in early 2013. This is ahead of next years Hornby Model Rail Show in July when we exhibit the layout in its current 1960s guise at the Hartlepool venue...taking a bit of the West Coast main line up the east coast !
The session included some video sequences that may appear on the HORNBY magazine website. The new Bachmann AL5 in its initial electric blue livery featured, a super model but it will never possess the character and personality of our fleet of reworked Trix / Lilliput versions of the early LMR electrics, created by Phill Hutchings and the Artistic Director and nearly as old as the real thing!
While we wait for the HORNBY magazine feature here is another super shot of New Mills by Chris 'Fisheye' Nevard..
