    14th Mar 2009Making an Exhibition of ourselves
    March 2009 saw Andy show his layout “Lydford Road” off at Carn Brea West of England exhibition for the first time. It’s a DCC layout based around the early 90’s in Dorset. 3rd rail may appear in the future.

    The plan is to have more layouts as time permits. People welcome to get involved..

    3rd Dec 2007New Layout - Mount Charles
    At last - we've moved in and attention can concentrate on my new layout! It's set in the garage this time 17ft x 9ft and will feature a terminus, extensive freight yard, loco depot and loads more. It may take time to construct, a new door is needed into the garage. But the fun starts here folks!
    1st May 2007New beginning 2007 / 2008
    Started the new job, here's some photos so far.

    Some mainline stuff from 2005 & a trip to France

    Various shots taken in Devon from 1980 to the present day.

    Some of the 1960 & 1970 images, colours slightly out unfortunately, but worth a look for the vintage traction.
    31st Mar 2005Cornish Signalboxes
    Pictures from the Signalboxes of Cornwall. I was a Signalman from 1989 to 1994 and had the priviledge of visiting boxes from the early early 80's with friends I had made.

    Bizarrely - I am qualified as a Signaller again from 2007 as part of my MOM duties. New photos included - digital this time so far improved.
    31st Mar 2005DMU Feature
    I have split some the Cornish gallery into mini sections. This is the DMU section.
    27th Feb 2005Cornish Cream
    Here is the Cornish Cream Gallery. It spans 1980 to the present day of life on Cornwall's railways predominantly in the 1980's. The class 50 and DMU pictures have been moved to a separate gallery within the site.

    Many people have left kind comments about this gallery, and the amazing range of locomotives that have made it into the Duchy spanning class 20s to the mighty Deltics.

    I have recently written some articles for magazines - The Hayle Wharves branch article is in the May 2007 Traction Magazine.
    22nd Feb 2005Layout photos - Elm Park & Hambrook
    Welcome to the layout gallery. By far the most popular one on the site. My friends and I aspire to join the heady ranks of the "Professional Guild" of Model makers. That musty old masonic like organisation that few are privileged to enter.

    Highlight of the year was the footage of me & my loft layout in BBC2's Home programme. Hope you had a chance to see it.

    This layout has now been dismantled and we have we returned to Cornwall to live. This gallery will always be here to remind us of it though. And a new layout will start soon. Hope you'll follow its progress with me!
    18th May 1994Bristol years
    have uploaded lots of locomotive shots taken in and around Bristol during our years living there. All scans of prints before the digi camera arrived in 2003
    27th Jan 1980Preserved Diesels
    A new gallery formed of images of preserved diesels around the UK.
    [ More collections | Calendar ]
    Welcome
    Hello there, Thanks for looking. I am hoping to upload as many Railway related aspects of my hobby to this site as I can, time and space permitting.

    Things have come full circle really, we have returned to Cornwall. But never fear another layout will appear already in the design stage! It's great to be home - the 50s & 47s may have gone, but there you are.

    Look out in Traction mag for a series on Model railways in the blue era.

    They may have taken the boy out of Cornwall - But couldnt take Cornwall out of the boy!

    The NEW layout is coming along nicely- check out the new gallery.
