Model Name:
(4mm EM) Ex-GW Castle class Loco – 5082 Swordfish
Description:
Mitchell kit 4mm, EM gauge. Lining and headboard by Fox transfers. Crew and lamps by Modelu and plates by 247 Developments. Loco paraphernalia with David Geen products.
I have aimed for a clean but in service look as befits one of Old Oak Common’s front-line locos rostered to a principle express.
Model Name:
(HOn3) D&RGW 271
Description:
271 was one of the last survivors of the C16 class. It’s modelled as the Durango Switcher in 1941. It’s in HO scale, 3 foot gauge so runs on accurate 10.5mm track, HOn3. It is made from a Precision Scale kit. These kits contained the same raw brass castings and etchings that would have been shipped to Korean manufacturers to be used to assemble brass models. Making the kit myself made sure I was able to modify it to accurately represent 271 in 1941. It’s all soldered, then airbrushed, decaled and weathered. It is fitted with DCC sound including a smokebox mounted speaker and LED head and backup lights.
Model Name:
(7mm FS) ex-SR U Class 2-6-0 locomotive.
Description:

SR mixed traffic workhorse for Okehampton project use.
Model Name:
(7mm FS) Southern “O2” class 0-4-4T No. 199
Description:
The O2 is an O gauge model built from a Connoisseur kit, but modified with compensated driving axles, and all wheel pickup using split axles. The front bogie is also compensated, but that was a feature of the kit. It is modelled as number 199 which served the west country in the late 40s, when Bulleid sunshine livery was used. The loco is fitted with DCC and sound, the speaker being mounted in the chassis.
Model Name:
(7mm FS) Ex-SECR class D 4-4-0 as in BR days
Description:
This is an ex SECR class D 4-4-0 loco built from a David Andrews kit, in 7mm finescale with Slaters wheels. It has all wheel pickup, Portescap motor and gearbox, DCC fitted, but not sound, weathered to in-service condition in around 1953. Hand lined loco, and transfers on tender. Some parts on tender and loco were obtained from the scrap box as the ones in the kit were not right. Crew by Modelu hand painted. Number 31737 is the engine which has been preserved in the national collection.
