Saddened to hear that Martin Carthy has announced he is retiring from touring due to a Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I spoke to him once in the men’s toilet at Wolverhampton MAC in I think 2017 when in true fan fashion I mumbled a hello Mr McCartney.

Twelve months apart on my first ever 00 gauge #modelrailway #modelrairoad, this layout is dedicated to my grandfather who drove the actual loco that’s modelled D213 Andania a class 40 diesel on his final shift before retiring from BR in the 60’s

A layout is never finished but D213 is getting close enough to pause and share...also after much consideration I decided to name the station Andania, the same as the loco.

Time to add all the signage to D213’s layout what better reference than this gem from @doublearrow64.bsky.social

I’ve come a long way in twelve months on my journey in #Linoprinting from my first attempt on the right to having my prints used in a commercial calendar.

First of my D213 layout station lights installed and on a temporary battery pack the rest will follow once I can sort out the wiring.

I’m new to #linoprinting so I’m delighted that the Worth Valley railway commissioned me to produce prints of their diesel loco fleet which are now available as gift cards and a calendar

Work in progress on my D213 Andania 00 gauge layout station,still loads of details and weathering to do but these are some of my first scratch built buildings and I’m rather pleased with them.

Just watched Bake Off extra slice on Channel 4 and disgusted that when food banks are the norm and children are starving in Palestine they thought it would be a laugh to have celebs throw food at each other 😡😡

Six of the 12 Lino prints I made for the @worthvalley.bsky.social 2026 diesel calendar. This was an enjoyable but challenging project as I’m relatively new to printmaking.

A question for all you OO gauge model rail enthusiasts..having built my DC layout using Peco electrofrog points will I now have to modify them in any way to run DCC ?..it will be extremely difficult and potentially damaging to do so as they are all fixed down and ballasted.

Took this on the Rochdale Canal in our town Hebden Bridge last night
