Build history/future plans (In reverse numerical order)


I have built a variety of full sided locomotives. I do not build scale locos, but I do build locomotives that can be driven all day and the driver will not have backache afterwards. The works number of a locomotive represents the order in which they were started by me, the date on the makers plate shows the date they were finished.

No 17 2022



My second venture into electric traction - over the pond they'd call this a speeder but it doesn't go very fast - a ride on Wickham trolley style loco for a friends garden railway 2hp plus 90ah under the bonnet.


No 16



Having built a medium (maroon) and large (green) loco, I felt it was time to build a small (blue) loco. I also quite fancied a crack at a tender engine, having only done tanks so far. Thus, the idea to build a George England inspired tinkerbell was born.


No 15 2021



A minimum gauge double fairlie, with a close resemblance to the loco designed specifically to go 'back to Blaenau'. To be really pedantic, not a double fairlie at all, a Meyer - but nobody likes pedants!!
No 14 2018



Another tinkerbell . . .
No 13 2014



A tinkerbell rolling chassis for a friend, ready for him to complete
No 12 2014



A tinkerbell for a friend - a project he started at the same time as my pair but never found the time to finish
No 11 2015



A minimum gauge single fairlie, with a family resemblance to the Ffestiniog Railway's Taliesin.

Nos 9&10 2010



A pair of diesel hydraulics, based on the O&K MD1


No 8 2009
Gnat - A 4HP diesel hydraulic
No 7 202?

Invicta - a large pacific, currently in the design phase. To be built for the SNBR as a company locomotive. Just over 14' long.
Nos 5/6 2012



A pair of tinkerbells. The second one has now left for her new home.
