Truro (c-eniconˈtrʊəroʊ; ) is a city and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, and is the centre for administration, leisure and retail in Cornwall, with a population of 17,431. Truro urban statistical area, which includes parts of surrounding parishes, has a population of 20,920. It is the only city in the county, and the most southerly city in Great Britain. People from Truro are known as Truronians.

Truro initially grew as an important centre of trade from its port, and then as a stannary town for the mining industry. The city is well-known for its cathedral (completed in 1910), cobbled streets, open spaces and Georgian architecture, and places of interest include the Royal Cornwall Museum, the Hall for Cornwall, Cornwall's Courts of Justice and Cornwall Council.

A showcase of some the Lego trains I have designed and built, running in the garden. Featuring my steam loco's, diesels and other rolling stock. The track was temporarily layed round the lawn on strips of roofing felt. As you can see, the ground is fairly uneven, although I did raise some sections off the ground to reduce gradients. Locos are: West Country Class 'Blackmore Vale' LMS 'Black 5' GWR 'City of Truro' Peppercorn A1 'Tornado' EWS Class 60 'Emerald Night' 'Santa Fe Super Chief' 'BNSF'

Just another quick animation test, this time with the famous engine which is: City Of Truro This animation test was really easy to make, as CoT's side-rods are really simple to animate, the frames were really easy to make as well, I really like how smooth the animation is in this video, if I was really trying to out-do myself, I would have animated the wheels going round as well ;) City Of Truro Sprite and Rails made by 01Salty Animation and frames made by Hank
