About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

Heljan Class 07


It all looks a bit clean.
So, i have set about the task, to weather it a bit.
I have even managed to fit a "Sprat & Winkle" coupling Although this took a bit of hacking up under the chassis area.
Warranty invalidated.
It has also been fitted with a 6 pin chip and is now ready for action on Parkstone.
Our next exhibition with Parkstone goods is at Bridport on the 28th July 2018
Bridport Model Railway Exhibition
Be aware that if you are going to fit sound to one of these, the only place that there is room for a speaker is in the cab. Both bonnets contain a big chunk of metal.
