Model railway locomotive and rolling stock construction in gauges 4mm / 00 and 3.5mm /. HO, plus 7mm, 1/4 inch and 1/45 scale Gauge O. Work also undertaken in Gauge 1 10mm and 3/8 inch scales. Special expertise in the narrower gauges and in outside frame prototypes.


Some of my models have been featured in the UK modelling press. I am in the process of going back through my files and pulling out a selection of articles which I think may be of interest, and will set them onto this page as .pdf file scans.
