Projects

This is my little model railway, a 00-gauge layout just four feet by two. It has some pretty vicious tight curves, but with fully electrified points and plenty of decoupling sites it's great fun for shunting with a small loco. My main aim was just to get some practice in making cardboard buildings and landscaping. It was all great fun, but now I struggle to find the space for even this small layout. The lovely maroon loco has now been drabbed down into BR black, just to keep the pedants happy!

The Dapol/Airfix 'Pug' is a static model, but adds character

The Coal Staithe and Signal Box are both scratch built

Stub Mandrel's van, parked up in the small light industrial yard.

The Airfix/Dapol kit of the 15T Booth Rodley crane is only correct for the prototype, but it makes a lovely model.

The Water Tower is a very simple structure, but was a rewarding build.

Finally, a small workshop building.
