With retirement rapidly approaching in 2020, and with a full order book now in place, I can no longer accept any new kit-building commissions.  However, new additions to these pages will still be posted as I slowly work through my order book, so please visit again, and keep up with all the interesting items which I have in store.  I also intend to keep the web site running after my retirement, for modellers to use as a reference source, because it not only illustrates what is out there in kit form, but also what can be achieved by the way of making more unusual models by modifying or substituting a kit's components.  This site is also a valuable reference source for liveries which were carried by the real locos etc, during various stages of their working lives.   

You will notice a difference in the style and quality of the pictures on this site.  This is because the early shots are all taken outdoors in natural light with a film camera, on plain board for the base and the background.  In the mid-noughties I bought my first digital SLR camera, which allowed me to pose customers' models on my layout - the digital camera's internal electronic wizardry automatically compensating for the odd colour of fluorescent lighting, which in film days, without filters, would have given the photos a weird colour cast.

You will notice that I have titled the pages as BR (steam and diesel), and the Big Four, post-Grouping companies - this was done for simplicity. However, you will also find, many pre-Grouping railway company models, which have been arranged under the banner of the appropriate Big Four company that absorbed the smaller ones in 1923.
