Top - Hewish Gates. The approaching storm cloud and sheet rain is a fluke of layout lighting caused by a warped backscene.
Bottom: Unrebuilt Bulleid pacific Biggin Hill on freight duties approaches Hewish Gates from the west.
This web site (and my blogsite) 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.
There is more to see in my blog, which is frequently updated with modelling techniques, tips and general chit chat.
In 2008 I devised the 4Ps of Railway Modelling. As you browse this site you should notice they are a recurring theme.
