Lovely view brings lots of questions, particularly the superb grass effect by the roadside. Looks like static grass but am I correct?

No, I'm sure I could see it moving

yes, I used the Noch static grass applicator, really satisfactory; working inside, I can't afford a "real lawn" ...

ciao, a little upgrade again...
Nice to see a trolley pole taking the diverging route, many coo out from it but with a little time and experiment they can be done.
Could be that the vid has been created as ‘not public’. Asking the user generally sorts it, I have been guilty of that misdemena myself!
Went to Brim and Wolvs to travel on the new bits at Wolvs and from New Street (Grand Central) to Edgbaston Village.
Wolverhampton Station.
Edgbaston Village.
Spoons on Briad Street
plus a couple of pictures showing the new extension going to Dudley.
I have posted a pic of the Digbeth Branch link but never got round to further investigation yesterday, a cold day!

This pic is copied across from David's Pic of the Day for 8.3.2025, as it may be of interest to tram fans. The photo was taken 6.3.2010, not G scale, but worth a look. It's a 4mm scale tram layout set in a delightful Portuguese townscape. Unfortunately I do not recall the name of the layout.

If any of you are in, or within range of, London this coming weekend, I can confirm that there will be G Scale at the London Festival of Railway Modelling, being held at Alexandra Palace on 15th & 16th March . . . in the shape of the Whiteleaf Tramway.
This is the modular layout operated by the Buckinghamshire Garden Railway Society (affiliate member of the G Scale Society) and, this weekend, will use three of the "modules" from the selection available, together with connecting sections, to create a 53-foot long end-to-end tramway, complete with overrhead catenary.
While it will be operated using analogue control at Ally Pally (plus radio-controlled battery-powered trams), the layouts are capable of being run under digital control, with or without catenary, to offer a tramway, an electric railway or a steam/diesel railway, while its modular form allows a variety of configurations from 80-foot end-to-end (Ally Pally March 2023) down to a 17-foot by 9-foot U-shape (Wymondham, last weekend) or even a 7-foot high layout using a rack line (Ally Pally March 2024).
If you do come along, be sure to say hello. We are in the West Hall.
Future outings are in Southampton and Guildford, both in June. Details to follow
Best wishes

Ah, were you at Wymonham? and did I talk to you?

I was . . . and if I did talk to you, I didn't know it was you. One other forumite made himself known and we had a brief chat (though it's hard to have a "propert chat" when you are trying to keep thinks moving for the entertainment of the public).
Cheers

No, I didn't say who I was, 'cos I'm a bit of a nightmare - but I was chatting to somebody with an impressive beard.
