Wouldn't be Christmas without a Rail Replacement Bus Service! Those guys in orange should really be working on putting a fence up between the pavement and the track!! #TMRGUK #AmptonCentral

This place is becoming more and more unusable each day. Too many ads, bots and politics. I only joined for the model railway community which seems to be migrating elsewhere. Find me on other sites for more regular updates. #TMRGUK

So who is it doing up to 50% off the CEP? Only place I've seen is TMC with 40% off RRP but not in stock #TMRGUK.

Overline House was precariously perched on the layout today to see how it looked and to measure how much wall I need to make for the gap between it and the footbridge. Really need to sort a backscene! #TMRGUK #AmptonCentral

An audible groan rises from Platform 3 as the Cardiff Central service approaches #AmptonCentral with a 150+153 combo instead of the usual 158. No A/C but at least the windows open #TMRGUK
