West Wales Wagon Works
My speciality is the production of limited-edition model railway wagons in both 00 and N scales. The wagons are manufactured by Dapol Ltd, of Chirk, Shropshire. Wagons are normally associated with shows that I am attending; my local preserved railways; or special events including Christmas
Prize Draw?
For every order placed using this web site during May, I will allocate a raffle ticket. I will get someone (probably from my bowls club) to pick a lucky winning ticket and the 'owner' will receive a wagon (for N or 00) or some other suitable prize. See the prize draw page for details. There's one ticket issued for each item purchased from using this web site.
Just like buses?!!
May 7: Just when I am waiting for my second O-gauge wagon to arrive, TWO turn up at the same time! Yes both the "Huntley & Palmers" of Reading AND the "Felinfoel Brewery" wagon have arrived. There are just 26 of each of them - all pristine. The Huntley & Palmers wagon is seen above on Nigel Adams "Willowbrook Marsh" layout. Nigel allowed me to take the photo at the Loddon Vale Show in Arborfield on May 11, 2013. Click on the relevant name to go to the shop page.
May 4: "So there I was, outside the works, when the usual 45xx tank loco pulls in and deposits this right royal mix of Deiniolen wagons. They'd come in from Gloucester and needed some fine tuning and numbering before heading off up to North Wales via Aberystwyth, Dovey Junction and Porthmadog to get to the Llanberis branch. I managed to get this shot of some of them before the workforce arrived to clean up the dirty ones!
Apparently there are 110 of them, but 30 are dirty, so they'll need seeing too before they head off!"

April 16: Melksham TrainWest Show a great success.
The model railway show in Melksham, Wiltshire was a great success with over 2300 visitors. A lot of the Avon India Rubber Co wagons were sold, including all the weathered versions. I am finding that railway modellers prefer the weathered versions, so intend to increase the number I get done.
The next show I will be attending is at Porthmadog in North Wales - right near to the Ffestiniog Harbour station. This will be on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 May. Hopefully the "Deiniolen Co-operative Society" wagon will be on sale at this event. The weekend afterwards is the Loddon Vale show in Arborfield, Berkshire when my second O-gauge wagon, "Huntley & Palmers" will be launched.
Credit where due, but Claire, Sam and the crew at Dapol have, in a short space of time, produced this fine wagon for the Trainwest Show in Melksham. Now available from my shop pages.
Click here to go to the section of my shop. 84 pristine and 24 weathered models have been produced.
Dapol "Westerns" arrive
The first of the new 00-gauge Class 52 Westerns have started to arrive - with D1038 "Western Sovereign" being the first one released by Dapol. See my shop pages for details. Also due imminently are the second batch of Class 22 diesels in 00-gauge and the first of these in N gauge. All these are shown on my shop pages.

------------------
I will be releasing wagons primarily for shows that I will be attending. As a result some earlier planned wagon releases have been put back - and possibly dropped permanently. See my shop pages for "Planned Releases" for current definite plans!
