  • Location
    Cardiff...Not the California Cardiff...or the Cardiff in New South Wales both of which are probably a lot less flippin' damp.
  • Interests



    Lambsdown. A pre-WW1 corner of Kent where the storm clouds of war have yet to gather.

    Ewe. A Sheep, The Works Forecat and George, the mischievous apprentice in a bucolic East Anglian backwater.

    Sheep Dip, an small industrial something, somewhere or thereabouts, where rather charming little green engines can scamper about.

    Bleat Wharf. A bucolic corner of the dear old S&DJR in 4mm, modelled in a state of distress. { The railway, not me }

    Mutton, an odd corner of the splendid old L&SWR inhabited by some fine examples of Victorian engineering and blessed with unflincing eternal optimism.

    Sheep Lane, a small Ex-S&DJR goods yard on a shelf layout. My first layout, completed, exhibited and published. The start of it all.

    Throughout all of this, I continue to explore the possible modelling applications of Swedish furniture.

    The photography of Norman Lockhart and Ivor Peterborough documents the molluscesque progress of all matters.

    Bath Railway Enthusiasts And Sylvan Travel Society. {B.R.E.A.S.T.S}

    Refining the Horrocksford Shovel to the point of no return......

    Sheep and their involvement in the less well known corners of the S&DJR, the L&SWR and their role in all things railwaylike.

    Zen and the art of railway modelling.

    Fry ups.

    And if course we must not forget The Memsahib, Memsahib Minor and NHY 581 Jnr.

  1. Oh and while we're at it....... Relevant form required.......... SWAG2024 Bring and Buy Form-Extremly Very Final Form Rev3.docx I thank ewe once again....
  2. Which brings me nicely onto..... If visitors could bring a mug with them then it will help out the Crack Catering Team by reducing the periodic bouts of washing up throughout the day leaving them free for more important tasks such as cutting cake and warming pasties. I thank ewe.
  3. Morning all, In what appears to be our last ( but by no means least) layout featurette we come to Ruyton Road, now in the care of Paul Bannerman who has sympathetically recommissioned and refurbished this seminal cameo layout. It was built by the late John Spencer to EM gauge and appeared at a number of shows in the 1990’s and the early years of the new century. This layout also featured in MRJ, issues 75 ( 1994 ) and 170 ( 2006 ). Once in Paul's care, Ruyton was converted to P4 but the layout maintains the original premise, that of the terminus of an imaginary branch from the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway between Kinnerley Junction and Ruyton Town with a stub serving a nearby quarry. Always difficult to upgrade an old layout, Ruyton being some 30yrs old, but fair to say Paul has managed this quite successfully and at the same time, preserved John's original aim of giving exhibition visitors not only a flavour of a Colonel Stephens light railway line in the 1920’s but that of one of the first finescale Cameo layouts. Rob.

  5. Agreed, Paul. I'm toying with an NG7 version of Sheep Dip ............or using the NG7 shed etc for a rather down at heel standard gauge industrial light railway....or........... Rob
  6. It seems the only grumbling about this launch is the decision to stick with the 16.5 trackwork, commercially obvious and better to attract new modellers to the range and the use of a new name for the range. I rather like Bachmann's NG7 term. It's so straightforward. I've always found 0-16.5 a bit of a mouthful and therefore I do hope that the use of NG7 catches on. Rather looking forward to these and hoping for the Mainline Hunslet to follow on. Rob.
  7. Morning all, Eleven days to go.......Don't miss out ! Rob.
  8. Can't put my finger on it but there's something fishy about that.......
