Ian is famous for his "Railway in a Clock" called "St Georges Hill" (now under new management).  As a scratch builder of great skill, his artistry has been put to excellent use on Horton Regis, the Epsom & Ewell MRC's award winning 0 Gauge layout and by the MRC.

The following pictures represent some of his superlative work, much of which has run at one time or another on both St Georges Hill and Horton Regis.
