Next Show Harrogate 7th to 9th May.

I am also at the Gauge 1 Spring Meeting 27th March

Latest dates for Pre-orders:- Gauge 1 do 19th March, Harrogate 23rd April

Note we do not accept cards, it costs up to 4% of the transaction so is too expensive, bring a cheque book or good old fashioned cash if you are attending a show.

The Britannia is nearly ready for air, all the motion is on and looks really good. I do not have enough time to complete it at present. I have designed it in O, 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" gauge, well we are ready for another 3 /2" Brit design. All fast build of course and it should be a good puller.Gauge 1 LMS 8F now being serailised in Engineering in Miniature.

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

With over 5500 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 1-2 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", still trying to complete a Holmside and this is a retirement project!

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 (up to 4% on each transaction) but I am considering having to ask for monies up front as one fellow Model Engineer has not paid me for 12months now.

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:- Gauge 1 Spring Meeting 27th March, Harrogate 7th to 9th May, Bristol 20th to 22nd August and Midlands from 15th to 19th October. I am going to the Sweet Pea rally from 10th to 14th June. If any club local to Fareham wants a talk between those dates get in touch.

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 and Australian Model Engineer. If your society would like a talk get in touch, I only ask for some diesel money. Talks arranged 6th Feb York (talk 3), 8th Feb Melton Mowbray (talk 1), 15th Feb N Staffs (Talk 1) 4th March oxford (Talk 2), 5th March Canvey (Talk 3), 10th April Erewash (Talk 2), 14th April Hull (Talk 2), . Please note there are now 3 talks, all different and I am working on a fourth. I hope to see some of you at the talks.

Many thanks.
