Welcome to my embryo web site, I am learning to build this myself so please excuse me if it doesn’t work properly yet.

I am slowly adding more information as time, and expertise, allows.

   I mainly supply laser cut components, ‘kits & bits’, for  wagons  in 1 gauge,  2 ½”,  3 ½”, 5” and 7 ¼” gauges and perhaps soon 0 and 10 ¼” gauges. These are only in standard gauge so far but narrow gauge models are being developed. However once I have drawn a part in one scale it can be converted easily to any other scale. Also it is fairly easy to modify my standard wagon parts to suite the minor differences between different prototypes. Please ask.

My own modelling is in 7 ¼” gauge, hence the picture below taken at Stockholes Farm Miniature Railway in North Lincolnshire, England.  Many of the wagons shown are mine or are based on my ‘easy build’ chassis design.

For more information, until more of this site is developed, contact me by any of the following methods.

I usually attend several exhibitions during the year, mainly Alexandra Palace, Harrogate and the Midlands, assisting my colleague Malcolm High on his Model Engineers Laser stand.  Many of my ‘kits& bits’ can be seen and  purchased there.

This is a  one man part time business so please allow time for emails to be read, orders processed, new models and drawings to be produced as well as helping run the home, and currently refurbish it, and walk the dog,  that’s usually around lunch time, see below. I have to get my priorities right.

I prefer to be contacted by email if possible but if you want to telephone the best time to contact me is between 9.30 and 12.30 then 2.30 till 5.30, Monday to Thursday and 9.30 to 12.30 Friday.

KITS AND BITS TO BUILD MINIATURE RAILWAY WAGONS IN ALL SCALES FROM 1 GAUGE TO 7 ¼” GAUGE.

NEWS UPDATE

The next exhibition will be Harrogate, 11,12 & 13th May. Anyone requiring Kits or Bits to be collected at the show, please order by Wednesday 26th April.

As usual you can find me on the Model Engineers Laser stand.

CURRENT NEWS

I have added a new page ‘Specials’ for Bespoke kits or bits.

I have updated the ‘Bits’ price list and added some laser cut wagon parts in 5” gauge, 3 ½” coming very soon. The price of white metal has increased significantly, some of the laser cut parts have increased a little.

I hope to be able to supply wheels, axleboxes and buffers for most scales in the very near future.

I am now able to offer LNER Gresley coach bogies, initially in 2 ½”, Gauge 3, but other gauges as well quite soon, if there is interest.

Unusually there was considerable interest in 3 ½” gauge wagons at the several of last years exhibitions. I do not know of any dedicated society or web site for this gauge. I am now offering some of my spare web space for any interested modellers to promote their scale. Please send me an email with any suggestions or just register interest. The URL will be www.threeandahalfinchgaugerailways.com. I am pleased to say I have now uploaded it to the server, so it should now be available.

I know the pictures in the gallery have bits cut off the bottom I will up load new versions when time allows.
