It’s something that I had been looking at for some time as when it comes to backscenes, it’s either a nice photographic one or a backscene that has simply been painted blue! When I built Thornley V2, the backscene came to life with a huge length of warehouses that were about 9mm and it gave […]
Steady progress is being made with our next kit, the OO gauge Severn Tunnel single road servicing shed. Although the building still exists today, it is no longer attached to the rail network and at present unsure if it’s in Network Rail’s ownership. The locomotive shed was built in 1967 forming of a single road […]
With the start of a new OO gauge diesel depot kit which will be based upon the old Severn Tunnel Diesel Depot, I have decided that this kit will include an inspection pit, especially as the depot actually had one, so it kind of makes sense even though I’ve never designed one before. So, over […]
Our Gresty Service Shed has proved to be a very popular kit, especially in OO gauge and I lost count of the number of these ordered over the past month or two, so a big thank you to those that purchased this kit.I also did the kit in ‘O’ gauge and the size was huge……nearly […]

There has been no work done on Project Zero (my O gauge Blyth Cambois layout) unfortunately due to being too busy with kit designing and cutting but this last weekend just gone, I got all my images I have of Blyth depot and made the decision to get on a do something at least. So, […]
A while back, Mark Chivers, assistant editor of the Hornby Magazine approached us to see if we would like one of our kits featured in the magazine…..yes please! So, I chose the OO gauge Wagon Repair Shed, simply because it was also available in O gauge and that I felt that this was a great […]
After a number of people have contacted us asking if we were ever going to do N gauge laser cut kits, the answer had been……maybe some point in the future. Well, the news is that we have started our first N gauge kit in design and it will be taken from the OO gauge 2 […]
I think it was just before lockdown that I looked at doing some O gauge railings in readiness for my layout and also to sell on. A bit of homework on some depot photographs and lineside equipment, I manged to find a railing supplier who had some great images, so started to design away. Eventually, […]
