It spans 1980 to the present day of life on Cornwall's railways predominantly in the 1980's. The class 50 and DMU pictures have been moved to a separate gallery within the site. Many people have left kind comments about this gallery, and the amazing range of locomotives that have made it into the Duchy spanning class 20s to the mighty Deltics.

My friends and I aspire to join the heady ranks of the "Professional Guild" of Model makers. That musty old masonic like organisation that few are privileged to enter. Highlight of the year was the footage of me & my loft layout in BBC2's Home programme. Hope you had a chance to see it. This layout has now been dismantled and we have we returned to Cornwall to live. This gallery will always be here to remind us of it though. And a new layout will start soon.
