Hey everyone, thought I would put some pictures of recent work. Enjoy!

Hello Everyone!

Just a quick post to introduce my business GLR Bespoke Services. Some of you on here may know me (Steve) as I used to work in Lord and Butler in Cardiff

I have been going for a year now, offering all aspects of the service side to model railwaying! From complete layout builds, to aspects such as wiring or scenics. I also dcc and sound fit locos, N to 5" gauge, respray, weather and light fit too. My signature items are diecast vehicles fitted with working lights, such as the Ambulance or fire engine and are entirely internally powered by battery.

Please have a look at my website HERE for videos, pictures and articles about my work and also items I have for sale.

Do come and see us at the Cardiff Small Model Railway Show in Pontcanna Fields in January or get in touch via the website

Yes the shop will be open on Monday Only ever closed for 2 reasons, Sunday Morning hang over recovery or the Zombie Apocalypse. So far the latter hasnt happened! Otherwise Mon -Sat 10(ish, give or take 5 mins) to 5:30 and Sun 2-5PM.

On another note, Ranelagh Bridge is up and running, lights, sound etc. Just got a couple of vehicles to to light up and they will be on then it is back over to Adrian to finish off the front facia  

Hopefully I will be finishing off rewiring the layout for end of next week (now Peters back, I can concentrate on it). It's going to have a couple of sound logos purring around on it plus some road vehicles (lit of course!) and a panel everyone can play with to turn building and street lights on and off oh yes and a computer with rail master on to run the pointwork and that.

On another note, thanks again for all the praise!

Just thought I would keep you all updated (it's Steve from Lord and Butler btw!!). The website is up and running, around 700 items on there, only about 9000 to go!! I try and keep it as up to date as possible with news and that, plus the email newsletter for people who want it about latest releases etc. Oh and it is tied directly into our stock system so what it shows is what we have. Still a lot of work to do! be sure to come look at Ranelagh Bridge in the next week or so, our latest nighttime demo layout Thanks for all the support and kind words, see ya soon!
