Reevo, the landlord of The Idler of Tangier pub, once again has organised a pub crawl (of sorts) called ‘The Christmas Pudding’. This year he even bought a headboard. There is some food available on board, but people are mainly leaving room for the beer, sherry and whiskey. 🎄🍺🥃 #bsmrguk
So, I’ve been super busy of late, but it was good to get the layout moving again this evening just in time for Christmas! 🎄 #bsmrguk
Love that! I’m in the 150/2! So many core childhood memories unlocked!
@mrclotilde.bsky.social Blocked!!
You may be right! Maybe it’s a question for @dunwoodywayetmd.bsky.social as he was the mastermind being the #TMRGUK badges!
I’ve used both #tmrguk and #bsmrguk. Not a definitive answer, I know!
A great thread and a great idea to introduce/reintroduce us all to your layout! Would be great to see a few more of these from the #BSMRGUK/#TMRGUK!
As for your layout, I love the colours of the Highland landscape/setting. Perfectly evocative of the real location!
Welcome!
👋🏼 Hi there! Could I be added too?
Thanks for this! It made joining 100% easier. Any chance of getting added?
A murky day at The Idler with a sentinel shunter hauling a China Clay hood wagon.
The railway lines that surround The Idler of Tangier pub once formed a junction, but the southern spur was lifted in the mid-1950s. The primary industry now is the rapidly declining R.G. Steadman and Co. Pottery Works which takes delivery of china clay once a week. #BSMRGUK #TMRGUK
I definitely tried to stay in the TMRGUK lane, but I think adverts were getting to me as well as the encroachment of politics.
What’s the scale of Gauge 3? It’s cool that you can actually real materials though! Plenty of wagons can be made from a tree, right?
Cheers Jim. Sussing the place out, but feeling increasingly irritated with Twitter! I need to do a bit more ‘atmosphere building’ on The Idler, but a certain 7 month old seems to be demanding my attention all the time!
In true Idler fashion, late to the party. Really just sussing the place out, but I really am reaching the end of my tether with Twitter! Happy to see you here and I’ll look forward to your project developments. Gauge 3, though! The wagons will be larger than the Idler!
Can't believe there's no model railway / #TMRGUK / #BSMRGUK starter pack on here yet - unless I've missed it?
Well if I did, there's now two, as I've done one! go.bsky.app/6htXddd
Very much a first stab - who's missing? New people are coming over all the time, so recommendations please!
A class 128 stood next to a BRS delivery van.
The scene, a blank; the day, a dream;
The joy, a spectral wreath.
We’ve left the spot, it would seem,
Forever. Gone the summer’s breath.
