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 raillways; or special events including Christmas.

Cardigan Mercantile 900
This year marks the 900th Anniversary of the town of Cardigan, and to commemorate this event I am repeating the wagon I released in 2002, but bearing the number 900. Thanks to the sterling effort of the Dapol factory, this has been delivered in time for the Model Railway Show in Aberaeron on Sunday 8th August.

Teifi Valley Cattle wagons
Prior to the beginning of the main holiday season comes this pair of cattle wagons for the Teifi Valley Railway's shop. The original railway route from Newcastle Emlyn up to Pencader and then on via the GWR network, saw much traffic in sheep and cattle to get these animals to markets in England. These two cattle wagons have been released to recognise this. In addition the narrow-gauge tourist attraction is hoping this year to raise enough money to purchase a new playground attraction in the children's play area - and to refresh the existing equipment. Of the latter, the rocking horse, in particular, needs quite a lot of work to be done on it. Curiously, you don't see too many of these around these days. The sale of these cattle wagons will help in this appeal. Any extra donations would be most welcome.10th May 2010
Edward Sutcliffe of Mirfield
In plenty of time for the first model railway show held to raise funds for the church choir in this Yorkshire town, south of Leeds, came these 00 and N versions of the Edward Sutcliffe wagon. Mr Sutcliffe was a maltster in the town. The model is listed in the relevant 00 or N-gauge sections of my shop pages.
Project 120 - completed
This is a project that I have now completed. See the page on this web site by clicking here The wagon is now to be used to carry coal for the 1894-built locomotive "Alan George" (see above) until there is a more pressing need to convey gravel down the line.
I am already having other wagons line up for me to do! (So I must be doing something right!)
Questions?
