Locoyard becomes a Southern Railway Depot

A quick catch-up tonight from Locoyard to show that it has, as promised, gone back in time to the 1930 – 1940’s.  A bit of an unlikely mix of liveries to be fair, with a combination of Maunsell’s olive-green and Bulleid’s malachite green with sunshine lettering.  The malachite green in particular has brightened the layout and indeed the room quite significantly compared to the black’s and Brunswick green of the BR era. 

Also, for those who follow via email or by web page bookmark or missed yesterday’s tweet- there is a new Locoyard webpage showing layout events for you to enjoy. 

Expect more blog updates over the weekend, including some GWR and international material – stay tuned to see more!
