| Railway Works Now that I am retiring from 'normal' work, I have the time and workshop resources to build for others on a regular basis. So, I offer my services as a builder for that project you want to complete but do not have either the time or perhaps the inclination to build yourself. Elswhere on this site you can view many examples of my work. |
What the clients say: A master with a soldering iron, neat and tidy construction. Models that run as well as they look JM P/Way train |
| Guarantee. All my work is guaranteed and no project leaves my workshop unless it works as intended. Any subsequent problems that may arise due to faulty workmanship or materials will be fixed at no further costs other than carriage, see 45xx disaster. |
Dear Raymond, You have built a number of items from Black Duncan - a stalwart of the loco fleet, to humble cattle wagons - that work regularly on my layout, Tarbert. Each and every one is built faultlessly and does what it says on the tin. Thanks! Geoff Bennet GWR Beetle, BR Brake Van, NER 10T Brake Van, LNER Mites, GWR Fruit D. |

Painting. Generally, I do not paint but have a number of top class painters with whom I work and their fees can also be agreed in advance. Where a client wishes to arrange his or her own painting, the project can be supplied finished in primer or bare metal. |
Steamlines Limited The following, build only, commissions have been successfully completed and my customers have commented extremely favourably on the build quality. Black 5 BR 9F Chris Aldred. |

Progress of the project can be followed because I will write it up as a running commentary under Work in Progress on this site. |

I am happy to provide quotations for work at 7mm to the foot in any of the following areas: Kit building - Locomotives, passenger and goods rated stock, see Reviews. Kit modification/'bashing' to produce something not readily available, see GWR V5 PLVl Track building from Templot templates, see a test piece. Layout track drawings using Templot to any gauge/scale, see Crieff. Wheel turning, see wheel turning. |

Terms. A clear and detailed brief of what you require is essential and a price will be agreed for the whole project, which will not change unless you change the brief, or some unforeseen problem causes a change of plan. In these circumstances, we discuss and agree the way forward. If not provided then costs of kits, wheels, etc., are required at the start of a project. |
|
|
Payment. This may be effected via internet banking (preferred), personal cheque or PayPal (least desired option). Generally, a deposit of 25% of the agreed fee is required at the commencement of work, the remainder is paid on delivery of the completed project. |
|
|
Timescale. An estimated time for completion can be discussed but generally, I do not work to deadlines. |
|
|
Written Agreement. I am happy to enter into a written agreement for your project. |
