Welcome to the New Copley Hill Works!

 

 

 

 

I much enjoyed my time updating the old Copley Hill Works blog on the old RMweb (and for those interested, it can be found as a link in my signature for the time being), and in my time updating the blog, I had a stab at making quite a few locomotives. Some went well, some didn't quite make the grade, but nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed working on my projects and was delighted to share them with so many knowledgeable people willing to help me through.

 

The intention of this initial post is to provide a list of projects and links to their relevant blog posts. I have therefore taken it on myself to provide an archive of my original RMweb3 blog.

 

The final post in the Old Copley Hill Works can be found here.
