I'm sure many of you will have seen these pics in the ILTCO gallery, but
they
were new to me. I found them through a post on Bricklink, does anyone know
the
story behind them?

Jake McKee could give you the complete story on them but here is what I
know.  These models were built for a never produced LEGO Train Catalog.  At
some point they were given to NELUG who to the best of my knowledge, still
have them although I don't know if they are still assembled.

That sounds about right.  The small train shed model seen here:

<<http://www.iltco.org/albums/album09/DSC02207.thumb.jpg>>

was featured in a graphic on the LEGO trains website for a while, in the section
where it featured ideas on building your own trackside structures.  This website
seems to have been superseded by the LEGO Hobby Trains website.

By the way, it looks like there is a new section on the Trains site by James
Mathis about train building techniques, here:
