  • Interests
    The Victorian GWR, late LNWR, and railways in general. African steam locomotives, early Asian railways. Currently scratchbuilding a 2 inch gauge freelance GWR style 4-4-0.
    O gauge Bassett Lowke
    O gauge live steam engines

    I’m also one of the youngest horologists (clockmakers) in the world, and that often carries over into my models which are typically in the style of the early live steam models made through the 1840s to the 1870s.

    Victoria Sponge cake and old technical books are also honorable mentions. Bread pudding also deserves a mention.

    Hi all,

     

    I’m brand new to this, so my apologies if I do something a bit stupid. After years of debating, I decided on modeling a fictional branch of the Liverpool & Manchester sometime around 1843. I also get to do this from the USA, which makes things a lot harder, my main reason for attempting to scratch build most things. So off I go, into the unknown . . .
