I enjoy metalwork, attending a night school class. It is here that I am building up model engineering skills.
My chosen scale is 16mm = 1 foot on 32mm gauge track. Commonly known as SM32.
One day I will build a garden layout.
In the meantime I run stock on friends lines, or on a length of track plonked down on the patio.
I have three live steam locomotives in various stages of construction. Further details available by following the links on the left
Oban
Oban is a simple live steam locomotive based on Mamod components. This was my first attempt.
Though she runs, I doubt I will ever finish her because there are too many fundamental design faults.
Tintagel
Tintagel is a Mamod steam locomotive which I have modified,
including building a tender and adding radio control.
Cardhu.
Cardhu is the live steam locomotive I am currently building.
Designed loosely in the style of a 'De Winton'.
