Hello. I finally joined this forum a few months ago because it seemed to be a place for people who actually built things, however it was not until yesterday that I posted anything (a query re Standard 2mt injectors).
I have been building model railways in various scales since the 1970s, but since retiring in 2016 after 44 years as an engineer in the Merchant Navy I have decided to concentrate on 7mm Finescale.
My main interests are in the railways of South East Scotland, with a particular interest in the Waverley Route. I also have interests in narrow gauge and industrial railways.
As people seem to like photos I thought I'd attach some of my recent builds.
EX NB/LNER D30 Scott Class 'Dumbiedykes'. This is scratchbuilt and includes a working crank axle and connecting rods to see if I could do it. Unfortunately you can't see anything when its running so I probably won't do it again.
EX NB/LNE J36. Built from the Connoisseur Kit. The model represents one of the class that worked on the Waverley Route and was fitted with a tender cab, a feature only fitted to some members of the cab and a detail not included in the kit.
Ex NB/LNE N15. Built from the 62C models kit.
Current projects are a LNE K2 (Gladiator Kit) and a BR Standard 2MT (DJH Kit).
