Default One of my late brother's hobbies.

My brother built this, I did some of the work to get the detail and welded up the chassis, he did the bulk of the work. The railways were his passion along with making scale models like this, he also made an 08 shunter. I found the video by accident and I'm sharing it with the members that have similar interests.

Terrific detail, what a credit. I had no idea there was a model rail track at Haigh Hall; got lost in the 75 driving along what turned out to be a cart track around there one Saturday trying to find Wigan RUFC to referee a 1st team match v Whitchurch - one to remember, got there just about in time and ended up red carding the Wigan captain and his No.7 into the bargain!
