Karl has confirmed he used Slaters for the embossed brickwork, and website amended to include this.

All the best for 2025.

Hi Adam and Kier, many thanks for the information.

I rather enjoyed the link to the cab ride around the futuristic Hornsey Broadway ... 11 mins well spent

Always interesting, delightful, and top class. It's modelling of the highest order that makes the monthly updates eagerly anticipated. I just wish it could be more frequent.

Back in the mid-noughties when returning to railway modeling, I converted a Bachmann 108 dmu to P4 using the advice in the site, but I can no longer find the pages. Do they still exist please.

Very nice, I look forward to 2025's inspirational installments.
Cheers Julian

The page you're referring to was deleted many years ago due to a couple of reasons - firstly the images were of such poor quality, and secondly our recent conversions utilise the existing manufacturer's wheels with reprofiled flanges. However, I have managed to locate the images (which may be of use to others who wish to replace the wheels and electrical pick-ups). Images uploaded to the following page.

I forgot to mention the link to the Danish Railway photos, very nice, but then I have a soft spot for that little country!! Yes another distraction!!
Thank you
