N15 30764 'Sir Gawain', still sporting an early BR crest, pulls away from Hewish Gates with a local freight in 1962.

This web site gives me the opportunity to share my thoughts and experiences of the hobby with those who have an interest in modelling British Railways Southern Region in the south and west of England.

We'll look inside this great hobby to discover why we do it, how we do it and the added pleasure gained from learning about real railway history as we endeavour to create their ambience in miniature. If you are not doing it yet my hope is that you'll be inspired to join in.

In 2008 I devised the 4P's of Railway Modelling. As you browse this site you should notice they are a recurring theme.
