Projects


Holden 4-wheeler to diagram T59


This section describes and illustrates a selection of relatively simple GWR modelling projects, as done by myself and others. Most are fairly easy and fun to do. A few are a bit more advanced, but still possible for the average modeller. Note however that these are subjective accounts, and not necessarily the only way to go about a given project!

Once you are done here, you may want to have a look at Allan Tidmarsh's GWR Model Works as well as Graeme's Pettit's SR/GWR site, both of which describe a number of other GWR projects.
