MLW the hopper was pre weathered, all the models in the pic are Bachmann branchline, and are very well detailed models, they are some of the best detailed stuff available in the UK. The class 25 was made in the UK by British railways around the late 50's to early 60's and were powered by a Sulzer diesel, they were scrapped off in the late 1980's to early 1990's
MLW, thanks for you kind words. I have been finding ways to photograph the layout in order to make it look more expansive ( as opposed to expensive ) than it really is. Here is a shot taken from the extreme right of the first photo, along a span that crosses my operating pit diagonally.
