I came across this unlikely scheme while doing some cross referencing in the day job, working for the Victoria History of the Counties of England (known to most as the 'VCH'). Now the idea of that outfit is to produce a parish by parish history of England from the beginning of human habitation...

See how my first thread goes... My personal layout project is based in North Lincolnshire in the early 1990s, 1992 to be exact. It based on the North Lindsey Light Railway (a little known branch which ran north from Scunthorpe towards the River Humber) and I've amended history just a tad; this...

Since this is a genuinely GW piece of kit it seems sensible to start a thread in the appropriate forum. :) This started as a ‘simple’ re-gauging and detailing project retaining the original chassis. A quick – and far from comprehensive – tally of the work done, however, suggests that I may have...

Chaps, about time that I started my own thread showing what I am working on. So here goes: This is a David Andrews 52XX kit that I got in NS before that option went away (can't stand brass!). It will be finished with finescale frame spacing, S7 wheels and axles with shim washers to...

Hi all, just came across these photos that I took on a visit to the SVR last year which might be of use to some of you GWR folk [attachment=7:34r9tok7]DSCF3309.JPG[/attachment:34r9tok7] [attachment=6:34r9tok7]DSCF3310.JPG[/attachment:34r9tok7]...

Just a few piccies of a couple of loco's I am working on at the moment. [attachment=6:2yuvh7c3]63xx cab 001.JPG[/attachment:2yuvh7c3] [attachment=5:2yuvh7c3]63xx cab 002.JPG[/attachment:2yuvh7c3] [attachment=4:2yuvh7c3]63xx cab 003.JPG[/attachment:2yuvh7c3] [attachment=3:2yuvh7c3]coupling rods...
