    4mm BSC Orgreave Coking Plant

    Well, I figured I ought to make a first post here. I've been fairly active posting various micro-layout threads over on RMWeb for the past few years but the image issue has sort of made me jump ship. Back in September my partner and I moved to a new house on the Waverley estate on the...

    Signalling Polsarrett S&T

    Morning all. There's discussion on another thread about creation of a stand alone signalling thread. In the meantime it was suggested that signalling queries could go into the PW area. So... Polsarrett is my unashamedly not really prototypical foray into building a small cameo layout in 4mm...

    4mm Polsarrett: BR(S) N Cornwall Clay, The Final Countdown

    So... Work is 'fun' and I'm not finding quality time to work on Pencarrow. So... When I found some ply and some bog standard code 75 Peco when renovating the train room storage cupboards, I started thinking. Something small, chuckable in a car and quick to build. RTP and kit buildings - an...

    Trade Mousa Models

    I've just put up a new website, and the idea of this one is that it will only contain models that I can produce in a reasonable time. There is a redirect from the original site, but it may give a 404 if you are expecting a particular page.

    Craster

    Introducing “Craster” After withdrawing “Low Quay” from the cameo competition I reflected on what I had achieved, what I had failed to achieve and why, and what I had learned in the process. Participating had re-affirmed my interest in fine-scale railway modelling but also demonstrated the value...

    4mm Silver Sidelines

    I have been playing with model trains for ever. I started with Triang and Hornby Dublo, had a family break and returned to Airfix and Mainline. My current layout dates from around 2005 and is an attempt to recreate scenes from my train spotting days in short trousers. Some of you may...

    4mm GWR coach kits

    Should the Ratio 4-wheel GWR coaches be gloos or matt? I'm not exactly sure. I tend to think things look better matt or satin, but should the brown or cream (or both) technically be gloss? I don't know. Any help would be appreciated!!
