Another busy day, this time over in Barnet fitting one of our CNC machined board systems ready for the customer to fit his track work and scenics.
The system is in modular sections making it easy to remove of needed.

A few more layouts progressing this week. A small 009 layout and a large N gauge project on our bespoke board system. The 009 layout will be fully scenic with some lovely touch’s.

We are getting closer to releasing our first ever product! The packaging is nearly finished and we will be soon ready to unveil it to you all.
Can anyone guess what it is yet?

It’s not very often I get to do a little modelling for myself, but after several months of a bit here and there I have finally got the track laid on my Buxtonish 00 layout.
More to come on this when I get time to do a little more.

Patrick lane O gauge was collected yesterday and is now nestled in its new home.
Patrick lane started as my first venture into O gauge and a tribute to my late father in law and Lacey’s Dad Alan. Bruce and his team took the layout from me and then brought it back for a huge extension with a 9ft traverser. They have happily carried on the tribute to Alan and now Patrick lane is a huge 33ft long.
The layout is packed with detail and lots of operational interest. Patrick lane will have its first out at the New Milton show at the end of July.

Patrick Lane O gauge layout is nearing completion. The 9 foot traverser is now installed and powered. Dapol semaphore signals and Ground signals fitted.
Lots of little details to add before its collection next week. Mimic control panels and Prodigy system added for back and front operation.
It’s show debut will be at the end of July at the New Milton show.

I managed a few hours in the workshop today while Lacey is recovering at home. The superb traverser from Tim Horn are now fitted and track laying started. We hope to have Patrick Lane up and running on a few weeks ready for its show debut at the end of July.

Just a quick post to apologise for any emails, messages or comments that we haven’t replied to. This week has been a difficult with Lacey being in hospital since Tuesday recovering from an operation. Obviously our main attention is to keep the family going and kids fed while Lacey is out of action. We thank everyone for there patients during this time and we will get back to all the emails and messages once we are back up to full speed again.
Many thanks

Neil and Lacey

Happy 2nd Birthday to our number one employee Murphy. Love having this goof ball at the workshop greeting people and stealing my tools and shredding the recycling.

Part week working this week but still managed to fully wire one layout and add more details and 3D printed parts to Patrick Lane O gauge.
