As I have (just about) finished the tank wagon and 16 ton wagon I had a choice of starting an 08 shunter or the brake goods. Having decided on the 08 shunter I fell at the first hurdle. I folded up the inner frames and tried to solder laminate the strengthening pieces with the resistance...

Hi all Those who follow my new street thread will know I've been toying with a little side project, called Brettell Road (after a few name changes) I must admit I'm a bit out of practise with this track building stuff and this took a bit longer than I thought. Above is an overview of the...

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...

Some current stuff in the throes of being built... PO wagons in the process of being detailed up - more beckons here... Next! This ex SNCF 16 tonner awaits its tarpaulin rings..... Yes this is 4mm. Wibble!!! And finally.. Decrepit auld LMS/BR 3-Plankers in the paintshop...

Hi all, I would like to introduce my current long term plan to model Ranelagh Bridge in 7mm around 1960 give or take a few years. I havent made a start on Boards yet as Im still trying to find a suitable home for the layout. I do plan to build it so eventually it could be exhibited. The layout...

As requested, here is an inverted shot of the Fairburn. Below running plate level the kit is pretty dire. It was probably ok 20 years ago or so when it was introduced. So there are some massive changes to be performed. MOK Standard 4 Cylinders and motion bracket - all modified to suit a...

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...

Wencombe/Kingsbridge Regis As stated in my New Members thread my 00 gauge layout Wencombe is based on an imaginary line from Churston via a viaduct over the R. Dart to Kingsbridge with passing stations at Dartmouth and Wencombe, with a branch from Wencombe to Slapton (upgraded during WWII for...

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...
