In the theme of the popular ‘what’s your latest acquisition’ thread, I thought I’d do one where we can share highlights of our latest running sessions, which probably aren’t significant enough to justify their own thread but cumulatively interesting enough to warrant an ongoing thread, especially as we come into the winter modelling season. It’s also a great way for people to introduce their layouts, without necessarily starting their own thread.

I’ve fairly recently changed the stock on my layout from steam/BR Green diesels over to 1980’s/1990’s era. This gives me the option to run a mix of my favourite locomotive-hauled services, or units too for variety and flexibility:
So I’ve currently got a:
- BR Large Loco Class 37 on the tourist train. The 37 also does freight work and regular passenger work.
- BR Scotrail 156’s operating the normal passenger service
- A class 20 that does some freight work, shunting, test train, departmental work, nuclear flasks (rule 1) and occasional passenger work.
- A portion working of the Highland Sleeper with a BR Intercity class 37/4 on the front.
With a bit more rule 1, the following run:
- A once daily HST service to London Kings Cross
- A once daily class 47 hauled Intercity cross country service on Mk2 stock.
- Various DMU’s including a WYPTE 158 as that’s one of my favourite livery’s. At this point rule 1 has well and truly taken over and the layout is more of a busy terminus than a remote branchline…
So, what are you currently running?
