ORDERS FOR Fosse 17 - 21st Oct NOW BEING TAKEN

LATEST 26/7/08:- The prices shown on the web site will be subject to VAT as will the postage and packing. No more drawings please until after Midlands, busy building a Brit!

The Duchess tender is now ready for trials. Another long term project is a Gauge 1 Britannia many of the components will be from Rogers 9F. I want to get this on air before the Midlands. The 5 Inch Dee is also progressing, David is making a fine job of it. The high sided Brit / Evening Star tender is now being trialed and will be available in all gauges.

It is now the flying season so I will be having planes to repair, don't ask why it gets embarassing. Unfortunately this will reduce the time I have for drawing new parts.

The laser cutting service for Model Engineers by a Model Engineer at reasonable prices!

With over 3400 different parts having already been produced for fellow Model Engineers this is the place to be to get that model done fast! Click on the gauge you are interested in and see the models I have already done parts for. Click on the model name and see the parts I have done and an indication of price. The price may vary depending on how long ago I last provided those parts. For other information use the buttons down the side.

Frames, tender kits, cabs, stretchers etc.they are all there from 0 Gauge up to 10 1/4"

For the Traction Engine enthusiast hornplates, spokes, bunkers etc.

If you cannot see the part you are looking for contact us, see how to do this by clicking the "Contact Us" button at the side. All it takes is a drawing, preferably with dimensions on!! I am not into dimensionless analysis or doing someone's design work for them. Please, if you want me to cut a part at least provide the dimensions.

If I have the parts in stock then delivery will be within a few days. If the parts are on the database already it will probably be 2-3 weeks. If I have to draw them and it is complex, say a new tender body then it could be months. Please remember I am a "One man band" and still trying to complete a Holmside!

I will enclose an invoice with your parts. Postage and packing will be at cost and VAT must be added for all UK and EC customers. I would appreciate a cheque by return. For those not in the UK the cheapest way is for you to send me a cheque in your currency. We will agree an exchange rate plus £5 charge from my bank for cashing it. This is the cheapest method. I do not take credit cards at the moment it is too expensive (4% on each transaction).

Look at the kits I now do. These are very fast build, a 5" Stanier tender body in a weekend? It's possible! The parts are tabbed and slotted so you cannot get it wrong. Most go together with soft solder, the chassis frames and the stretchers need to be silver soldered. There are cab kits, motion brackets, bogies and lots more. For a fast and accurate build this is the way to go. Many are from works drawings or rescaled from other drawings so tend to be more accurate representations than the original drawings, not that difficult in some cases! Someone in your club may well have made one, ask around.

I shall be at the following venues:- Bristol 15th to 17th August, Midlands 17th to 21st October. I hope to attend Bedford meeting 5th to 7th September.

I am also giving a number of talks on laser cutting to various societies around the country in addition to my articles in Engineering in Miniature. If your society would like a talk get in touch, I only ask for some diesel money. Talks arranged Bedford 6th September, Stockport 19th September (this is the new talk), Leicester 29th September, Wolverhampton 3rd October, Fosse 17th to 21st October, Norwich 12th November, Oxford 3rd March , Welling 5th March and Canvey 6th March 2009. I hope to see some of you at the talks.

Many thanks.
