Your average Railway Enthusiast, Thomas Fan, Modeller & Mid Sodor fanatic. I aim for different takes with familiar faces. He/him. Rather Homosexual.

Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'. A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing!

In no uncertain terms, I can safely say my first year of being a 16mm modeller has been the most wonderful experience I have ever had. Gerry may be my first loco, but certainly won’t be my last. Maybe I’ll make a video about my first year in this hobby - to show you what the experience is like…

Tomorrow, the 21st of July, will mark one whole year since Gerry’s first run on Llechfan - when he was little more than a 3D Printed Shell on steel wheels and roller bearings - practically a ghost..! I think you can agree he looks very smart now, running with the Horse and Cart under his own power…

Today I returned from North Wales, and bade farewell to Little Engines 2026 - an event I absolutely loved from start to finish! The @talyllyn.co.uk is a railway with charm, character and heart. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you visit!

My first fully assembled kit! This is another railway-specific kit; WW&F Caboose 320. The original unit was drawn up in the old days of the railway, but never completed, so it's satisfying to know that the railway was able to continue the legacy!
