S scale 1:64 - its the perfect size and delightfully idiosyncratic! Cambrian, light railways, industrial, narrow gauge and American shortlines. Also 1:152 2mm Finescale and 2mmNG, and some overseas modelling in 1:160 N scale.

Robert Alexander Baron Schutzman von Schutzmandorff (Bob Symes to you and me) sadly died today. He was 90 (b. 6 May 1924). His Wikipedia entry is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Symes A characterful figure in both the railway and model railway world, he was definately a gentleman of the old school. R.I.P. Bob.
