Fully agree with all the previous comments - very realistic and every time I look I see something additional - only just noticed the window cleaner the other day ....... this is definitely one of the layouts that sets the standard for me

So delighted to see Metcalfe release this castle as I had in mind a castle / city gate type of effect at the end of my roadbridge before the road goes off the layout........ this will provide the ideal scenery cover, although I expect much adaption will be necessary........ one for 2021 I think, but...

I sometime lie awake at night dreaming about the hu...

Cheers - Richard

Nice photos - looking forward to seeing future photos of Henderson Halt, Mane Mall and Trent Alexander Arcade......
