Today, a wander around the world-wide-web. And there’s nothing better to start with than a Jago Hazzard (or three.) I’d love to make a model of the old Ludgate Hill. Some interesting South London history…. The London Routemaster is 70. … Continue reading

I think today it will be mainly buses. Let’s start with Victoria station in 1953, 1957 and 1984. And not very far away, Vauxhall Bridge Road in the 1970s. You might have found me in the picture walking from the … Continue reading

I haven’t done one of these for a while. These two American interurban scenes cry out to be modelled. And this if you had the room. Fremo modular layouts in HO can be enormous! This would be an interesting railway … Continue reading

A little selection, mainly from the internet, today….. A lovely bit of O gauge modelling…. What a superb electric locomotive. Totally ugly, but totally impressive! Looks like it’s been made out of a lot of left overs. I’d love a … Continue reading

I was going to visit a club open day this morning, but the weather was so nasty I just lost interest. I’ve got some Norfolk pictures from the Dawes Brothers to come, but today is mostly photos. I recently joined … Continue reading

Some interesting videos that amused me this week. Of course, one has to start with Jago Hazzard. Do you want to buy a station? Where to build London’s International station…. Pick any one from eleven? For the bus enthusiasts amongst … Continue reading

Low modelling mojo – still – but a couple of things caught my eye whilst wasting time on-line. Holloway Road in the 1950’s. Lots of period detail, including the lad wearing an ex-RAF flying jacket! A lovely shot of suburban … Continue reading

Just a few odds and ends for a wet Wednesday! An interesting station in South Wales, Amman. The GWR branch (left) terminates end to end with the MR branch (right). Some potential for a continuous layout with two sets of … Continue reading
