All the photographs on this site are of models built from my own etched components and kits, unless credited otherwise. Some scratchbuilding is also involved in a few of the locomotives illustrated, and over the coming months I hope to bring you more stage-by-stage construction shots and tips that will illustrate the methods and techniques that I use in producing the type of models that you see here. Please come back often!
