    Here is Brian's wonderful rendition of the North British Hotel in its final position. The ramp is lying loose and has to be adjusted to a slightly shallower angle. Have a great Christmas everyone. Cheers David

    The making of plates continues! This is the latest work in progress. The smokebox number plate from 55053. This was the last Highland Railway built locomotive to run in service on BR and worked the Dornoch branch for many years. The good news is I have done a little bit of work on The layout too. I have started preparing the George Square baseboard to accept the buildings Brian made. Hopefully pictures soon. Cheers David

    I am afraid the making of repro plates has become something of an obsession supplanting real modelling on GQS. I will get back to the modelling soon! In the meantime i have fashioned this shed plate as worn by the last loco to work the Dornoch branch, 16XX pannier 1649. I plan to make the smokebox and cabside number plates too. The second picture is of some laser cut steel numbers I plan to use for the cabside plate. Cheers David

    What we have here is a water tank thermostat spanner, a couple of bits of plywood, the end of a broom handle (freshly cut from our broom!) and three components of what is sold as an industrial style shelving system. What could they possibly be used for?!

    That is a lovely piece of work. Really stunning. Cheers David

    I enjoyed making the works plates and decided to see what I could make with the leftover letters. I came up with this!

    Thanks for that. I painted them in exterior primer then exterior gloss. Then i sprayed satin varnish on the works plate to tone it down a bit.

    The first works plate all painted up and above it a representation of the casting in which the drawhook will sit.
