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
Ship models
Cooking & food in general
Vintage aircraft, particularly flying boats.
Stationary steam, full size and miniature.

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.

Well I decided to post something more interesting, aka the station. Or at least what was the station. I scratch built it out of card and wood two years ago I think, but the canopy brackets are from Alexander models. It’s a bit undersize, and made of the “wrong material”, it should be stone, as I haven’t seen another station on the L&MR that wasn’t stone. If anybody has any advice on a small L&MR station, similar to Crown St., that would be greatly appreciated. Oh and the second pic is where that station was, this used to be a gwr shunting layout hence why the building may look rather gwr.
