My Models
1- Clayton Wagon
This is my very first attempt with steam models , patience was nonexistent , as I was in a hurry to see the model working , before finishing the model I started building a locomotive and my attention
was now split between two projects . However the model finished , it worked satisfactorily , see photos attached . Once I got involved with steam locomotives I lost interest in road models , the
engine was stored for many years and then someone expressed interest in and the engine was sold .
2- Conway 0 - 4 - 0 in3.5" G
This is my first locomotive , I used articles in Model Engineer for plans and building instructions , I only obtained a casting for the cylinders block and everything else was fabricated . This engine was run every running day in the club and gave me a lot of pleasure until other engines in 5" G were built . after few years the engine was retired and stored for a long period until it was sold a few years ago . See photo and short video attached .

3- Traction Engine 1.5" : foot scale
Castings and plans for this model were ordered before I started on steam locomotives , when castings arrived I had already started on the Conway and therefore they were stored for a period of time . I started on this model some time later and worked on it ON/OFF for a long time as my interest was in trains and not in road models , I finished the engine and was run on air but never steamed , I lost interest in , I stored it in a glass cabinet in the sitting room for many years .Eventually I sold the engine . See photos attached .
4 - Gemma - 0 -4 - 0 in 5"G Saddle Tank
This is a British shunting engine .very powerful for its size , a very good playing engine , easy to transport and maintain , I sold the engine t a member of our club a few years ago and is still in our club to date . see video and attachments .
