Garratt’s are big in O Scale, no doubt. Model locomotive assembly is what I like to do.

Stuff I use, lots

  • Model Railway Paints

    Find me on eBay

    Glue, paint, tools, model kits to build, foreground scenery, 3D printed figures and detail parts. Find it all on my eBay store, if you don’t have an eBay account, no worries! Email me your order direct. I am a small sole trader, and I prefer to stock and support the one man (and girl) suppliers out there. I can post most items Worldwide.

My Story, briefly…

This all began many Years ago. I would never have thought all the Years of modelbuilding as a hobby would evolve into my model locomotive building business today. Towards the end of 2015 I took the leap (with encouragement) and entered locomotive kit building full time. It sure wasn’t an easy transition, though with the backing of some very enthusiastic people I have been able to work on my passion and make alot of people happy seeing their kits finally turn a wheel. Today I specialise in scales O and larger.

My eBay shop came about as I am often asked what product did I use here or similar… You will find products in there are what I use in my assemblies and other hobbies. My shop contains many items I can recommend, because I actually use them… A couple of the brands you will find in my store are featured below.

The little crane pictured…

Yeah, the little crane featured here is H.O Scale, cute or what… This is the Berg’s Hobbies luffing crane kit. It has a large parts count for a loco that is only about 6 or 7cms long. They run superbly and with the large amount of whitemetal casting over the driving wheels, power pickup is efficient. There is just “something” about metal and brass kits that can never be applied to plastic. After 35 odd Years, I’m still trying to work it out. I was once told, “brass is for life…” Yes it certainly is.

 
 

Firescale Modeler Paint from Portugal

Check out the paint sets, primers and putty from Firescale Modeler. These “acrylic lacquer” paints are pre thinned and ready for airbrushing. Each jar contains an agitator to ensure thorough mixing. Firescale Modeler offer a very large range of colours for all styles of model car assembly and military modelling. The paint sets are beautifully presented with mixing pipette.

IckySTICKY
