My Model Railway - Atkinston
Hi, I'm new here, and am inspired to base my model railway on the fantastic LNER. Shots of my model railway are here http://michaels-railway-photos.fotopic.net/. I am still a British Railways fan, but I am really starting to love the LNER. Flying Scotsman has always been my favourite locomotive, and it has really made me want to have the LNER more represented on my layout. I am deffinitly going to get Hornby's new Mallard, possibly Great Northern and a V2. I will still have BR steam represented, just not as much Any suggestions?
Any suggestions?124...125...Then we did it, 126 miles per hour!

Welcome the forums Michael!
The LNER tends to be more famous for the larger engines such as the Pacifics.
With the smaller curves that your layout has, I think the smaller engines might look better. I'm not sure exactly what is available from Hornby for LNER, but some options are the N2 0-6-2T (suburban services out of London, etc); the J83 (A Scottish 0-6-0), and I think Bachmann do a V1/V3 (2-6-2T - branchline and suburban types of work).
