Artys Gauge 3 Workbench

[Arty]

I like building G3 rolling stock, mainly wagons, but a coach or 2, or even the odd loco.
These generally are not for me, I don’t collect rolling stock - I have nowhere to run them. But I just like making “things”
I build kits for others & scratchbuild vehicles that interest me.
I don’t do this “professionally” but being a retired prod engineer, I like the challenge.
I’m a tool obsessive, and have most of the Proxxon range of woodworking machines & whitemetal casting equip.

I’ll just Post a few pics every now and again of past and current projects.

Hello Arty. I'm interested in the Rustons, just visible in your photo - have they appeared on WT before?

Hi Paul, yes they have, a few years ago.

Great to see you back on your feet and posting here. Superb pictures and lovely models. I particularly like the LNWR Picnic Saloon in LMS livery - brilliant.

Thankyou Jon, I just hope I’ll be in a fit state for the G3 AGM —- I have wagons to deliver

I should just point out that although I built and detailed the 2 LNWR picnic saloons, Liz Marsden painted them.

What a wonderfully small world it is.

Many moons ago, I provided Liz and colleagues, with their IT support. This was when she worked for Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Assembly. Among her other duties Liz was coordinator for their IT needs.
