About Me

My Photo
I have been interested in British railways for as long as I can remember. Though I am a fan of the Western I do take an interest in the other regions. I never thought I would say this but I also have an interest in early diesels including the first generation DMU's !! My modelling has taken many twist and turns over the years,from the early Triang 00 of my youth to brief excursions into the world of 009,N,and 3mm scales. I then returned to 00 but in finescale and eventually to EM where I feel at home. I have now been modelling in EM gauge for almost 30 years and am a member of the EMGS. I am often asked why don't I model in P4, well to be honest there was not much trade support for P4 all those years ago when I started to take an interest in finescale modelling and I don't see the point in starting all over again at my age. I do however take my hat off to those modellers who continue to raise standards through their P4 modelling. Penhydd will be my last project and will be improved, extended in the same way as Peter Denny and Jas Millam have done with their layouts Buckingham GC and Yaxbury.

The Penhydd Album Vol.1

Following a recent photo shoot I thought I would share a few new images with you all.  So lets take a journey along the line starting from the station.

A view of the water tower, feedstore and cattle dock, it must be too hot for work today as not a soul can be seen.

An ex GWR Railcar is about to depart on a local passenger service.on a hazy summers day.

The Railcar gets underway, I like to take a mix of both colour and black and white photographs.


The fireman on 1455 passes the time of day with a local, no doubt the driver has nipped across to the signal box for a brew.

The pick up goods returning to Presteign

 The signal is off for the arrival of a late afternoon branch passenger, whilst a solitary 12t van and coal wagon stand in a deserted goods yard.

Even the coal yard is quiet and surely the branch cannot stay open much longer ?
