Making Tracks for Christmas at Blakemere Village

Yesterday we had a very enjoyable day out at Cheshire Outdoors at Blakemere Village with Making Tracks 3. Our thanks to Pete Waterman, Chris Clenton, and the Railnuts team for allowing us to give our production models of 56019 and 56081 a run out on Milton Keynes, they looked right at home on the layout!
