What a blast we had at the Awdry Extravaganza 5. A great event ran by all the volunteers and staff at the Talyllyn railway. #AwdryEx5

Honestly, you’re both as bad as eachother. #AwdryEx5

I’ve pre-ordered my T3 and I’ll have her re-numbered to match 557 seen here running through Dean station. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.

I had to buy one, great band and of course the main man himself.

The latest update to Chandlers Ford. The back scene is clamped in and a lot of tiny jobs have been completed.

Chandlers Ford as it stands. Still have lots to do and lots of wiring but she’s looking good in terms of scenics.

Monks Brook completed

I think I’d be that happy if I had a cake the larger than me.

I’ve been busy working on a RWS George load for the railway.

My WIP RWS George

We had a great day out today at the TUGS Exhibition. It was great seeing Top Hat and Zip (my favourite Characters) in person.

Alot of progress on Chandlers Ford. The first resin pour was successful for Monks brook, I just need to continue the prep work on the other side of the station before starting the next resin pour.

It’s not everyday you get to shovel coal and blowing the whistle on a T3. Can’t wait to get my hands on this model!

I’ve added tarp and tie downs to the Yeoman wagon. Only another 13 to go.

We have booked our accommodation ready for the 5th Awdry Extravaganza! 💪🏻 Looking forward to seeing what this years event has for us.

I’ve test fitted the back scene for Chandlers Ford and she fits perfectly. I’m over the moon with this as it’s a patchwork taken from many pictures. Now to continue with the Monks Brooke.

The back scene is coming along nicely. The gate and some chimneys are to be added and then I think we are pretty much done 💪🏻

The custom Rapido wagon arrived today and I’m over the moon with it. This wagon is to celebrate the family business of F.H Dean and son who had the coal siding at Chandlers Ford. I’m very happy with and a great addition to the Deans siding.

Christmas Eve with the Chandler’s Ford Phoenix.

I’ve been working with a local artist to get the back scene looking perfect for Chandlers Ford. This is the result after a couple of hours. Many more to go but I’m really impressed so far.

The back scene for Chandlers Ford has to be custom made. I’ve attempted to draw the back scene to give the artist an idea of what I need for station lane.
