Attending the Awdry Extravaganza was a weekend where I was able to tick off so many things on my Bucket list, one of them was being able to have Thomas and James photographed next to Awdry's original models. Thank you so much to the staff @talyllyn.co.uk for making this happen!
As the #awdryextravaganza begins tomorrow I have decided to pause work on James and bring him as he is. There is still a lot of work to do but I would like to take my time with no pressure or deadline to get him finished. I will also be bringing Thomas and his two coaches, see you all tomorrow! 😀
Thank you so much! James is a mixture of various kits, I'm planning to write a full blog post about him when I'm finished 😄
Okay, I feel like I am at a stage where I am comfortable to show everyone my secret project. Still a little way to go, but here's hoping for Friday! 🤞
Yesterday I bought the 80th Anniversary James from @SmythsToysUK couldn't resist 😁 Here he poses with the Tender of my secret project, more will be out soon!
I used to go there a lot with my family when I was a kid. Haven't been back since I was at school and I have been meaning to! I still recognise it and all the Trains, I think it's amazing they are still using the same models after all these years!
Can I message you to request a commission, please? 🙂

Last year I was asked to help run the O gauge layout at the Slough Model Railway Exhibition. This is a model of the Slough Estates Sidings close to the Farnham Road railway bridge. Of course Thomas would never have been in the yards, but there may have been one or two 3F Jinties shunting there.
Another Wagon, another Broken Buffer.
Not blaming the delivery driver this time, but note to 3D Printers, thin buffers might not travel well!
Despite this I'm very happy with my new collection of O gauge Thomas Wagons!
Charming work by Gary Walton. Another popular artist.
Dear Delivery Driver,
The parcel clearly says 'Fragile, Please Handle with Care', NOT 'Drop it over the fence because no one's in!'
I don't know why the Trucks looking so happy!
Just received my new O Gauge Wagon!
This is an O gauge replica of the Green Troublesome Truck prop from Thomas. Resin body, with metal wheels and couplings! Detailing is flawless, The model could easily pass for a Dapol or Lionheart wagon!
Thank you so much, Kyle!

Welcome to Wake Model Railway Services!
I offer repairs, servicing, weathering, and more, for any gauge, any scale, any age.
Pictured here is my current project, an 0 gauge GWR P14 Starfish kit.
Someone once said they thought this face was meant for Oliver. Bit wide, but what do we think?
Also can you guess which Railway Series book cover this face is based from?
So happy right now! I still enjoy running my Hornby Caledonian Single Train Pack but it'll be nice to finally see No. 123 in actual Super Detail this time!
A Great Western Engine and an Auto Coach too, I was allowed to take these for a very good price! Thank you Matt!
Two visiting locos are in the workshop for repair, hoping to have them both ready for some of the upcoming O gauge events this year! Including the Slough Model Railway Exhibition in October. #SMRX25
At last! Make sure you take lots and lots of pictures! 😎
Fantastic, really hope to be able to make this one!
Hello, Tom here. I am a Railway Modeller in both 00 and O gauge, and I enjoy making videos where I review, build and repair Model Trains.
