I bought this during the build of the 13 ton wagon and David assured me it would be much quicker and easier to complete. I didn't find the last one particularly difficult as everything is so accurately etched. The instructions follow a very similar sequence and would be easy to fall into the...

The thread title will make sense when I explain this build is an Austerity 2-8-0, and the client's chosen loco ended its days at Aintree 27B. This commission build is of the JLTRT WD kit. It's a mixed media kit, with the usual mix of resin, etched and cast metal. Forgive me for not...

The layout has come about primarily due to a house move and is about eight years old. Prior to moving I was working in EM gauge and had about 90% completed my EM layout Barnard Park. Due to the house move it was sold and has now joined the exhibition circuit with its current owners, renamed as...

As requested, here's some info about my small O scale layout "Withyn Reach". First written in February 2008:- Thinking ahead to next year, and due to the inconvienient fact that British O scale stock with buffers & 3-link couplings can't cope with 2foot radius curves (but small US locos &...

Here some pictures of my BR Mk1 coaches.. They started life as ordinary Lima Mk1s but I gone a bit mad on them. Rather than cutting them in two I cut the sides off and build the whole thing back together with Plastruct... The roofs, windows, bogies and some other detailing parts are from...
