One for myself, for a change. The Branchlines kit of the Colonel Stephens Ford railbus. This is for my Shropshire & montgomeryshire layout seen here on her first trip.

First, no idea why the post appears three times.

However. This will explain Col Fred Stephans and his railways.

Another vehicle for the S & M line. This is a Connoisseur kit and a very nice kit is is. I have the open saloon car to go with it under the WB.

There is now a new station building as well. This is scratch built using Slater's embossed stone and Duncan Models window frames and doors.

Another Col Stevens loco in service on the layout. This is the Angenoria kit SELSEY.

Also just completed is the crane loco (Gladiator Models kit) and brake van which are being used on my layout to off load the barges on the canal. (The brake van is also the engineering van.)

Part of the rake of coaches recently finished.

The canal has just been finished too.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I have a three loco kits and some wagons under the bench ready to build. (When I get time between clients needs).

There is a bit of work involved in turning the clock back from 1950's to 1930's for the line. It basically involves repaints only, having sold most of the BR period locos. But getting there slowly.

I have a couple of 1950's diesels I will keep to run with GWR & LMS locos as a change now & then.

Another loco finished to work the S & M. (This loco never did work the prototype but looks very much the part.

She is a Gladiator kit. All that is needed now is weathering and a loco crew.

I used Slater's wheels and a Mashima motor with 40;1 gears. Just right for a goods loco on a slow train.
