I had no intention of having a go at building a double-ended Fairlie. That was until at the Warley Exhibition when Alan Regan sold me a copy of the rather splendid Society journal featuring the Festiniog Railway. Continue reading

Sunday 6th September saw my annual pilgrimage to Guildex at Telford. In other years I have come away a little underwhelmed but this year was different. There were some fabulous layouts and some new innovations to look at. It was the usual collection of traders but one really stood out for me.
