Donachie, 5724 I'm a regular member of the 'Sarum Finescale' Area Group and my very long term aim is to complete a model of Ventnor West in the post-WWII era. My next challenge will be to tackle something with lining! |

| 1. LBSCR E1 No 3 'Ryde' circa 1956, just prior to withdrawal. This is the excellent Albion Models kit with Sharman wheels and a Portescap motor. |

| 2. LBSCR Terrier No 8 'Freshwater' circa 1949, before her return to the mainland. This is a Branchlines sprung chassis with Paul Berntsen wheels and split axles under a modified Hornby/Dapol body |

It's a London Road Jinty
shunting an ex LNER brake van (Parkside kit) across the canal bridge
into Clecklewyke goods yard. The mill is based on a prototype in Hebden Bridge and is made from Wills stone sheets, as is most of the other stonework. The chimney, embedded in the stone wall, is a cardboard tube to which I stuck approximately 7857 (I counted the first 20 then estimated the rest...) chads rescued when Edinburgh University's card punch machine was scrapped some 17 years ago. The fire escape is made from two Langley (I think) etchings, fiddly but nice. The canal lock is actually Wolvercote, on the Oxford canal - should normally be broad gauge in West Yorkshire but I reckon it's a branch off the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. |

| Croome
Court is scratchbuilt, fully sprung and sits on Ultrascale wheels. Croome Court is powered by a Mashima can motor through Ultrascale gears, |

| Both of these two Collett 57 foot
bow ended coaches are from Comet kits; the gangways are scratchbuilt. Both coaches have Alan Gibson wheels running in partially sprung bogies. The colours aren't quite so garish in real life!

| This 9F started life as a DJH kit,
but uses many
Alan Gibson parts. The model is now fully weathered and looks even
better than it does here. Pictures courtesy of Russ Elliott. |
