    Periods of interest are...

    Early Railways 1846 - 1865
    U.S. Railroads 1846 - 1861
    RCW Yard ca 1920

    Industrial Railway 1905 - 1925
    Horse/Steam Tramways circa 1900
    Majorca/Malta narrow gauge railways(Three distinct periods)

    Considering a 2' gauge industrial layout based on two 32" square boards with a variable length fiddle yard in between, but the costs of Loco's/Stock put me right off the idea.



    Looking into the possibilities of 'Viewpoint Layouts' as an alternative to the standard 'track on a plank'.

    Thanks to everyone for the information they provided. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of people who replied. The name of the person I was looking for is (I think), Roland Arzul. I recall seeing his carriage drawings and his contribution to the book on 'Railways of the Baie De Somme' ... though wether he's a railway modeller, I'm not sure. Once again, thanks for all your help.

    Can anyone recall the name of the French modeller who was a friend of Mike Sharman? The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to get details about the early (1850s-60s) double-decker/imperial's which ran on French railways.

    Thanks for the information Darryl. That's the layout I was looking for, though I didn't realize it appeared in RM over twenty years ago.

    Can anyone remember a layout that appeared in the Railway Modeller ten plus years ago. It was a 4mm NER set during WW1, and had snow for it's scenery.

    Saw this at the weekend. Still a great film. The Boer War armoured train ambush looked like it was filmed in Yorkshire. (KWVR perhaps). Mac

    Kat. Thanks for the interesting introduction to 3mm scale. It's certainly made me reconsider the benefits it offers. I've sent you a PMail re' some points I'd like to ask you. Mac.

    Reply to enquiry arrived Nov 5th. A4 page with colour images of 18 of Paul's models(as at July 2011). Price List (Sept 2011) for Complete/Body Only Loco's. These range from approx' £110/£80 respectively. The colour image is poorly reproduced but gives a fair idea of what's available. Fortunately I'd seen some of the models at Shows so can vouch for their quality. Mac.

    I don't want to contact electronically. That's why I've sent a letter to his address. Mac.

    Thanks Tom. Found details on the site you mentioned. Will contact him by mail. Mac.

    Re' Paul Windle Loco's. Does anyone know if his models are still for sale to the public? I managed to find this on the internet... but no contact information to request catalogue/commission work. Paul Windle specialises in ready-to-run 009 locomotives handbuilt on N gauge chassis. He has a catalogue of standard designs but will also undertake custom work on chassis supplied by the customer. Mac.

    Good point about the small ship operators...though from what I've seen from TV 'documentaries' the big floating hotels look like hell on earth. Mac.
