New blog now up - building a Lego branchline www.amchester.com/blog/buildin... #legocity #lego #legotrains #modelrailway #legotown

Ambridge station is back! This first debuted smaller and shorter around 2019, and after a lot of time in boxes I decided it was time for a rebuild and return to life as part of the new @lukrailway.bsky.social branchline. #lego #legotrains #legocity #legofans #legophotography

A southern invader: Henry’s Southern Railways class 377 and Shane’s class 101 sitting in @amchesterbricks.bsky.social’s Ambridge station on the @lukrailway.bsky.social branchline at Bricktastic 2026. #lego #legotrains #modelrailways #modeltrains

I managed to build this one reasonably quickly - a few weeks, between other sections of scenery, and was about finished when Nic pointed out the obvious mistake with the retaining walls. Hastily rebuilt in time for the show… #legotrains #lego #modelrailway #lgauge

Lewis’ Thomas model on my Hollerton Bridge, part of the @lukrailway.bsky.social branchline. A bridge was inevitable (can’t stop, won’t stop), and I picked a small profile bridge crossing a shallow river to give a bit of variety to the land.

Can’t wait!

See you there!

Thirsk Brick Show is almost a month away! Join us for LEGO model displays by Brick Alley members, activities, and trade stands on Saturday 7th February at Thirsk Town Hall. #thirskbrickshow #legoshow #northyorkshire

Finally remembered - a few new blog posts up on the website, including one about my LEGO Tesco & B&Q store models on the @lukrailway.bsky.social layout. #lego #legocity #legotown

Tidying up the LEGO room ahead of a move, found 4 Circuit Cubes I had forgotten about 😂

Had a blast at the National Festival of Railway Modelling 2025 with @lukrailway.bsky.social talking to the public about the LEGO train hobby. A few more converts created this weekend I think!

Plus, nice to spend time with these people who feel like a second family. #lego #legotrains #modelrailway

Our next event for the northern club layout is the National Festival of Railway Modelling on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November at the NEC - come and see the Forth Bridge, plus new scenery, locos and rolling stock for its final display this year! #lego #legotrains #modeltrains #modelrailway

My absolute favourite model on display at Shildon Brick Show this week was Mark Danforth’s mosaic of the Japanese kanji characters for “train”. Beautifully done, and I love the tiny trains that form the background! #lego #legoart #shildonbrickshow #legomosaic #legomodels #legotrains

That was largely Lewis’ handiwork - looks great!

My new @lukrailway.bsky.social module on display at @brickalleylug.bsky.social Shildon Brick Show this weekend: B&Q and Tesco superstores, with interiors.

You can’t have a B&Q car park without a burger van…

Locomotion No1 in three liveries, built by Henry in @lukrailway.bsky.social. Absolutely love them! #lego #legotrains #lgauge

Standard IET cab state at @brickalleylug.bsky.social Durham Brick Show this weekend. Nice to see lots of familiar faces, plus a few new ones. #lego #legotrains #durhambrickshow #legomodels #legofans #legocity #modeltrains #lgauge

For a small show, the quality was very high

Got to pop in to Harrogate Model Railway Show today. Some excellent layouts on display - plenty of inspiration! #modeltrains #modelrailway

My new module for the @lukrailway.bsky.social Southern Club - Uffingbrick White Horse - is on display as part of the Brick Weekend at Severn Valley Railway. #lego #legotrains #legomodels

A selection of our best crashes from the weekend at Locomotion Museum. Nice to speak to visitors of all ages! #lego #legotrains #legomoc #legomodels #lgauge #legotrainclub #legocity #legotown

Network Snail enjoying his time at Locomotion museum with @lukrailway.bsky.social. #lego #legomodels #legocity

Nice to see L Gauge getting some recognition at model railway shows!

It’s been sat to one side for quite a while, and the club layout appearing at our club event at @severnvalleyrailwayofficial (come and see us in Highley Engine House on 2nd and 3rd August!) was the motivation I needed to get it polished and ready for display.

Another teaser, this time for some scenery for the @lukrailway.bsky.social southern club layout.

Our northern club layout including the Forth Bridge is on display this weekend at Chatham & District Model Railway Club’s Chatham Show at the brilliant Historic Dockyard Chatham. #legotrains #modelrailway #lgauge #legotrain

The oldest railway bridge in continuous use in the world, Skerne Bridge is celebrating 200 years in 2025. This is the bridge as it was originally built - after a landslide additional stonework was added in 1829.
