Stand 23 - David Buckingham, Weston super Mare.
A display of various Large Scale (G) narrow gauge locos and stock with a mainly US logging and small railroad theme. None of the locos look out of the box new and most have been changed considerably and weathered. Also on display will be various railcars often converted from normal road cars, which were used in sparsely populated areas in the US to save costs.

Alan Hunt - Building Rolling Stock in 4 mm and 7 mm Scales
Alan Hunt -
Having trouble with a kit? Want to try scratch building?
Alan Hunt will be demonstrating rolling stock construction techniques in both 7mm and 4mm scales, covering the use of plastic, white metal, etched brass and resin materials. This will include a display of completed and part completed models to illustrate the various aspects. Hopefully both beginner and experienced modellers will find points of interest.

Derek models architecture as a means of producing drawings for sale on his website. This approach safeguards any copyright arising from photographing other peoples' property. He works in a remote village in Cornwall and models English and overseas buildings following the principles of Roye England, the founder of Pendon Museum. The work is time consuming, but the results are very satisfying. Why not visit his website.
Jeremy Denis
Jeremy has been building in 4mm for about 25 years and it all began when he was unable to get either a ready-to-run model or kit of a certain GW wagon. So, with the help of model shop owner (Max Williams), he bought a book of wagons plans and some white metal parts and proceeded to construct a model of the wagon. He was bitten and decided to replace all his rolling stock. Jeremy uses an extensive and still growing library of books to ensure that the models are as accurate as possible. All are made from 0.5mm thick card with the walls of vans, wagons and coaches made double thickness to give strength and stability. Opening wagon side and end doors using his own design hinge system. Coaches are painted internally before assembly and fittings, battery boxes, vacuum gear; buffers and brake gear are of white metal. Bogies are also scratch-built with the springs being made of cartridge paper and axle boxes from white metal.
All vehicles are fully detailed inside with luggage racks, seats, arm rests, table lamps and sheets and blankets on the bunks in sleeping cars. Corridor connections are made from concertina 'd black paper and stay together on curves.
