Blue Plastic Tracks

Very interesting Dr Chris. Thanks for sharing the research.

 

You can do this one online, though in simplified form.

The picture is by John Austin, an Honorary President of The Guild of Railway Artists, and shows two trains at Highley Station on the Severn Valley Railway with a third, possibly an 0-6-0T, in the background.  On the left is LMS Ivatt Class 2 'Mickey Mouse' No.46443, heading a short freight train; alongside is BR 'Standard' class 4MT No.75069, with 'blood and custard' passenger stock.

Wow, how old is that station?

The station was opened on the 1st of February 1862, the same day that Battle Hymn of the Republic was published for the first time.

Wow, amazing that buildings that old can still stand and be used. Wouldn't a replica model in Plarail scale be cool. Thanks Dr Chris
