Introduction

Hello,

I am Matt, a 23 year old railway nerd that has stumbled into 009 modelling. Being young and busy I have limited time to work on my projects but through this blog shall motivate myself to spend time each week doing something WVLR related. However, since I am currently minus any of the railway itself you will notice the photos are taken on a desk-based test track in front of some other projects I have. These may interest people too so I hope to have a regular feature showcasing one of these, or perhaps a previous project (I have plenty of HBLR bits and pieces to display).

I will aim to credit all techniques I have clearly copied and all manufacturers without whom things would be different indeed! If you feel I have missed someone, just let me know.

I want to make it perfectly clear that this is a long term project and may not be finished before I'm grey or bald (though that is well underway already...)!

Challenge 1: A feature on my latest carriage (No.3) before the end of April.

A Brief Hello

Nothing starts a long term project like creating a blog!

Well I intend to document, to whoever may be interested, the creation of The Wrington Vale Light Railway in 009. It's a real place but I've completed butchered history to create something I hope people will find interesting. If not, just look at the pictures and enjoy crudely made scratch built coaching stock!

The next few weeks will see current photos and info uploaded and from then on there will be regular (fortnightly perhaps) updates on projects which will hopefully include building the railway itself!
