Hornby Railroad A4 Mallard to Silver Fox

This is the start of my OO gauge modeling by detailing and renaming Railroad Mallard to Silver Fox, started by removing the numbering on the cab and nameplates and removing the later BR crest and to be replace with the early one.
Plan on having Mallard in the future but in BR Express blue.
Got new number and etched plates ordered from Modelmaster.

Trains in the garden

Im back but ot 1/144, OO gauge, Zombie post risen from the dead, yeah something new :-)

Was great weather for playing with my old hornby.

For a very long time ive wanted a garden railway, so i got out the old hornby from the loft and set in up on this little wall in the garden, had a great time running this little guys.

He was on the hunt when ever the pug was in action.



Used up every piece of track, needs a good clean to help the dc flow.



I can safely say that out of everything ive got in oo gauge i'd only keep a quarter and dicth the rest. And that quarter would need some work.



Won't be in this garden but i can imagine a great layout for long trains to run on.
