Narrow Gauge Model Railways
As a child I always enjoyed making models, initally a three rail Marklin train set, that I am sure my dad bought for himself as much as me, and many Airfix kits. Then a family holiday to a little corner of North Wales occured and there I found the Ffestiniog Railway, again on reflection this was totally my Dad's plan. I purchased a white metal kit of the lococomotive Prince from the Porthmadoc Harbour Station shop. That is exactly where my love of narrow gauge modelling started.
As with many this hobby got put away and forgotten during my young adult years. Then a little later, and on a whim, I visited Expo Narrow Gauge which was an Aladdins Cave of treasures. that visit reignited my passion for modelling and especially narrow gauge railways.
Expo Narrow Gauge Competition - Loxley Barton Falls
My first exhibition layout was built for the following years competition at Expong, The Cubic Challenge, and I designed and built a industrial narrow gauge railway layout called Loxley Barton Falls. 
Withywindle Mill
Having Joined the Greenwich and District Narrow Gauge Society we had an internal competition to build a pizza style layout, to be shown at Expong. I built Withywindle Mill. 
Whitesands Quay
My third layout, and largest, is from the plans of the late master Dutch modeller Reinier Hendriksen of a small railway based in Cornwall – Whitesands Quay.
