I took some photos at Bognor Regis model railway club recently. Although
I was there primarily to look at their in progress American layout,
there were also working on their 'children's' layout. One of their
members had bought a set of photo backdrops which had been taken in the
Sussex area.

I'd taken some of my old British outline models. We put everything
together, then took some photos. The results can be seen starting at
http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p62039774.html

For those interested in American railroading scroll backwards from the
above link to see the results of their progress to date.

Backdrop looks great but the overall effect is spoilt by the shiny, toy like
track.

This layout is very much in the construction phase. In fact they've only
been putting this together for a few months. It is intended as something
that the kids can play with so it will be running things like Thomas.

The DMU is mine. I'd taken it there so that anyone interested could look
at it with a view to buying it. Someone else had recently bought the
backdrop. They put that on the back of the layout. I put the train on it
and I then got the camera and tripod out. The results are what you've
seen.

I'll try to get more pics when they've made more progress.
