I wouldnt put anything else in. Ive got his motors going in my king and castle.

lovely work, I was very impressed with brinklow it dosent seem to be as photographed as much as hatton or leamington.

Pete,

Hope you’ve got some brick paint ‘cos it looks like you’ve some painting to do next time we come over.

Still a bit of the ‘fancy’ brickwork to do and the entrance doors

Of the twelve BR Standard designs, eight are represented in preservation. Of the remaining four, the following (listed numerically) are the subject of new build projects:

72010 www.72010-hengist.org

82045 www.82045.org.uk

84030 www.bluebell-railway.co.uk This is a large website. Probably the best option would be to key ‘84030′ into the search facility.

The only class missing is [...]

Richard – I thought I’d published these full size i.e 2400 x 1500, but this program defeats me. I followed some instructions which said clicking on the picture would enlarge them, it’s obvious it doesn’t , they came out at 150 x 150 – I need to take further instruction.

Yes please, I would love LOADS more….but please make it so we can enlarge them, as I know these pictures full screen are outstanding. I shouldn’t grumble really, as the fact that you are starting to post your pictures is a great start, everyone is in for a real treat.
Nice one Mr. Dave Douglas!!

Spotting days at Manchester Piccadilly in the early 1980’s.

If you would like some more just say.

If it hasn’t got a Ron Chaplin gear box in it….don’t buy it!!

Hi Chaps

Ive got hold of some new books recently and Ive come across some of the older GWR locos. I always knew about them but never really paid them much attention as my interest is in the BR period but there where some very gracefull designs. I came across this 7mm Kit of the great [...]

hi George,
string lines are cheaper.

Paul.

An introduction to our new Laser guided drill!

Sorry for the lack of updates, been entertaining parents and playing out on the baltic in an icebreaker/ferry, great fun!

Lasse and Bengt were happily showing off their latest innovation, laser guided drilling!

The problem was, how to drill holes in the right place in the new teak boards.  The [...]

Well done Pete.
I hope it continues to be a success and is not diluted or lost post May 2010.

Just keep plugging away,
son.

Hi Brian,
as suggested by Peter, the Fox set looks promising – I’d rather hoped to get everything on one sheet.

I’m actually after name plates rather than transfers. I’m sure I came across a couple of custom makers on the web, but can’t find them again!

Tonight I start re-doing the front. There could be language involved…..

Cheers
Richard

Fantastic news, Well done Pete. Its about time the government recognised the strategic importance of our railways and now they have. A big pat on the back to you.

If you can paint the yellow first over a white base, it will then cover in 1 or 2 coats. Mask and do the blue next. If it’s easier to do the blue first then mask that and paint the yellow area white first as a base for the yellow. As a rule you should [...]

This is a really superb announcement! We should champion our railway heritage and be proud for once of what we can do here in the UK! Railways and their engineering need to be recognised by everyone, not just us enthusiasts and maybe this will help do that in some small way!
Excellent work!

Well, what can one say! After three years campaigning to get this scheme operational, you have won the day. This would not have happened if it wasn’t for you, so you must be extremely proud Mr. W. Who knows…this could lead to a Knighthood!!! And in my opinion, very well deserved, and I mean that [...]

Today, Lord Mandelson, Secretary of State for Business Innovation and Skills, announced the creation of a National Skills Academy for Railway Engineering.   This initiative has been passionately championed by music and railway industry entrepreneur, Pete Waterman, who has worked tirelessly for the past three years to make this happen.   Pete said, “I couldn’t [...]
