About Me

In the Works
We live in rural NE Scotland and although now retired operate a small business manufacturing live steam locomotives. We have done this for 30 years and have sold models all over the world. The models are well researched facsimilies of their prototypes. Our commercial products are to the scale of 16mm to the foot. A new project is a soon to be published book on the history of Military Trench Railways.
