Scott,

The pedestrian overpass is Hornby (it is actually cream colored)

Good show! Is that unitized double track custom-made? A good way to maintain the track spacing.

Where is this? And who are Ace Trains? Never heard of them and just Googled and only found references in this forum.

Ace,

Hornby started making double rails in 1928 and they were made in both clockwork and electric. I believe reproductions are also available.

Apple,

Ace trains can be found at http://www.acetrainslondon.com/

Thanks for the info. I'm not much of a tinplate guy but those are beautiful! I've thought about incorporating an Ayrshire Coast line on my layout. Does anyone make modern British Rail/National Rail/ScotRail passenger trains in O? Like class 100 or 300 1980s era to present?
