Liam Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Today was the first time I popped in to Footplate for at least six years! Because I was visiting during the layover time at Kidderminster it was just a whistle-stop visit, but Derek was very friendly, and now I am reconnected to Footplate after all these years!

Guest Midland Mole @ Footplate Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Thought this might be of interest to people on here, a stunning scratchbuilt OO gauge model of Kidderminster Town station on the SVR. This was built for a customer but we can get one built for anyone who wanted it for £750. We can get any building you want built from scratch provided you can supply us with prototype photos. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Wow Alex, what an amazing model! I can just imagine myself 76 times smaller and sat outside the Valley suite. But £750, well, that's a tad out of my price range. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Phil Parker Posted September 29, 2017 Administrators Share Posted September 29, 2017 For the amount of work that has gone into that building, £750 seems very low. Remember that a chunk of that goes to the taxman, there are materials and overheads such as workspace and equipment to factor in too. By the time you get to the actual payment for time, it looks too cheap for the quality... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole @ Footplate Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 There's a lot of hours work gone into that build. From the commission to finished model took a month, not sure how many actual hours though. For the amount of work that has gone into that building, £750 seems very low.

By the time you get to the actual payment for time, it looks too cheap for the quality... Could not agree more! John is an absolute artist when it comes to buildings, and when you look at them in the flesh it just takes your breath away. I have shed made by him and will probably get him to make my station when it comes to it (albeit a smaller one than Kidderminster ). Alex 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Is 4mm real ale available in the 4mm King and Castle? You'd have a lot of trouble drinking it though, drinking it out of pint glasses 7mm in height! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Some very tempting items there Alex. The Thompsons look superb in the teak livery, as I saw the other week at Kidderminster. Out of interest, do you know when the car flats are supposed to be released and what the price of them is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know early next year, with prices between £35-45 (some come with vehicles). Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Midland Mole @ Footplate Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 A few photos Derek took at Warley of some of the most anticipated upcoming models from Bachmann, including the stunning first EPs of the fully working breakdown cranes. I also spent a little while talking to the chaps from Bachmann at the stand and was very impressed with what I saw and heard. Not pictured but absolutely exquisite in the flesh is the new OO9 range, the look and running qualities of which are astounding.
