Adam - if interest in O gauge tails off, then after forty years I'm still waiting for it to happen!

A slight misreading of Adam's comment?
His implication, and often borne out by my experience with some club types, is the chief interest is in the motive power, and scant interest in what it's pulling.
Tongue firmly in cheek Peter! O does have a certain reputation for interest tailing off behind the loco draw hook and like all stereotypes there may be a grain of truth in it but the steel medfit looks good and a close up is deserved. Much more my kind of thing!

... As we've said, it's a broad church and I enjoy anything of quality - and anything of less than good quality if it's part of the learning process.
Having said which, apologies for misreading your comment, Adam.

I keep trying to get him to post some of his work on here, as for a permanent way, carriage and wagon man, he's not a bad builder. Can't trust him with any propper stuff though.
Perhaps a small bribe is in order ....... and never mind the 'proper stuff'.
