It is progressing quite nicely now, well I think so. I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to faithfully recreating a prototype, but I can appreciate the importance of certain elements, so the handbrake lever is now fitted.... 100_0593.JPG I had every intention of fitting the chain and pins to keep...

Thank you both for your kind comments, I was certainly inspired by the Porterhouse model and heard the call to scratch-build something similar. I must have seen the thread which Philip attached but had completely forgotten, however, I can see where I need to make slight modification to my model as ...

Looks good Peter. They are a fantastic wagon and joth of the Ffestiniogs are different. Yours looks like it's based on 846 because of the curved pivot support. We are biased in liking these as we have done one of these as well 🤣 2000_6364fd65d53d0.jpg 2000_6364fd634e567.jpg https://www.porterhousemo...

A wonderful collection and beautiful rolling stock. I'm curious to know where the Kerr Stuart Diesel kit is from? The Kerr Stuart is a PDF models kits with some extra detailing! I thought it looked familiar, and it turns out I'm already subscribed on YouTube! Great railway and (of course) great sto...

I appreciate it wouldn't be exactly prototypical, but if one of these ways available in 45mm gauge I would definitely add one to my fleet, very nice. David Hi David, We do the crane with 45mm bogies as well as 32mm. We are away until 29th June but if you drop us an email to sales@porterhousemodels....

Attached is a photo of rhe prototype. No sign of a toolbox or straps on the match truck. Dont think the cranes got used much! download.jpeg Best wishes Porterhouse models Still to come are the four pads which go under the screw jacks to stabilise the crane when in use. These are not supplied so are ...

I've recently celebrated another birthday, but today I feel as though I have had one more..... a special delivery this morning brought my 'Porterhouse L&B Crane' safely to my door. I stress 'safely' due to the immense care which went into the packaging.... 100_0165.JPG 100_0166.JPG 100_0167.JPG...

Christmas spare time taken up with completion of 'Spooner's Boat', which I think looks pretty good! I am awaiting a driver figure from David Clavey and need to find a way to fit a mast and sail, so it looks as though it is travelling under wind power.....

Hi Peter, Glad the models arrived safely (eventually!) and you are happy with them. Thankyou for the glowing write up about the models. We have seen your email about the post driving band for the Spooners boat and we are getting some spares packed to send to you. I have been reading through your thr...

I came across non polarised magnetic couplings on eBay and it looks to me as if they comprise two tiny round magnets mounted side by side. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234518129714 Those are from our new member, Porterhouse Models, I think? Or very similar. Cheers, Andrew Yes they are available from ...
